codechron
Zero-configuration Tracker
What it does
codechron runs silently in the background, watches your project for file changes, extracts Git diffs, groups activity into sessions, and generates structured Markdown daily logs — all with zero setup. Developed and maintained by Nilen Patel, a Developer. The goal of this package is to provide a minimal, reliable, and automated system for tracking development activity without disrupting the coding process, emphasizing simplicity, performance, and usability.

- DADayflow – A git log for your daySep 2025 · github.com · ▲480
Hi HN! I've been building Dayflow, a macOS app that automatically tracks what you're actually working on (not just which apps you have open). Here's what it does: - It creates a semantic timeline of your day; - It does it by understanding the content on your screen (with local or cloud VLMs); - This allows you to see exactly where your time went without any manual logging. Traditional time trackers tell you "3 hours in Chrome" which is not very helpful. Dayflow actually understands if you're reading documentation, debugging code, or scrolling HN. Instead of "Chrome: 3 hours", you get…
