I’d recommend taking a look at [WakaTime](https://wakatime.com/). Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct Beeminder integration yet, though they have a good API. Here’s a bit of code that might help you get started scripting a connection if you decide on that route: > [@Wakatime integration](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/wakatime-integration/3429/14): > > For a while I used some custom python to connect wakatime with beeminder, feel free to take whatever you like: Wakatime wrapper: import requests import datetime class WakaTime: \_key = "[your api key here]" def get\_projects(self): date\_string = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d") base = "https://wakatime.com/api/v1/users/current/" endpoint = f"{base}summaries?start={date\_string}&end={date\_string}&api\_key={self.\_key}" response = requests.get(en… ---

You could use also use Rescuetime and beemind “active minutes in Atom or Pycharm”. There’s an integration built in for that. ---

I think the free version of RescueTime should be able to do this, but I’m not 100% sure on that.
