> VS CODE TIME TRACKING

    Track Your Time in VS Code

    Install the extension. Code normally. Every session, every file, every idle gap — tracked automatically. Works in VS Code and Cursor.

    Extension preview

    Per-file tracking without a timer in sight.

    Active file, repo branch, session total, and recent tracked files are rendered in the same compact UI developers see while reviewing their work.

    WakaTime Shows You Stats. DevClocked Gives You Timesheets.

    Coding stats are nice. But they don't help you bill clients, generate invoices, or prove your hours to a manager. DevClocked goes beyond stats — it builds actionable timesheets from your VS Code activity, with per-file tracking, idle detection, and export-ready reports.

    How It Works

    01

    Install the extension

    Search "DevClocked" in the VS Code or Cursor marketplace. One click install, paste your API key, done.

    02

    Code normally

    No buttons, no timers. DevClocked detects file edits, saves, and focus events in the background. Idle gaps are detected automatically.

    03

    Review your sessions

    Sessions appear in your dashboard with per-file time, project context, and branch info. Export as timesheets or generate invoices.

    More Than Coding Stats

    Per-file active time tracking

    See exactly how long you spent in each file. Identify where complexity lives and which files consume the most engineering time.

    Automatic idle detection

    5-minute idle timeout with no false positives. Leave VS Code open during lunch — DevClocked pauses automatically and resumes when you return.

    Multi-source sessions

    Switch from VS Code to Chrome to Terminal — DevClocked keeps one session alive. All tools feed the same timeline.

    Timesheets and invoices

    VS Code activity becomes export-ready timesheets and professional invoices. Not just stats — actual billing data.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about DevClocked

    The DevClocked VS Code extension detects file opens, saves, focus events, and editor switches. It sends lightweight ticks to the DevClocked server — no file contents, just metadata like file name, language, and timestamps.

    Yes. Cursor is built on VS Code, so the same extension works in both editors. Install from the marketplace and it detects your editor automatically.

    Yes. The VS Code extension provides deep file-level tracking — see exactly how long you spent in each file, which files got the most attention, and where complexity lives in your codebase.

    Windsurf support is coming soon. Any VS Code-compatible editor that supports the extension marketplace should work with the DevClocked extension.

    No. The extension is lightweight — it only listens for native VS Code events (file save, focus change) and sends small tick payloads. No file reading, no content analysis, no performance impact.
