T.I.C.K. for Visual Studio Code
Free, self-hosted coding time tracking. Sends heartbeats to your own T.I.C.K. server -- no third-party service, no telemetry.
Setup
- Run T.I.C.K.: Set Server URL (defaults to
https://tick.thenolle.com).
- Generate a personal API key from your server's Settings page.
- Run T.I.C.K.: Set API Key and paste it in -- it's stored in VS Code's encrypted secret storage, never in plaintext settings.
Your status bar shows today's tracked coding time, refreshed every minute and after every save.
