Summary

Chronova is a developer analytics platform that tracks coding activity through real‑time heartbeat monitoring with offline processing, providing language breakdowns, project time allocation, trend analysis, and streak tracking.

It offers full WakaTime API v1 compatibility, allowing users to swap the wakatime‑cli with chronova‑cli without changing API keys or data structure. The platform includes a goals system, team organization with role‑based access, GitHub integration for commit correlation, an Android app, and a PWA with offline support. The CLI is a drop‑in replacement for wakatime‑cli, and the API mirrors WakaTime’s endpoints.
