Features
See your daily coding time
Each day, RescueTime will keep track of the time you spend working on software development. Note that this is not just time spent in your editor, but also time spent in related tools–other IDEs, documentation sites like Stack Overflow and GitHub, and test environments like localhost. As you log time, you will see the total in your status bar.
See your current focus level (RescueTime premium only)
In addition to your daily total, RescueTime can keep track of your current focus level. This can help you see when you are getting distracted by other activities.
Known Issues
Rescuetime Vs Toggl
Due to the way the RescueTime desktop application sends data, there can be a delay in uploading data when spending a long, uninterrupted period working on a single document. In extreme cases, this can cause the focus level to clear out until the next time you switch to a different window or application.
Release Notes

Initial release of RescueTime extension for VS Code
RescueTime is a simple program to keep track of the time you spend on your computer and even recognizes when you use a specific program and the websites you frequent.
This way, you can find out how much time you really spend on each activity and can even set goals to spend only a specific amount of time on a program or website, with a time limit for different activities.
You can view all this information via tables and graphs and even receive a weekly summary via email about how you've spent your time in the last few days.
