Wrapped for VS Code: your year in code

Wrapped for VS Code: a story of your coding year

Your coding year in review, Wrapped-style. Streaks, peak hours, top languages, your most-saved file, every commit, your Claude Code habits and a developer persona, told as a 12-card story you tap through. At the end you get a share card for X, LinkedIn or Bluesky.

It works the moment you install it. Other year-in-review tools only start counting after you install them, so in December they have nothing to show. Wrapped rebuilds your whole year from history that's already on your machine.

Demo: tapping through the story

Get started

Install Wrapped for VS Code.
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).
Run Wrapped: Show My Year in Code.

Click or press → to go forward and ← to go back. Hold the mouse button or press Space to pause.

The 12 cards

All 12 cards

	Card	What it shows
01	hello.md	Your year, with lines of your own code drifting by
02	days.md	Days you showed up, as twelve calendars that fill in, plus your longest streak
03	clock.ts	A 24-hour code clock, your peak hour and your favourite weekday
04	languages.json	Your top five languages, ranked
05	projects/	Every project you touched, sized by how much you worked on it
06	save.log	The file you pressed Ctrl+S on most, and how many times
07	graveyard/	Files you created, edited and then deleted. Rest in peace.
08	git.log	Commits, lines added and removed, your favourite first word, every `fix`
09	claude.jsonl	You & Claude Code: prompts, actions, your catchphrase, its favourite tool
10	biggest day	Your busiest day of the year, hour by hour
11	developer.id	Your coding persona, like The Night Owl AI Whisperer
12	share.png	A 1080×1350 share card and a ready-to-paste caption

Developer ID card and share poster

Your persona combines when you code (Dawn, Morning, Afternoon, Golden Hour, Night Owl, Midnight) with how you code: Serial Starter, AI Whisperer, Commit Machine, Ruthless Editor, Polyglot, a language Purist or Builder.

Press save image for the poster, or copy caption for a one-line summary ending in #VSCodeWrapped.

Where the numbers come from

Everything is read locally. Nothing is uploaded.

Source	What it gives Wrapped
Editor local history (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Insiders, VSCodium)	Every save: days, hours, languages, most-saved file, deleted files
Folders you've opened	The list of your projects
git in those folders	Only your commits (matched by your git email and name): counts, lines, messages
Claude Code (`~/.claude/projects`)	Prompts, actions, tools and catchphrases, if you use it

Privacy

No network requests, no telemetry, no account.
Nothing is written anywhere except the share image, and only when you save it.
The share card shows summary numbers only: no file names, code or project names.

FAQ

Does it work without git or Claude Code? Yes. Each source is optional. Editor history alone is enough for most cards.

Does it work in Cursor or Windsurf? Yes. It reads the local history of every VS Code-based editor installed on your machine, so one Wrapped covers all of them.

Can I see last year? Run Wrapped: Show a Different Year…

Why are my save counts lower than I expected? VS Code keeps up to 50 versions per file by default (workbench.localHistory.maxFileEntries), and only for saves made inside the editor. Commits and Claude Code sessions fill most of the gap.

Which operating systems are supported? Windows, macOS and Linux.
