WakaTime is an automated time-tracking and productivity analytics service for software developers. IDE plugins (VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, Emacs, Sublime, Xcode, Visual Studio, Eclipse, and many more) send heartbeats describing the file, project, language, branch, and editor a developer is working in, and the WakaTime API v1 aggregates that data into dashboards, summaries, stats, goals, leaderboards, and team/organization dashboards. WakaTime also offers private leaderboards, code-time-on-commit enrichment for GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket, embeddable charts, and a full data export.
