TMetrix - Time Tracking for VS Code

TMetrix is a lightweight time tracking extension that automatically monitors your coding activity and sends detailed metrics to your TMetrix server.

Features

Automatic Time Tracking: Tracks your active coding time without manual intervention
Comprehensive Activity Tracking: Monitors various editor activities:
- Coding: Active typing and text editing with time tracking
- File Operations: Opening and closing files
- Navigation: Scrolling and moving through code
- Text Selection: Selecting code for copying or reading
- Debug Sessions: Starting and stopping debugger
- Terminal Usage: Opening terminals and terminal state changes
- File Switching: Changing between different files
Smart Inactivity Detection: Automatically stops tracking when you're inactive
Project Detection: Intelligently identifies projects using git repositories or project markers
Multi-Platform Support: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS
File-Level Tracking: Records which files you're working on
Rich Metadata: Sends contextual information with each activity (language, line counts, session details, etc.)
Configurable: Customize API endpoint, inactivity threshold, and logging intervals

Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace
On first activation, ctrl + shift + p and enter your TMetrix API Key (https://tmetrix.site)
Start coding! The extension will automatically track your time

This extension contributes the following command:

Project Initialization: On startup, TMetrix identifies your project by checking for:
- Git repository information
- Project markers (package.json, pyproject.toml, pom.xml, Cargo.toml)
Activity Tracking: The extension tracks multiple types of activities with time measurement:
- Coding Time: Tracks time when you're actively typing in files (original functionality)
- Text Selection: Tracks time spent selecting text (e.g., for copying or reading)
- Navigation: Tracks time spent scrolling and navigating through code
- Debug Sessions: Tracks time spent in debug mode
- Terminal Activity: Tracks time spent working in terminal
Smart Time Tracking:
- Each activity type has its own independent timer
- Multiple activities can be tracked simultaneously
- Automatic inactivity detection stops timers when idle
- All activities send their accumulated time (in seconds) to the API
Smart Throttling: To avoid overwhelming the API, certain high-frequency activities use throttling:
- Text selections: 2 seconds between detections
- Navigation events: 3 seconds between detections
- Terminal state changes: 3 seconds between detections
Data Submission: Periodically sends activity data to your TMetrix server including:
- Project ID
- Activity time in seconds
- Current file path
- Editor type and OS information

All tracking data is sent only to your configured TMetrix server. No data is sent to third parties.

Enjoy tracking your coding time with TMetrix! ⏱️
