A precise record of
how software work happens.

WorqLog captures development activity across macOS, VS Code, and the browser with a local-first architecture built for teams that need operational clarity without exposing their internal tooling, code, or workflow history.

Local integrations

The surfaces that complete the timeline

WorqLog starts with the macOS app, then pulls in editor and browser context through local-only integrations. Each surface has a clear install path and a bounded data model.

Editor integration

WorqLog for VS Code

Open in VS Code Marketplace

The VS Code extension sends bounded activity metadata to the local WorqLog app, keeps reconnecting when the app is offline, and helps fold coding sessions into the same daily record as everything else you do.

Requires WorqLog macOS app running and VS Code 1.107 or newer.

Quick start

  • Install from VS Code Marketplace
  • Launch the WorqLog macOS app
  • Open any folder in VS Code
  • Confirm the status bar shows connected

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

Local operations

  • Command: WorqLog: Show Activity Log
  • Setting: worqlog.precisionMode (default: false)
  • Setting: worqlog.claudeWatchInterval (default: 5000ms)
  • Bridge socket: ~/Library/Application Support/WorqLog/bridge.sock

Browser integration

WorqLog for Browsers

Open Chrome Web Store

The browser extension covers research, docs, reviews, and investigation time that would otherwise disappear from the work log. It observes active-tab context locally and delivers it to the same WorqLog timeline on your Mac.

Chromium browsers use the Chrome Web Store path; Firefox and Safari connect through the same local app flow.

Quick start

  • Install from Chrome Web Store or your packaged Firefox/Safari surface
  • Launch the WorqLog macOS app
  • Keep the extension enabled in the browsers you use
  • Tab activity appears in the unified local timeline

Signals captured

  • Active tab URL and title metadata
  • Foreground tab focus duration
  • Cross-browser support for Chromium, Firefox, and Safari
  • Local buffering and retry when the app is temporarily offline
  • No mandatory cloud account or remote relay

Delivery model

  • Primary install surface: Chrome Web Store
  • Firefox add-on packaging available
  • Safari web extension ships in companion flow
  • Delivery target: local WorqLog macOS app only

How it works

Install WorqLog

Download and launch the macOS app. Grant Accessibility and Calendar permissions when prompted - that is the full setup.

Connect your integrations

Install the VS Code extension and the browser extension for the surfaces you actually use. Both feed the same local WorqLog timeline.

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.

Local SQLite

All data in ~/Library on your Mac

No cloud sync

Nothing ever uploaded to a server

No account

No sign-up or login required

Open protocol

Unix socket + LAN HTTP, no internet

Official install surfaces

Start with the surface you use.

Use the official install channel for each integration surface. The macOS app remains the system of record, while editor and browser add-ons plug into it locally.
