LevelUp has an active past and an even more active future. See the major milestones as the extension evolves here.

  1. v2.0.0

    Leaderboards, new Vault concept, Activity Tracker & Cortex.

    Online features & leaderboards

    Who would have thought it would take more than a year between the first line of code and the leaderboards finally going live? Not me. But here they are!

    • Daily & weekly leaderboards
    • Friends and private leaderboards
    The LevelUp Vault tooltip in VS Code: vault level 11 and its progress, capacity, an FP breakdown by coding, review and focus time, the total FP and a capacity growth roll — ending in "Click to claim your rewards"

    Vault rework

    The Vault is now ready for the modern workflow of dev & AI.

    • "Coding" merges Lines of Code and Keystrokes into one source
    • New "Review" source pays for time spent reading and understanding code, on top of Focus Time
    The LevelUp Activity Tracker in VS Code moving through its states while coding — the activity score climbs and with it the multiplier on every Focus Point earned

    Activity Tracker

    With new idle detection capabilities, the Activity Tracker now includes four new states, so every single piece of work is truly recognized.

    • New idle detection system
    • New states for activity away from the editor
    • Hover the active slice in the dashboard chart for a per-state breakdown
    A full walkthrough of Cortex, the LevelUp task workspace in VS Code: todos with estimations and timers, markdown and the slash menu, code linking, notes, Epics for bigger tasks, and jumping between workspaces

    Workspace todos become Cortex

    Workspace todos get a new fitting name, Cortex. Tasks, Notes & Code.

    • A new saving system that makes working with AI agents token-efficient
    • You can now create Epics
    • Todo timers now pause automatically when you go idle and resume once you are back

    Sound

    That came with its own set of challenges, but LevelUp finally supports instant sounds.

    • New claim & level-up sounds
  2. v1.2.0

    FP Charts & Data Analytics, visualize your coding flow.

    Focus Points charts

    FP Charts

    Gain insights into when you are most productive and when you are at your peak.

    • Dynamic FP chart page with 1D, 1W, 1M, 1Y and All views
    • 15-minute granularity for finer time analysis
    • Multi-instance support across parallel VS Code sessions
  3. v1.1.5

    The community asked for more visual reward, so we shipped it.

    The LevelUp milestone modal in VS Code, confetti raining down either side: "Congratulations! 879 hours in, 290 days past. You reached Level 50", below it 16139 lines of code and 722995 Focus Points earned, a Churchill quote, and the buttons Continue, Share Your Progress and Write a Review

    Level-up gratification

    Some wished for bigger moments when leveling up. So we came together and worked something out.

    • Level-up gratification modules every fifth level up to level 50
    • Level-up animation on the XP statusbar item
    • Improved first-time onboarding flow
    • Simplified tooltips for Vault and Activity Tracker, opt-in for less visual noise
  4. v1.1.0

    Introducing Workspace Todos, task management built into the editor.

    Workspace Todos sidebar with code

    NEW Workspace Todos

    A complete task system that lives next to your code. Open it with Ctrl + T.

    • Task timer & estimation
    • Rich markdown notes for detailed documentation
    • Drag & drop, context menu, organization types (Active, Backlog, Completed, Last 7 Days, Older)
    • Code linking, connect tasks directly to lines of code
    • Date tracking

    Stability

    • Daily reset mechanism for continuous VS Code instances
    • Multi-instance support, LevelUp now runs across multiple VS Code windows
  5. v1.0.0

    The v1 launch, complete rework, polish, and reward overhaul.

    The LevelUp dashboard: coding level in a glowing ring at the centre, framed by the rewards log, daily statistics, the Focus Points chart, the activity monitor, goal vault and vault system — with the daily FP goal and the Activity Pulse along the bottom

    Webview UI rework

    The first polished version of LevelUp. Well, that took some time. But the result was definitely worth it.

    • FP History widget with chart comparing performance to yesterday
    • Daily Goal with active claim & streak bonus
    • Animated UI components throughout & value comparisons

    Reward system

    • Quality-based LOC reward system, code structure determines FP multipliers (0.05x–1.2x), making spam unprofitable and quality work more valuable
    • Better spam detection for Focus Time and LOC
    • FP through Focus Time now scales exponentially with activity, rewarding flow states more
  6. v0.9.33

    Where it all began, the first beta release.

    LevelUp beta dashboard

    Beta launch

    The very first public version of LevelUp, gamification for VS Code, shipped raw and rough. Far from polished, but working pretty fine.

    • Initial dashboard with XP, levels and FP tracking
    • Activity tracker watching your coding flow
    • Vault system with daily claims
    • Statusbar integration with live FP feedback
