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.
