Coding Velocity

Coding Velocity is a composite metric of your coding activity that we use to automatically detect when you are in flow using machine learning. Velocity scores typically range from 1 (low velocity) to 100 (high velocity).

The primary use of coding velocity is triggering Flow Mode, a feature of our Code Time extension. Flow Mode makes it easy to eliminate distractions, mute notifications, and stay focused when you are in flow. You can quickly toggle Zen mode or enter full screen. If you connect a Slack workspace, you can pause notifications, update your profile status, and set your presence to away. You can configure Flow Mode by clicking the gear icon in the Code Time sidebar.
