DevGlobe — Extensions

Show up on a 3D globe in real time while you code.
Official extensions for devglobe.xyz

Why DevGlobe?

DevGlobe is a free, open-source platform for developer metrics, insights and time tracking — automatically generated from your coding activity. Every developer lights up a live marker on a worldwide 3D globe while coding, and gets a public profile that showcases their stats, projects and links.

Visibility	Networking	Motivation	Projects
Your own public profile with your GitHub, X, projects and links. A shareable page that shows what you're building.	See who's coding right now and in which language. Click a marker to open a developer's profile and projects.	Track your coding time, streaks and badges. Your stats keep you coming back.	Publish your projects with tech stack and teammates. Get discovered, upvoted and discussed by the community.

Quick Start

1. Sign in on devglobe.xyz with GitHub, X (Twitter), or Google
2. Copy your API key from the profile settings
3. Install the extension in your IDE and paste the key

That's it — your marker appears on the globe.

The extension sends a heartbeat every 30 seconds while you code. Stop typing for 1 minute and heartbeats pause. After 10 minutes of inactivity, you disappear from the globe.

For VS Code, JetBrains, and Claude Code, visibility settings (anonymous mode, repo sharing, profile mode) are managed on devglobe.xyz/dashboard/settings. Other extensions still expose local toggles — see their sections below.

Zed

Pending review for the Zed marketplace (PR #5237). Install manually as a dev extension for now.

Installation

Option A — Standalone repo (no build required):

git clone https://github.com/CaadriFR/zed-devglobe.git

In Zed: Cmd+Shift+P → "zed: install dev extension" → select the zed-devglobe/ folder.

Option B — From this repo (requires build):

cd devglobe-core && npm install && npm run build
cd ../zed-extension/server && npm install && npm run build

In Zed: Cmd+Shift+P → "zed: install dev extension" → select the zed-extension/ folder.

Setup

macOS / Linux:

mkdir -p ~/.devglobe
echo -n "devglobe_YOUR_KEY_HERE" > ~/.devglobe/api_key
echo '{"shareRepo": false, "anonymousMode": true}' > ~/.devglobe/config.json

Windows (PowerShell):

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.devglobe"
"devglobe_YOUR_KEY_HERE" | Out-File -NoNewline "$env:USERPROFILE\.devglobe\api_key"
'{"shareRepo": false, "anonymousMode": true}' | Out-File "$env:USERPROFILE\.devglobe\config.json"

Open a project in Zed, trust the worktree when prompted, and start coding. You'll appear on the globe within 30 seconds.

Requirements

Node.js 18+
Zed editor

NeoVim

Installation

lazy.nvim:

{
  "Nako0/devglobe-extension",
  event = "BufEnter",
  build = "cd devglobe-core && npm install && npm run build",
  config = function()
    vim.opt.rtp:append(vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/devglobe-extension/neovim-plugin")
    vim.cmd("runtime plugin/devglobe.lua")
    require("devglobe").setup()
  end,
}

devglobe-core is built automatically on install. Requires Node.js 18+.

Setup

:DevGlobe setup devglobe_YOUR_KEY_HERE

Or create ~/.devglobe/api_key manually (same as Zed / Claude Code).

Commands

Command	Description
`:DevGlobe setup KEY`	Configure your API key
`:DevGlobe status MSG`	Set your status message
`:DevGlobe anonymous`	Toggle anonymous mode
`:DevGlobe share-repo`	Toggle repo sharing
`:DevGlobe today`	Show your coding time today
`:DevGlobe open`	Open devglobe.xyz

Requirements

NeoVim 0.9+
Node.js 18+

Claude Code

Installation

In Claude Code, run:

/plugin marketplace add Nako0/devglobe-extension

/plugin install devglobe@devglobe

After installing, restart Claude Code (/exit, then reopen) so the plugin and its commands are loaded.

Setup

/devglobe:setup YOUR_API_KEY

Get your API key at devglobe.xyz — sign in, then open your profile settings.

Commands

Command	Description
`/devglobe:setup YOUR_API_KEY`	Configure the plugin with your API key
`/devglobe:status MESSAGE`	Set a status message on your DevGlobe profile

Codex

Installation

In Codex, run:

$skill-installer --repo Nako0/devglobe-extension --path codex-plugin

After installing, restart Codex so the skill and its hooks are loaded.

Setup

$devglobe setup YOUR_API_KEY

Get your API key at devglobe.xyz — sign in, then open your profile settings.

This saves your key, installs heartbeat hooks, and enables the codex_hooks feature flag.

Commands

Command	Description
`$devglobe setup YOUR_API_KEY`	Configure the skill with your API key and install hooks
`$devglobe anonymous true/false`	Enable or disable anonymous mode
`$devglobe share-repo true/false`	Enable or disable repo sharing
`$devglobe status MESSAGE`	Set a status message on your DevGlobe profile
`$devglobe check`	Verify the installation
`$devglobe uninstall`	Remove DevGlobe hooks from Codex

Requirements

Codex CLI
Node.js 18+

OpenCode

Installation

Add the plugin to your opencode.json:

{
  "plugin": ["opencode-devglobe"]
}

OpenCode installs it automatically on startup via npm.

Setup

Restart OpenCode and ask:

setup devglobe with my key YOUR_API_KEY

Get your API key at devglobe.xyz — sign in, then open your profile settings.

Commands

Just ask in natural language — the plugin registers tools that the AI agent calls on your behalf:

What you say	Tool	Description
"setup devglobe with key X"	`devglobe_setup`	Configure API key and create settings
"enable anonymous mode"	`devglobe_anonymous`	Toggle anonymous mode
"share my repo on devglobe"	`devglobe_share_repo`	Toggle repo sharing
"set my devglobe status to X"	`devglobe_status`	Set a status message on the globe
"check devglobe"	`devglobe_check`	Verify installation

Requirements

OpenCode

Privacy

100% open source. We never read your code.

What the extension sends to DevGlobe:

Programming language detected by the IDE
Editor + operating system name
Coding time (per heartbeat, every 30 s)
Origin remote URL of your current git repo (when present)
Branch name (when present)
File path relative to your repo root — never the absolute home path
Status message (only what you set explicitly)

What the extension never sends:

Source code, file contents, keystrokes
Files outside any git repository (no path leaks for scratch files / local folders)
Commit messages, environment variables, SSH keys

Local privacy flags — edit ~/.devglobe/config.toml:

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

[privacy]
hide_file_names = false       # omit the file field
hide_branch_names = false     # omit the branch field
hide_project_names = false    # omit repo + branch (project-level hiding implies branch hiding)

Globe visibility (anonymous mode, repo sharing on the live globe, profile mode) is managed on devglobe.xyz/dashboard/settings — not in the extension.

API keys are stored in your OS keychain (VS Code SecretStorage, JetBrains PasswordSafe) or in a local config file under ~/.devglobe/ (Zed, NeoVim, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode). Config files are created with 0600 permissions.

Network: HTTPS only (TLS 1.2+), no telemetry, no third-party trackers.
