## What it is
Wakapi is a minimalist, self-hosted WakaTime-compatible backend for tracking and visualizing coding statistics such as time spent per project, language, editor, and OS. It is written in Go, offers a REST API, badges, weekly email reports, and Prometheus exports, and can be self-hosted or used via a hosted cloud service.

## Use cases
- self-host my own WakaTime backend
- track time spent coding per project and language
- get coding statistics dashboards and leaderboards
- add coding stats badges to my README
- export my coding time metrics to Prometheus
- replace WakaTime with a privacy-friendly self-hosted alternative
- receive weekly email reports of my coding activity

## When to choose
- you want WakaTime-compatible coding statistics without paying for or trusting the hosted WakaTime service
- you need a lightweight, fast, self-hosted time tracker for developer activity
- you want REST API access, badges, and Prometheus metrics for coding data
- GDPR-compliant data handling matters to you

## When to avoid
- you prefer a fully managed SaaS with zero setup and are fine with WakaTime's cloud
- you need full WakaTime feature parity, as compatibility is only partial
- you need non-coding time tracking (e.g., general project time management)
- you want to contribute code, since pull requests are temporarily not accepted

## Facets
