npm version

Track what you actually ship with AI.

Vibetime wraps Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini and prints a session summary every time you're done. No config, no account, no daemon.

vibe status

Install

npm install -g vibetime-cli

Setup

vibe init
source ~/.zshrc   # or ~/.bashrc — or restart your terminal

Adds shell hooks that wrap claude, codex, and gemini. The tools work exactly the same — Vibetime tracks your git state while you code and prints the endcard when you're done.

Fish shellvibe init writes bash/zsh syntax. Fish users should add hooks manually to ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

function claude; vibe __wrap claude $argv; end

What you get

Every time you close a Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini session:

╭─────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│  ◆ vibe  ·  api  ·  2h 14m                  │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│                                             │
│  3 commits  ·  +847 −231  ·  12 files       │
│                                             │
│  ████████░░  shipped  ✦                     │
│                                             │
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────╯

Sessions are scored by what happened in git:

tier bar meaning
shipped ████████░░ commits + meaningful changes
progressed ██████░░░░ commits, small changes
tinkering ████░░░░░░ changes but no commits
exploring ██░░░░░░░░ a few lines touched
idle ░░░░░░░░░░ nothing changed
interrupted ░░░░░░░░░░ session killed or crashed

How duration works — Vibetime polls your git state every 30 seconds. If no file changes, commits, or staging activity are detected for 30 minutes, the idle time is excluded from your session duration. Laptop sleep and background idle are automatically handled. Non-git projects use wall-clock time.

Share your week

Run vibe share to print your weekly card. Press h to open the HTML version — copy it, screenshot it, post it.

Streaks track consecutive days you shipped. If you shipped yesterday but not yet today, your streak shows ⏳ — you still have time.

Adding more tools

Vibetime wraps any AI CLI. To track a tool not listed above:

vibe config add-tool aider

Commands

vibe status                  today's sessions (includes active sessions)
vibe log                     last 20 sessions
vibe share                   weekly summary card
vibe share --html            shareable HTML card
vibe config show             current settings
vibe config set handle <name> set your @handle (shown on share cards)
vibe config add-tool <name>  track a new AI CLI tool
vibe uninstall               remove shell hooks

Sessions belong to the day they started — a session that runs past midnight appears under the previous day.

Uninstall

vibe uninstall
npm uninstall -g vibetime-cli

vibe uninstall removes all shell hooks from your rc file. Your session data in ~/.vibe/ is preserved — delete it manually if you want a clean removal.

Privacy

Vibetime has no telemetry, no network calls, and no account. Everything stays on your machine.

It reads git metadata only — commit counts, line counts, file counts. It never reads file contents, environment variables, API keys, or anything you type into the wrapped tool. The AI CLI's stdin/stdout are passed straight through via spawn with stdio: 'inherit'.

All data is stored locally in ~/.vibe/.
