Visual Theme Generator
Tired of manually configuring command-line flags? Use the Interactive TakaTime Generator to visually customize your stats card, preview themes in real-time, and instantly copy the exact Markdown snippet you need for your GitHub Profile.
Interactive Terminal Dashboard
TakaTime includes a fully interactive, offline-first terminal dashboard directly inside your editor. View your coding stats, language breakdowns, and project times without ever leaving your workflow or opening a browser.
Features
- Non-Blocking Architecture: Engineered in Go with asynchronous concurrency. Data synchronization occurs entirely in the background, ensuring zero latency impact on your editor's performance.
- Bring Your Own Database (BYODB): Data is persisted exclusively to your personal MongoDB instance. This ensures complete data ownership with no third-party tracking or subscription fees.
- Granular Telemetry: Intelligently tracks and categorizes development activity by project, programming language, and file type without requiring manual configuration.
- GitHub Profile Integration: Automatically generate high-resolution statistical charts for your GitHub Profile README via GitHub Actions.
Themes
TakaTime includes 18 built-in color themes. Browse the full visual gallery — including Terminal Dashboard and Web Generator previews for each theme — in THEMES.md.
Editor Compatibility
