Timesheet Telemetry

How It Works

Every time you run cc switch, CC logs the event with a timestamp. From these logs, it computes how long you spent on each project.

No manual input. No timers to start and stop. Just switch projects naturally and CC tracks it.

  Total: 6h 30m

The ⚑ flag marks sessions where you were on a project for longer than your configured threshold (default: 60 minutes). This is a nudge — it doesn't mean the time is wrong, just that you may want to review it before submitting a timesheet.

Punching Out

When you stop coding for the day (or take a long break), punch out so CC doesn't count idle time:

cc time --stop

This creates a stop entry. The last project's session ends at the punch-out time.

Specific Date

cc time -d 2026-03-25

Clearing Flags

Once you've reviewed flagged sessions:

cc time --clear-flags

Configuration

Setting	Default	Description
`timesheet_flag_threshold`	`60`	Minutes before a session is flagged
`timesheet_flag_prompt`	`true`	Prompt to review when a flagged session is detected on switch

Configure via cc config (interactive picker) or in the web /settings page.

The Flag Prompt

If timesheet_flag_prompt is enabled, switching away from a project after a long session shows a quick inline summary and asks if you want to continue:
