KaikeyTime — Privacy-First Coding Analytics
Track your coding activity 100% locally. Beautiful shareable cards. No account. No API key. No cloud. Your data never leaves your machine.
Why KaikeyTime?
Every major coding analytics tool (WakaTime, Code::Stats) requires an account and routes your data through their servers. KaikeyTime is different — everything lives in a single JSON file on your computer. Zero network requests with your data. Zero sign-up. Zero surveillance.
Features
🔒 100% Local & Private
- All data stored in VS Code's global storage as a local JSON file
- No telemetry, no accounts, no API keys required
- One-click Export My Data (JSON) and Reset All Data
⚡ Live Pulse Status Bar
Always-visible status bar item shows today's focus time and streak in real time:
⏱ 2h 14m · 🔥7d
Click it to open the dashboard instantly.
📊 Beautiful Dashboard
Rich analytics dashboard featuring:
- Today's headline stats — focus time, lines added, files touched
- Weekly activity bar chart — your last 7 days at a glance
- Language breakdown — animated donut chart showing time per language
- Activity heatmap — GitHub-style, day × hour (all-time patterns)
- Project breakdown — time and lines per workspace
- Streak tracker — current and all-time best streak
- AI-assist ratio gauge — visual estimate of AI-generated code
🤖 AI-Assisted Code Ratio (Unique Feature)
KaikeyTime estimates what percentage of your code was likely AI-generated by detecting large single-shot insertions — multi-line blocks inserted in one edit event, characteristic of GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and other AI tools. Shown as an approximate percentage, clearly labeled as an estimate.
🎴 Strand Cards — Shareable Visual Summaries
Generate a stunning screenshot-ready card with one command:
Command Palette → KaikeyTime: Generate Strand Card
- Choose Daily, Weekly, or Monthly
- 4 gorgeous themes: Dark, Neon (cyberpunk), Ocean, Forest
- Renders at 1200 × 630px — perfect for LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Discord
- Exports as PNG directly to your Desktop
- Small "made with KaikeyTime" branding mark
Example card:
This Week: 18h 42m focused · 62% TypeScript
14,203 lines · 9-day streak · 28% AI-assisted
💡 Gentle Insights
Positive, factual observations about your patterns:
