Retrace
A visual timeline of your coding workflow in VS Code
Retrace helps you remember what you were doing in a codebase. It automatically records your coding activity locally and turns it into a visual timeline, so you can look back at previous context and jump back into your work. No account, no manual logging, and no cloud history.
Hey everyone 👋
I built Retrace after repeatedly losing track of what I was doing while working on larger codebases.
I'd jump between files, branches and debugging sessions, come back later, and have that annoying feeling of “wait… what was I doing here?”
So I tried building something that simply remembers the workflow for me.
Retrace currently keeps that history local and turns it into a visual timeline that I can use to retrace my steps and jump back into previous context.
It's still early, so I'm mainly here for feedback.
Does this solve a problem you've actually experienced, or am I solving something nobody really cares about?
I'd genuinely like to know what you'd change.
