If you are a beginner and want to track your programming and coding metrics, then you are at the right place.

TLDR; Use Wakapi

WakaTime

WakaTime is great and really easy to setup. It is open source and comes with the following features:

  • See time spent per project, file, or feature
  • Compare time in meetings vs coding
  • Identify bottlenecks in your codebase
  • Compete with leaderboards and goals

I myself have used WakaTime for personal projects. The only 😢BUMMER! with WakaTime is that it stores the data for the last 7 days only. If you want the data for more than that (>7 days), you need to buy the premium!

This is how 1 week of looked like for me:
