Code TimeCode Time is an open source plugin for automatic programming metrics and time-tracking. Getting startedCreate your web account The Code Time web app has data visualizations and settings you can customize, such as your work hours and rates per project for advanced time tracking. You can also connect Google Calendar to visualize your Code Time vs. meetings in a single calendar. You can connect multiple code editors on multiple devices using the same email account. Track your progress during the day Your status bar shows you in real-time how many hours and minutes you code each day. A rocket will appear if your active code time exceeds your daily average on this day of the week. Check out your coding activity To see an overview of your coding activity and project metrics, open the Code Time panel by clicking on the Code Time icon in your side bar. In your Daily Metrics, your code time is the total time you have spent in your editor today. Your active code time is the total time you have been typing in your editor today. Each metric shows how you compare today to your average and the global average. Each average is calculated by day of week over the last 90 days (e.g. a Friday average is an average of all previous Fridays). You can also see your top files today by KPM (keystrokes per minute), keystrokes, and code time. If you have a Git repository open, Contributors provides a breakdown of contributors to the current open project and their latest commits. Generate your Code Time summary At the end of your first day, open Code Time in your side bar and click View summary to open your dashboard in a new editor tab. Your dashboard summarizes your coding data—such as your code time by project, lines of code, and keystrokes per minute—today, yesterday, last week, and over the last 90 days. Web app data visualizations Click "See advanced metrics" in the Code Time side bar or visit app.software.com to see more data visualizations. Here are a few examples of what you will see in your feed after your first week. Code Time heatmap Code Time measures your coding activity per hour and summarizes your data in a weekly and 90-day average heatmap. Protect your best times on your heatmap from meetings and interrupts to help boost your productivity.
Project-based reports See how much time you spend per project per week. Code Time also lets you set a rate per project and export your data to a CSV.
Work-life balance How much do you code after hours and weekends? Code Time helps you see your breakdown at work vs. outside work so you can find ways to improve your work-life balance.
Commit velocity Code Time integrates with Git, so you can see your speed, frequency, and top files across your commits.
