Welcome to Hackatime
Tracks your coding time - made by Hack Club
Hackatime is a free tool from Hack Club. It shows you how much time you spend coding. You can see what other Hack Clubbers are building too!
Why we made this: The more time you spend making things, the better you get at building cool projects!
Hackatime is totally free. Anyone can see the code. It's like WakaTime but free and open source.
