Wakapi

Wakapi is a minimalist backend for collecting and visualizing coding activity, compatible with the WakaTime client ecosystem. It helps individuals or teams track time spent across projects, languages, editors, machines, and operating systems.

Key Features

• WakaTime-compatible API to ingest editor “heartbeats”
• Dashboards with statistics for projects, languages, editors, hosts, and operating systems
• Public leaderboards (configurable scope and access restrictions)
• Shareable badges for profiles and repositories
• Weekly email reports
• REST API for integrating and exporting data
• Prometheus-compatible metrics export
• Multiple database options (SQLite by default, with support for MySQL and PostgreSQL)

Use Cases

• Personal developer productivity tracking without relying on third-party SaaS
• Team-wide coding activity dashboards and friendly competitions via leaderboards
• Feeding coding-time metrics into monitoring/analytics stacks via API or Prometheus

Limitations and Considerations

• Data collection depends on WakaTime-compatible editor plugins and correct client configuration
• WakaTime compatibility is partial, so not every upstream feature or endpoint may be supported

Wakapi provides a lightweight, fast way to own your coding-time statistics while remaining compatible with widely used WakaTime tooling. It’s well-suited for privacy-conscious users who want dashboards, reports, and automation-friendly exports.
