WakaTime is the only tool that shows me the ROI on AI. I can see how much code is AI-generated, right down to the file level.

WakaTime is brilliant! It tells me which models produce the most code using the least amount of tokens.

You can't optimize what you don't measure. WakaTime gives me the data to decide which AI models actually help me ship faster.

Install the plugin

  1. Search "wakatime" in the extension page, then install it.

  2. Copy your API Key. Open ~/.wakatime.cfg in your home directory, or %USERPROFILE%\.wakatime.cfg on Windows. Create the file if it does not exist, then add your key under [settings]:

    [settings]
api_key = YOUR_API_KEY

    Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from your account. If another WakaTime plugin has already configured this file, keep your existing settings and use the same key.

  3. Restart Zed, then edit and save a file. Allow a few minutes for your activity to appear on your WakaTime Dashboard.

If activity does not appear, confirm your API key is correct and check Plugin Status. For more details, run zed: open log in Zed and look for Wakatime or wakatime-ls messages.
