I built this to measure how much time I lose switching between coding projects.

It scans git repos, detects when you switch projects (different repo + >30min gap), and estimates the cost (20 min per switch to get back in flow).

Ran it on 15 days of my commits: 15 switches, ~5 hours lost. I'm pretty focused, but wanted to see if others struggle more with this.

Currently a Python CLI tool with --today, --week, --month, --days options.

Curious to hear if this resonates or if I'm measuring the wrong thing.
