JustClock for Visual Studio Code – Automatic Work Time Tracking Extension

JustClock for Visual Studio Code

Automatic Work Time Tracking for Visual Studio Code.

JustClock is a lightweight VS Code extension that logs your coding time in the background — no timers to start, no manual entries to remember.

It sits quietly next to your existing extensions and sends work data in minute-level intervals, so nothing gets lost even if VS Code closes unexpectedly.

Built for the VS Code Workflow

  • Runs alongside your existing extensions without conflicts
  • Doesn't touch your settings.json or workspace files
  • Tracks time per project automatically as you switch folders
  • Works the same way whether you code JavaScript, Python, Go or anything else

Also using Cursor? The same extension works there too — see the dedicated Cursor page.
