This week I spotted a social media post about wakapi which is an open source implementation of the WakaTime time tracking server software (which up until that point I hadn’t heard of). The thing that interests me about these solutios that they’re kind of developer focussed and tell you things like which project you had open, what programming language(s) you spent most time reading/writing and so on. Wakatime also have nice easy install-and-forget plugins for a BUNCH of IDEs including VSCode (where I spend most of my professional working day), NeoVIM, PyCharm and others. All of the plugins have open source (generally seems to be BSD 3-clause) licensing.

I’m quite interested in tracking where my time is being spent - both in my personal hobbyist/phd dev activities and also
