DevGlobe — IDE Extensions

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

VS Code · JetBrains · Zed · NeoVim · Claude Code · Codex · OpenCode

Why DevGlobe?

DevGlobe is a free, open-source platform that lights up a marker on a 3D globe every time you code. Other developers see you in real time.

Visibility

Your GitHub, X, projects and links — visible to every developer on the globe. A showcase for what you're building.

Networking

See who's coding right now and in which language. Click a marker to discover a developer and their projects.

Motivation

Weekly leaderboard by coding time. Your streak (consecutive coding days) is visible on your profile.

Projects

Feature up to 10 projects. The most active ones appear in a carousel visible to all visitors. Link your TrustMRR to display your MRR.

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.

Supported IDEs

VS Code

Installation

Install from the VS Code Marketplace
Open the DevGlobe sidebar (globe icon in the activity bar)
Paste your API key → Connect

Features

Feature	Description
Live heartbeat	Sends your activity every 30s. Auto-pauses after 1 min of inactivity.
Language detection	Detects 48+ languages from your active editor tab.
Git integration	Detects your repo from the git remote. Commit stats (insertions/deletions) are verified server-side via the GitHub API — never sent by the extension.
Anonymous mode	Hide your exact location — your marker is placed on a random city in your country (from a database of 152,000+ cities worldwide).
Status message	Write what you're working on — visible on your globe profile.
Repo sharing	You decide. Your repo name is never shown unless you explicitly enable this toggle (disabled by default).
Offline recovery	Detects connection loss and automatically resumes when the network is back.
Status bar	Displays your coding time for today (e.g. `2h 15m`) in the VS Code status bar.

Sidebar

Two views in the side panel:

Login — masked API key field + link to get your key on devglobe.xyz
Dashboard — live coding time, active language, status message, repo sharing toggle, start/stop buttons, logout

Command

DevGlobe: Set Status Message — accessible from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)

Requirements

VS Code 1.80+ — also works with Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, and other VS Code forks

Setup

macOS / Linux:

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

Repo sharing	Ask "share my repo on devglobe" to toggle (disabled by default).

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

The Globe

On devglobe.xyz, you'll find:

A 3D globe with active developers in real time (colored markers or GitHub avatars)
Clickable profiles — active language, session time, bio, tech stack, social links
A weekly leaderboard — top developers by coding time, updated live
A featured projects carousel — most active projects, ranked by coding time + Git activity
An activity feed — who just connected, who left
Search — find a developer by name or GitHub username
Detailed stats — today's time, streak, language breakdown (30 days), per-repo activity (24h)

Account deletion — delete your account and all your data is permanently erased.

Privacy & Security

100% open source. No code is read. No sensitive data collected. Audit every line yourself.

What we send: programming language, city-level location (snapped to city center from 152k+ cities), coding time, your status message.

What you control: repo name (only shared if you enable it), anonymous mode (random city in your country).

What we NEVER touch: source code, file contents, file names, folder paths, keystrokes, commit messages, Git branches, environment variables, SSH keys. Your IP is used once for geolocation then discarded — never sent to DevGlobe.

API keys are stored in your OS keychain (VS Code SecretStorage, JetBrains PasswordSafe) or local config file (Zed, NeoVim, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode).

Network: HTTPS only (TLS 1.2+), no intermediary server, Content Security Policy on webviews, Row Level Security on the database. No telemetry.

Read the full Privacy & Security documentation →

GitHub App

DevGlobe uses a GitHub App to display verified commit statistics on featured projects. The app requests Metadata: Read-only — the most minimal permission available. It has no access to your source code, file contents, commit messages, issues, or PRs.

The app is optional — you can use DevGlobe without it. Learn more →
