JustClock for CLion – Automatic Work Time Tracking for C/C++ Developers

JustClock for CLion

Automatic Work Time Tracking for CLion.

JustClock tracks the hours you spend on C and C++ projects in CLion — embedded, systems and performance-critical code — automatically, without breaking your flow.

Time is captured per project and sent in minute-level intervals, so a crash, restart or forgotten timer never means lost hours.

Built for Systems and Embedded Development

  • Works the same across CMake, embedded toolchains and cross-compilation setups
  • Doesn't interfere with debuggers or hardware-in-the-loop workflows
  • Useful for consultancies billing hardware and firmware clients by the hour
  • No impact on build or debug performance

The same plugin also works in GoLand and Rider — see the full JetBrains family overview.
