Privacy Policy

Data storage

All data collected by Waqt is stored exclusively in VS Code's GlobalState API on your local machine. No data is transmitted to any server, third-party service, or external system.

What is tracked

Waqt records time spent in each of the following categories for each file you edit:

• — Time spent actively typing
• — Time attributed to AI extension activity
• — Time attributed to large paste events
• — Time spent in debug sessions
• — Keystroke counts

File paths are stored locally to provide per-file and per-project breakdowns. No file content is ever read or stored.

Terminal monitoring

Waqt can optionally detect AI CLI tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, etc.) running in your integrated terminal. This feature is disabled by default and requires explicit opt-in on first prompt. When enabled, Waqt only inspects terminal command strings for pattern matches against known AI tool names. Command output and arguments beyond the tool name are not read or stored. You can revoke consent at any time by setting waqt.cliTrackingConsent to "denied" in settings.

Telemetry

Waqt collects no telemetry, crash reports, or usage analytics of any kind.

Data deletion

Run the command Waqt: Reset All Statistics from the Command Palette to permanently delete all stored data. Uninstalling the extension also removes all associated GlobalState data.
