WakaTime StrawberryLog coding activity in WakaTime, without opening it
WakaTime exposes 3 operations and a companion can work all of them: log coding activity, list projects and fetch daily heartbeats. Anything that changes a record waits for your click.
Open the daily heartbeat. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the WakaTime afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what WakaTime exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 3 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can log coding activity, list projects and fetch daily heartbeats, and work across the daily heartbeats, log coding activities and projects.
The WakaTime API stops at WakaTime. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Does it read the daily heartbeats or ask you for them?
All 3 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can log coding activity, list projects and fetch daily heartbeats, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from WakaTime's documentation.
The daily heartbeats are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the log coding activities. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of WakaTime admin becomes a queue you review.
- Log Coding Activity
- List Projects
- Fetch Daily Heartbeats
Nothing writes back. So what moves the daily heartbeats?
Through the screens you already use.
WakaTime exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives WakaTime in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a daily heartbeat, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a daily heartbeat in WakaTime touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Can the daily heartbeats pass run every Monday?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the WakaTime daily heartbeats pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the engineering admin, the WakaTime daily heartbeats sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
