What is Ziit?

Ziit (pronounced 'tseet') is an open-source, self-hostable alternative to WakaTime. It provides a clean, minimal, and fast dashboard for displaying coding statistics, while ensuring privacy by keeping all data on your own server. Ziit tracks coding activity such as projects, languages, editors, files, branches, operating systems, and time spent coding all presented in a familiar interface inspired by Plausible Analytics.

Features

• Time tracking directly from VS Code to your Ziit instance of choice.
• Filtering using different time ranges.
• Clean & Minimal dashboard showing only the information needed.
• Login with GitHub or Email and Password.
• Import Data from Wakatime or a WakAPI Instance.
• Saves data about your current project, OS, editor, file, language and git branch.
• Badges to embed coding time for a project into a README.
• Public stats page to see information from the whole Ziit instance.
• Public leaderboard to see who has the most coding hours.
• More to come...
