Ziit

Ziit is an open-source, self-hostable coding activity tracker that presents coding statistics in a clean, minimal dashboard. It captures editor and project activity, aggregates time spent coding, and provides public stats and leaderboards for teams or communities.

Key Features

• Tracks coding activity (projects, languages, editors, files, branches, OS and time spent) from editor integrations
• Minimal, privacy-focused dashboard with configurable time-range filtering and aggregated statistics
• Login with GitHub or email/password and optional public stats and leaderboard pages
• Import existing data from WakaTime or a WakAPI instance
• Badges for embedding coding time into READMEs and public profiles
• Supports IDE extensions (officially for VS Code and JetBrains) and exposes an API for integrations
• Built for time-series storage and performance (designed to use TimescaleDB)

Use Cases

• Individual developers tracking personal coding time, languages, and project activity
• Teams or communities publishing leaderboards and public stats to encourage healthy competition
• Projects embedding badges showing contributor or project coding time in documentation or READMEs

Limitations and Considerations

• Requires a TimescaleDB-backed database for production deployments; Postgres/TimescaleDB knowledge is needed
• Development tooling references Bun; running or building from source may require Bun and Prisma migrations
• Official IDE support is focused on VS Code and JetBrains; other editors may need community extensions or custom integration

Ziit is suitable for teams and individuals who want full control over their coding telemetry and a lightweight dashboard experience. It emphasizes privacy, simple visualizations, and easy embedding of public stats.
