JustClock.dev is a modern, automatic work time tracking plugin designed specifically for software developers, engineers, and freelancers. Unlike traditional tracking tools, it runs quietly in the background of your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to capture every single minute spent on client projects completely automatically. This eliminates the hassle of manual stopwatches, forgotten timers, and inaccurate end-of-month timesheets, allowing you to focus entirely on writing code.
The service is highly flexible and tailors to the specific technical needs of modern developers:
Broad Multi-IDE Support: It integrates seamlessly with over 20 environments, including the entire JetBrains family, Android Studio, Visual Studio Code, Cursor, Devin, Trae, and the full Visual Studio IDE.
Automatic Multi-Project Tracking: It automatically detects and separates your active working time per project or workspace as you switch between different tasks.
Smart Idle Detection: It features an adjustable idle timeout (5 minutes by default). This ensures that quick breaks or leaving the IDE to check documentation or UI in a browser won't instantly kill your active tracking session.
Privacy & Performance First: The plugin never reads your code, collects your files, or logs your keystrokes. It only measures active time and the project identifier. Running as a lightweight background process with a 120-second sync interval, it guarantees zero impact on your editor speed, build times, or compiler performance.
When it comes to pricing, standard professional use starts with a generous 60-day free trial with no credit card required. Furthermore, JustClock.dev strongly supports the developer community and learning. For verified high school, college, and university students, as well as educators and academic institutions, the service is completely free. This educational program grants a full annual license that can be easily renewed every year you remain enrolled or teaching.
