How AI is used
WakaTime is a productivity tool for developers that tracks time spent coding without manual timers. Using open-source plugins across various IDEs and text editors, the tool collects metrics on project time, file activity, and programming languages used.
It is designed for software development teams and individual programmers to visualize work habits. The platform provides dashboards that show where time is spent, which may help identify bottlenecks in a codebase or compare active coding time against time spent in meetings.
The tool can distinguish between human-written code and lines generated by AI, which supports monitoring the impact of AI assistants on development workflows.
Buyers should confirm plan details, as the Free version has limited dashboard history, while Team and Business plans are used for shared aggregated dashboards and advanced access controls.

FAQ
How does WakaTime track time automatically?
- WakaTime uses open-source plugins installed in the IDE that record activity based on file edits and time spent actively working in the editor.
What are the differences between the individual plans?
- The Free plan provides one week of history. Basic adds more history and goals, while Premium supports unlimited dashboard history and unlocks historical code stats.
How is pricing handled for teams?
- Team and Business plans charge per developer. A paid seat is required for each person whose stats are displayed on team dashboards; view-only accounts for managers typically do not require a paid seat.
