WorqLog for VS Code
The VS Code extension sends lightweight activity metrics to the local WorqLog app, not full file contents. It keeps retrying when the app is offline and reconnects automatically once the bridge is available.
Signals captured
- Copilot chat focus duration and inline completion estimates
- File-save count and line add/remove deltas
- Workspace metadata sync (name, folders, VS Code version)
- Terminal AI tool detection for common commands
- Optional model discovery in Precision Mode
Commands & settings
- Command: WorqLog: Show Activity Log
- Setting: worqlog.precisionMode (default: false)
- Setting: worqlog.claudeWatchInterval (default: 5000ms)
- Bridge socket: ~/Library/Application Support/WorqLog/bridge.sock

How it works
Install WorqLog
Download and launch the macOS app. Grant Accessibility and Calendar permissions when prompted — that is the full setup.
Add your extensions
Install the VS Code extension from the Marketplace and the browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
Work normally
WorqLog runs silently in the background. Sessions, projects, and AI usage are tracked and organized automatically.
Everything you need
All the signal, none of the noise
Automatic tracking
No timers. WorqLog watches window focus and infers your work sessions automatically from running applications and open projects.
AI usage insights
See exactly how much time you spend with Copilot, Claude, and other AI tools — broken down per project and per day.
Meeting analytics
Calendar-linked meeting logging with optional transcription, attendee count, and cost-per-minute estimates.
Git integration
Commit history overlays your time data so you can trace effort directly to delivered code, files, and branches.
Project breakdown
Hours are attributed to projects automatically from window titles, workspace paths, and browser URLs.
Unified timeline
macOS app, VS Code, and browser tab events merge into a single, searchable daily activity stream.
Privacy first
Your data never leaves
your Mac.
WorqLog stores everything in a local SQLite database on your machine. There is no account, no subscription, no analytics server, and no internet connection required for core features.

Access paths
Choose the right entry point.
Public entry points stay explicit and intentional. Official channels are linked when they are available; private engineering infrastructure is not part of the public experience.
