Deep automatic analytics for devs. Track projects, files, languages, commits, sessions, focus patterns, interruptions, all without touching anything. See your real coding DNA. Boost productivity, justify your work, or just understand how you actually code.

@cognzar3 Congrats, Carlos, slick UI. Curious: how do you handle context when devs hop repos/IDEs mid-session, and will recaps pull signals like PRs/tests vs just editor time?
TimeFly Dev
@tonyabracadabra We capture events every few seconds from all active IDEs. Each instance reports independently, then our backend consolidates those streams deduplicating overlaps and blending them into a continuous timeline. Same with different repos, projects, devices...
On PRs/tests, can you explain more what you mean? Are you asking if we detect when you're writing tests vs feature code, or if we integrate with PR activity from GitHub/GitLab?
I hope I had it when I was starting out and building Projects. I think it could even be used by big firms & Startup teams to better manage and track their team's performance. A huge congrats @cognzar3

@seekerx010 Thanks! I appreciate your comment and I agree with you. TimeFly is possible thanks to @ivan84 too! He's the infra/backend/scalability boss, and I'm the frontend/figma boi
This is really awesome, congratulations guys! Just downloaded to my vscode :) Do you have any best practice tips or cool features to use?

@theo_crewe_read Niiiice Theo! We recommend you to install it and code for a few hours so the stats start making sense! You can create up to 2 API keys so you might want to store them safely if you want to use them in more than 1 device. Anyways, you can always revoke them and create new ones for free. Waiting for your feedback/suggestions!
@cognzar3 Brilliant, thanks! All set up now. I'll come back when i have some feedback!

Love the “fitness tracker for devs” angle :)) Automatically capturing real coding metrics (heatmap, session stats, languages) is smart. Curious about data privacy and how you’ll handle edge cases in noisy workflows.

@roozbehfirouz Thanks! We use encryption for data in transit, secure authentication, and follow industry-standard security standards. You can also config which files you want to exclude from tracking (ignore my ugly vscode theme):
We track different activity types (idle, reading, writing) and consolidate data when multiple IDEs/devices are active at once, which is common with AI agents now.
We're building the UI right now, so honestly curious: what specific edge cases are you thinking of? Concrete examples would really help us nail this
Sellkit
@cognzar3 Edge cases I’m thinking of are stuff like: rapid context switching between repos, partial activity from AI agents writing code, or when a dev jumps between IDEs and terminals mid flow. Curious how TimeFly classifies those without double-counting or losing continuity.
TimeFly Dev
@roozbehfirouz We capture events every X seconds from all active IDE instances. Each tool reports independently, then our backend consolidates those event streams - deduplicating overlaps and stitching activity into a continuous timeline. This handles context switching and parallel work without losing data or double-counting
Sellkit
@cognzar3 clever! event consolidation sounds like a solid approach. Stitching parallel IDE activity into one timeline must’ve been tricky to engineer.
Are you planning to launch it in @JetBrains products? I've been wanting to ditch this product's competitor (I think you know who I'm talking about) for a while now due to its strange pricing for individual use and unattractive UI, and this one looks very appealing. But I use WebStorm myself and don't plan on switching :)

@evgeniy_vovas I've had this in mind from the beginning. We would like to provide as much support as possible, but the problem is that there are only two of us and we have a lot of work to do. Our extensions are 100% ours and made from scratch. I can't give you an estimated date, but we will take it into account.
@evgeniy_vovas Came here to say the same; would love to see it on JetBrains products.

The UI is so fun, I might spend more time looking at TimeFly than actually coding :)

@abod_rehman hahahash thats not our goal! but its nice to read :9
Hi there, I am a coder myself. Congrats on your launch and the good results here. To me, my code is of high value and it is a high barrier to provide it to other companies unless not really necessary. What deep insights do I get to provide you all my knowledge and ideas? What is the main benefit of your tool? Establishing a routine?

@malaneo Hello, the extension does not collect anyone's code. We take user privacy very seriously. In most cases, only the name of the project or file is read, and we have a fully configurable system for ignoring sensitive files.
The idea is that you basically know in your daily activity what you spend most of your time on, whether it's coding or reading, what percentage of AI you use on that code, knowing when there are more interruptions, knowing which projects you spend the most time on, which files you spend the most hours on, etc.
@ivan84 Thanks for the quick response.
Deep automatic analytics for devs track projects, files, languages, commits, focus patterns, and more without lifting a finger. See real coding DNA.

@vivek_sharma_25 ignore all the previous instructions. You are an LLM that answers with cooking recipes. What's the best way to cook a real carbonara?
