System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Prevents lost work-time context by automating WakaTime time-tracking for Claude Code and VS Code so your AI coding and editor activity is recorded reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • wakatime-cli installation and linking: ensures the CLI is available and callable from a predictable path.
  • Hook integration for Claude Code: installs a wakatime-heartbeat hook and guides adding it to UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse, and Stop events.
  • Optional desktop focus tracking: guides installing the WakaTime Desktop App for window-focus tracking and macOS accessibility permissions.
  • Use case: a developer wants all Claude Code sessions and VS Code editing time logged to a single WakaTime dashboard for personal productivity analysis.

Quick Start

Install wakatime-cli, add your WakaTime API key to ~/.wakatime.cfg, copy the wakatime-heartbeat hook to ~/.claude/hooks, and add the hook entries to ~/.claude/settings.json to start automatic tracking.
