Getting Started

What is chronoly?

Chrono.ly is a time tracking tool designed specifically for developers, aiming to boost overall productivity. Currently, Chrono.ly supports the Visual Studio Code IDE. By using the VS Code extension, developers can visualize how they spend their coding time through various graphs and metrics.

The extension collects timestamps of file openings within the IDE, along with the project's name and file name. This data is then used to populate your dashboard, providing insightful overviews of your coding habits.
