🧠 Week 10 Build Log: Code Tracker AI Progress

It’s been just over a month since day one — and the plugin is still deep in development.
Every commit, test, and tweak moves it closer to something I believe developers actually need — not just another AI code assistant.

🧩 The Developer Burnout Problem: Why I Built Code Tracker AI to Protect Focus, Not Replace It

https://codetrackerai.com

💡 Developers don’t just need AI that writes code — we need AI that watches our workload.

After years of long coding sprints, late commits, and half-written notes scattered across personal journals, I realized most dev tools track what we build — not how we build it.

That’s how Code Tracker AI was born: a JetBrains plugin that doesn’t try to “replace” you with code suggestions, but rather supports your mental focus, workflow health, and intellectual property.

🧠 What It Actually Tracks

🕒 Session time & context switches — to identify when focus drops

📚 Code Books — automatic developer journals that log your progress

🧘 Brain Werks Clock — a Pomodoro-style focus timer for cognitive balance

🔒 Proof-of-Dev logs — timestamped records for IP protection and accountability

🧱 What’s Next

I’m currently integrating:

⚙️ Smart session summaries (“What you coded this hour”)

☁️ Auto-synced dev logs across JetBrains and VS Code

If you’ve ever hit flow state just to lose track of what changed or how long you’ve been grinding — this one’s for you.

💬 Let’s Talk

Would you actually use a tool that tracks your developer health instead of just your commits?
How do you personally handle burnout, balance, or focus during deep coding sessions?
