Get in the zone faster

Music Time shows you your top songs, artists, and genres you listen to while you code. Music Time is built on our Code Time plugin, so you will be able to see the underlying data—such as your keystrokes, time by file and project, and lines of code—used to calculate your productivity scores for your music. Code Time is disabled by default, but you can enable Code Time in your account settings.

We currently support Spotify. We may support other players in a future release.

You must be signed into your Spotify account to control the Spotify music player and view your playlists embedded in your editor.

Productivity score is calculated by combining data from coding metrics when a song is played and historical metrics about productivity from over 50,000 developers, including language and complexity factors.

We do not process, send, or store your proprietary code. We only provide metrics about programming, and we make it easy to see the data we collect.

The Software Top 40 consists of the top 40 most productive songs for all Music Time users. It is updated each week.

Songs are recommended using machine learning and data, including a number of different metrics, such as productivity score, plays, hearts (favorites), tempo, loudness, speechiness, energy, and valence.

Music Time tracks coding metrics, such as keystroke adds and deletes, for the listening duration of each song.

Coding metrics are calculated for the playing period of each song, and then all plays are combined for individuals and collections of users. We take the raw data and run a calculation to determine the productivity score for each song. Songs are then ranked by productivity score.
