How to Track Time in Cursor

Let's set up Cursor (the AI code editor) to count how much time you spend coding!

Step 1: Make a Hackatime Account

Go to Hackatime and make an account. Then log in.

Step 2: Get Your Settings Ready

Click this link to the setup page. It will set up your account so it works with Cursor.

Step 3: Add the Plugin to Cursor

1. Open Cursor
2. Click the squares icon on the left (Extensions)
3. Type "WakaTime" in the search box
4. Click the Install button next to WakaTime
5. Cursor might ask you to restart - click Reload if it does

That's it! The plugin will use your settings from Step 2.

If Something Goes Wrong

Can't see your time? Go back to the setup page and try again.

Plugin not working? Close Cursor and open it again.

Still having trouble? Ask for help in Hack Club Slack - look for the #hackatime-dev channel.
