What Ziit actually does
Ziit is a self-hosted alternative to WakaTime that tracks how you spend your time writing code. It aggregates metrics on your programming activity directly from your development environment.
Best fit: Developers who want a self-hosted tool to track their programming hours and language usage without relying on proprietary cloud services.
Worth knowing: With a low maintenance health score and slowing development, you may encounter unpatched bugs or need to maintain the codebase yourself. It also faces strong competition from more established tracking solutions.
Deployment notes
As a Docker-based application, you will typically need to configure persistent volumes for data storage and place it behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
