# DevGlobe An open-source coding activity tracker and developer directory with a real-time globe. - Findings24: - Website: - Pricing: Freemium - Categories: Developer Tools ## What is DevGlobe? DevGlobe is an open-source coding activity tracker and developer directory. Its IDE extensions send coding activity to a dashboard, where users can review time, languages, projects, habits, streaks, goals, and badges. Developers can also choose whether to appear on a real-time globe and publish a profile featuring projects and social links. The product is designed to make coding activity visible without collecting source code; users can control which activity details are shared. ## What can DevGlobe do? ### IDE activity tracking Extensions send batches of activity metadata every 30 seconds while coding is active, including detected language, editor and platform, and optional repository, branch, and relative file path details. ### Coding statistics dashboard Review coding time across days, languages, editors, and projects, along with activity patterns, streaks, goals, badges, and repository summaries. ### Three globe visibility modes Choose public mode to appear near your real city, anonymous mode to appear in a consistent random city in your country, or private mode to hide your marker while retaining stats, badges, and goals. ### Per-field privacy controls Local configuration switches can prevent file names, branch names, and project names from leaving the machine. Sharing a repository on the live globe is separately controlled in dashboard settings. ### Public developer profiles and directory Profiles can present GitHub, X, LinkedIn, projects, location, and selected developer details, and can be discovered through the developer directory. ### Open-source extensions IDE extensions are MIT-licensed and published on GitHub for inspection, including the heartbeat payload and repository detection logic. ## Use Cases ### Review personal coding habits Use the dashboard's timelines, language breakdowns, streaks, and project summaries to understand where coding time goes and track progress toward goals. ### Share activity with chosen privacy Developers who want a public presence can use public or anonymous globe mode, while those who prefer not to show a location can use private mode and keep dashboard stats. ### Present projects to other developers Build a discoverable profile with project and social links, then browse the directory to find developers and work from around the world. ### Add tracking to an existing WakaTime setup Users already tracking activity with WakaTime-compatible tooling can connect it through DevGlobe's WakaTime setup flow. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Does DevGlobe read or transmit source code? No. The extension does not read or send source code, file contents, keystrokes, commit messages, diffs, environment variables, SSH keys, or credentials. ### What activity information is sent? While coding is active, the extension sends a small HTTPS batch with activity metadata such as language, editor and platform, and potentially relative file path, repository origin, and branch. Local settings can disable sending file, branch, or project names. ### Can I use DevGlobe without showing my location? Yes. Anonymous mode places the marker in a random city in your country, while private mode removes the marker. Private mode keeps stats, badges, and goals available. ### Which editors can I connect? The site lists extensions for VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio, Zed, Neovim, and other editors, and also describes a WakaTime-compatible setup. ## Quick Facts - **Category**: Developer tool; coding activity tracker - **Availability**: Free and open source - **Supported workflow**: IDE extensions and WakaTime-compatible setup - **Privacy controls**: Public, anonymous, and private globe modes; local metadata switches - **Source code**: MIT-licensed IDE extensions on GitHub
