Coding Time Tracker for Steam is a program that tracks the time spent programming in popular IDEs like Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, and others. It automatically records the time and displays it as activity for the game Kode Studio on your Steam profile. The program launches Kode Studio when you start your IDE and closes it when you finish, hiding the game window to avoid distractions. With this program, you can easily track the time spent programming and share it with your friends.
- Automatic time tracking: The program records your time spent working in various IDEs and automatically transfers it to Kode Studio.

- Automatic closing of Kode Studio: Once you close the IDE or code editor, Kode Studio automatically shuts down, and the program returns to standby mode.
