"Time is what we want most, but what we use worst."

TakaTime is a blazingly fast, privacy-focused coding time tracker for Neovim.

It works just like WakaTime, but with one major difference: You own your data. Instead of sending your coding activity to a third-party server, TakaTime stores everything in your own MongoDB database.

📖 Table of Contents

✨ Features

  • 🚀 Zero Latency: Written in Go. Uploads happen asynchronously in the background so it never blocks your typing.
  • 🔒 Privacy First: Data is stored in your personal MongoDB (Free Tier on Atlas). No subscriptions, no tracking.
  • 📦 Auto-Install: automatically downloads the correct binary for your OS (Linux/Mac) on first run.
  • 📊 GitHub Profile Stats: Includes a CLI tool to generate beautiful charts for your GitHub Profile README.
  • 📂 Smart Tracking: Tracks Projects, Languages, and Files automatically.

🏗️ How it Works

📦 Installation

Using VS Code

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a3c492d8-898c-497a-bc0c-c2f8ebc5d03b

Using lazy.nvim

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/edf09531-ed66-4709-9b78-5edc90843510

Add this to your plugin configuration:

return {
  "Rtarun3606k/TakaTime",
  lazy = false,
  config = function()
    -- Optional: Enable debug mode if you run into issues
    require("taka-time").setup({
        debug = false
    })
  end,
}

Setup Guide

Step 1: Get a Database

You need a MongoDB connection string. You have two free options:

  • add all ip access (only if you keeping changing wifi)
  • Cloud (Recommended): Create a free account on MongoDB Atlas. Create a free cluster and get your connection string (e.g., mongodb+srv://user:pass@cluster...).
  • Local (Docker): Run docker run -d -p 27017:27017 mongo.

Step 2: Initialize the Plugin

Open Neovim.

Run the setup command: Vim Script

:TakaInit

Paste your MongoDB Connection String when prompted. (This is saved securely in your local data folder, ~/.local/share/nvim/taka_data.json).

Step 3: Verify

Run the status command to check if everything is working: Vim Script

:TakaStatus

If it says "✅ TakaTime is configured and running," you are good to go!

📊 How to Add Stats to Your GitHub Profile

TakaTime comes with a report generator that works with GitHub Actions to update your Profile README automatically.

  1. Prepare your Profile Repo

    Go to your GitHub Profile Repository (the one named username/username).

    Go to Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions.

    Add a New Repository Secret named MONGO_URI with your connection string.

    (Optional) Add GIST_TOKEN if you plan to use Gists (not required for direct README updates).

  2. Add the Markers

  • Add start and end markers to your README.md

  1. Create the Workflow

Create a file in your repo at .github/workflows/update-stats.yml and paste this content:


name: Update TakaTime Stats

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *" # Runs every midnight UTC
  workflow_dispatch:      # Allows manual trigger

jobs:
  update-readme:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write # Needed to download releases

    steps:
      - name: Download Taka-Report Binary
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
        run: |
          # Downloads the latest stable binary
          gh release download --repo Rtarun3606k/TakaTime --pattern "taka-report-linux-amd64" --output taka-report
          chmod +x taka-report

      - name: Generate Report & Update Profile
        env:
          MONGO_URI: ${{ secrets.MONGO_URI }}
          GIST_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
          TARGET_REPO: ${{ github.repository }}
        run: ./taka-report -days=7

Note: This workflow downloads the taka-report tool and runs it against your database to generate stats.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

"TakaTime is not configured"

Run :TakaInit again and ensure your URI is correct.

Check if the secret file exists: ~/.local/share/nvim/taka_data.json.

Upload Failed / Syncing Forever

Enable debug mode in your config:


   require("taka-time").setup({ debug = true })

Run :messages in Neovim to see the logs.

Ensure your IP address is whitelisted in MongoDB Atlas.
