How these alternatives were chosen
Tools WakaTime names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Analytics. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
WakaTime also lists GitHub Copilot analytics, Cursor built-in metrics, Custom logging solutions, General developer analytics tools as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
