What Wakapi actually does
Wakapi is a self-hosted time-tracking utility designed to collect and aggregate coding statistics from your code editor. It functions as a drop-in replacement for the proprietary WakaTime service, receiving telemetry data and generating productivity metrics. The application is written in Go and distributed under the GPL-3.0 licence.
Best fit: Developers who want to maintain ownership of their programming metrics and prefer using open-source tools compatible with existing WakaTime editor plugins.
Worth knowing: You will need to configure your editor plugins to point to your private instance rather than the default endpoint, and manage your own data retention policies.
Deployment notes
As a containerised Go application, it typically requires persistent storage for the database and a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
