Wakatime Mode

Emacs Minor Mode for WakaTime

`wakatime-mode` is an automatic time tracking extension for Emacs using [WakaTime](https://wakatime.com/).

Installation

1. Install wakatime-mode for Emacs using [MELPA](https://melpa.org/#/wakatime-mode) (Doom users see [these instructions][doom install] instead).

2. Download [wakatime-cli](https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases) to `~/.wakatime/` or somewhere in your `$PATH`. (Or `brew install wakatime-cli` on Mac)

3. Add `(global-wakatime-mode)` to your `init.el` file, then restart Emacs.

4. You will see a prompt asking for the path to wakatime-cli. Run `which wakatime-cli` and enter that path into the emacs prompt, then press `enter`.

5. Enter your [api key](https://wakatime.com//api-key) in your `init.el` or `~/.wakatime.cfg` file ([config file format](https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime-cli/blob/develop/USAGE.md#ini-config-file)).

6. Use Emacs with wakatime-mode turned on and your time will be tracked for you automatically.

7. Visit http://wakatime.com to see your logged time.

Usage

Enable WakaTime for the current buffer by invoking `M-x wakatime-mode`. If you wish to activate it globally, run `M-x global-wakatime-mode`.

Configuration

Set variable `wakatime-api-key` to your [API key](https://wakatime.com/api-key).

Point `wakatime-cli-path` to the absolute path of [wakatime-cli](https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases).

Troubleshooting

To be sure heartbeats are getting sent, turn on debug mode by adding this line to your `~/.wakatime.cfg` file:

debug = true

Then run `tail -f ~/.wakatime/wakatime.log` and make sure you see a 201 response code from the [WakaTime API](https://wakatime.com/api).
