Guides, comparisons and engineering notes on measuring developer time, human and agent. Everything here is written from how the measurement actually works, not from how it is marketed.
How to Build a Developer Portfolio From Your Git History (2026)
Your git history is a truer portfolio than any curated site, because it is a record of real work rather than a claim about it. How to turn commit history into proof, and where it falls short.
How to Measure Coding Time Without a Timer (2026)
How to measure coding time without a timer: read your git history, add passive telemetry, and skip the stopwatch entirely. A practical guide for developers in the AI era.
Git-Based Time Tracking: What It Is and When to Use It (2026)
What git-based time tracking is, how it compares to plugin-based and manual tracking, and where it actually fits. A practical category guide for developers in the AI era.
How to Track Time Spent Coding on GitHub (2026 Guide)
GitHub does not track time, so to track time spent coding on GitHub you reconstruct sessions from commit history. Why that is only a baseline, and what makes it accurate.
Time Tracking From Git Commits: How It Works and Where It Breaks (2026)
How time tracking from git commits actually works, the three common methods and their accuracy, and why commit history is a benchmark rather than a clock in the AI era.
Resume vs Proof-of-Work Profile: What Actually Gets Developers Hired in 2026
Resume vs proof-of-work profile, compared for developers in 2026. What each one is for, why a resume is a claim and a proof-of-work profile is evidence, and when you still need both.
LinkedIn vs GitHub for Developers: Which One Actually Gets You Hired in 2026?
LinkedIn vs GitHub for developers, compared for 2026. Which one recruiters actually read, what each is best for, and why neither one proves you wrote the work.
GitHub Profile vs Portfolio Site: Which Should Developers Build in 2026?
GitHub profile vs portfolio site, compared for developers in 2026. Which one actually proves your skill, what each is best for, and why neither verifies the work on its own.
Git-Based Time Tracking vs Manual Timesheets (2026): Which Is More Accurate?
Git-based time tracking vs manual timesheets compared in 2026. Passive capture versus memory-based entry, what each gets right, where each breaks, and the telemetry layer that makes git-based hours accurate.
WakaTime vs Toggl (2026): Automatic Code Tracking vs Manual Timers
WakaTime vs Toggl compared in 2026. Automatic code-level editor tracking versus a manual start-stop timer for billable work, with an honest verdict, a side-by-side table, and the git-based option both miss.
GitHub README Alternatives: 7 Better Ways to Show Your Dev Work (2026)
The best GitHub README alternatives in 2026, ranked by how well each one actually shows your work. Portfolio sites, dev profiles, link pages, and proof-of-work profiles compared, with honest pros and cons.
Open Source Time Tracking for Developers: 6 Tools That Actually Fit a Coding Workflow (2026)
The best open source time tracking tools for developers in 2026, tested and ranked. Self-hosted, data-owning picks for CLI, IDE, and git-based workflows, plus where open source stops short of proof.

The DevClocked Agent
Ask questions about your own data in plain language at /agent. It reads through 15 tools covering summaries, projects, time breakdowns, sessions, commits, clients, invoices, unbilled time, timesheet items, invoicing coverage, and workspace rollups. Eight more tools can propose actions, but nothing runs until you accept its confirm card. Ask it to close out the month and it walks the invoicing recipe one step per turn, from coverage check to invoice draft. Available on Pro.

Gemini CLI Agent Tracking
The Mac app now reads Gemini CLI sessions, so those agent turns land beside your Claude Code and Codex work instead of disappearing into plain terminal time. The daemon parses your local session files for the model, input, output and cached tokens, tool calls, and subagent nesting, then attributes each session to the right project. Message content never leaves your machine; only counts and metadata are sent. Requires Mac app v1.4.49 or later. Gemini models are not priced yet, so you will see token counts rather than cost.

Export Reports as PDF
Every report — Overview, Commits, and Issues — now has an Export PDF button that produces a clean, print-optimized document honouring your active filters and date range, ready to attach to an invoice or share with a client. Exports are generated locally in your browser; no data leaves your machine.

Figma Design Tracking
The Mac app now tracks time in the Figma desktop app as real design hours — automatically, with nothing to configure. Turn on optional file-name tracking to attribute design time to individual Figma files and auto-map it to projects by naming files "Project — File". Off by default, reading window titles of design apps only, behind an explicit macOS Accessibility grant you approve yourself.
