Self-hosted coding stats backend compatible with WakaTime, free and lightweight.
Core Features
- Free and open-source, full data ownership
- Multiple deployment options: Docker, source, hosted cloud
- Statistics for projects, languages, editors, OS, hosts
- Customizable badges and weekly email reports
- REST API and Prometheus export support
What It Can't Do
- •Always set WAKAPI_PASSWORD_SALT for secure password hashing. 2. SQLite data is inside the container; back up the volume before upgrading. 3. For public access, use a reverse proxy with HTTPS (e.g., Nginx). 4. Default port is 3000; ensure firewall allows it. 5. To use both Wakapi and official WakaTime, configure dual API URLs in wakatime.cfg (see docs).
Use Cases
- Individual developers who want to track coding time across projects
- Teams that need an internal, privacy-focused coding dashboard
- Users migrating from WakaTime cloud to a self-hosted solution
Wakapi is an open-source, self-hosted time tracking backend that collects coding activity from your favorite editors and IDEs (via WakaTime plugins) and provides beautiful dashboards, badges, email reports, and a REST API. It supports SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL, and can be deployed with Docker or from source. Unlike the official WakaTime cloud service, Wakapi gives you full control over your data with zero subscription fees.
