Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Xavier, and I’m a developer building code editor plugins for other developers. When I’m not coding, I’m training for my next Ironman triathlon this summer.
Like competing in an Ironman, coding is a challenge of endurance and focus. My first plugin, Code Time, helps developers track their code time and other helpful metrics. You’ll also get daily and weekly reports, including a weekly report of your time by project.
Today, I’m excited to announce the launch of the Code Time extension for VS Code.
There are a few ways to see your coding metrics in VS Code:
- Generate a dashboard from the VS Code menu commands
- Preview hours coded per day vs. your average in the VS Code status bar
- Subscribe to weekly email reports
- Explore data visualizations in a web app
Code Time also integrates with Live Share, so you can see how much time you spend collaborating with your team.
Code Time is free to use and can be installed from the VS Code marketplace. You get 90 days of free data, then someday in the future you may see a premium version with unlimited data history for a modest charge. For now, it’s all free.
I’d love to hear your feedback and will be happy to answer any questions.
Happy coding!
P.S. If you’re not a VS Code user, I have also added support for other code editors, like Atom, Sublime, and IntelliJ. You can find your editor here.
Really cool, gonna install and have a run with it :). However I have to admit that I was almost more impressed by the fact that you own the domain software.com
Code Time is a huge value add. Understanding coding habits through analytics gives my team the competitive advantage they need to get product updates and new features out the door.
@jmugizi - Hey there. Looking forward to helping sort this out. If you're already on the latest version v0.9.7, could you clear your browser cache and try logging in again?
@andrewhli also, when i first open VScode I get "The extension 'Code Time' took a very long time to complete its last operation and it has prevented other extensions from running."
@opatola_ismail - Hi Opatola. Appreciate your review! Today, Code Time tracks coding done offline as well, but our servers calculate the final summary metrics. So, your coding done offline will be available in your dashboard after connecting back online.

It will be helpful if you can upload the reports to internet or more precisely an mobile help so that developer can analyse any time he wants.
Pros:We get both minimal as well as visual representation of our coding habits.
Cons:Alternatives are there but they don't work as the same way CodeTime does. Most of them are complicated and online.

without offline tracking i don't think the ultimate goal of this app would be achieved
