Extensions-Activity

Extensions-Activity helps you understand how you actually use third-party community extensions. It records local usage over time and shows everything in one clear overview — so you can see which plugins you rely on, which ones you rarely touch, and which ones might be worth disabling.

All data stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

What it does

• Tracks third-party plugin usage locally — See how often you run commands, open plugin views, and interact with supported plugins.
• Shows a full overview in one place — Browse all installed third-party plugins with search, sorting, and summary stats.
• Highlights recent activity — Check last used time and 7-day totals for each plugin.
• Keeps a daily history — Usage is grouped by day, with older data cleaned up automatically based on your preference.
• Lists plugin details — View plugin name, version, author, and whether it is currently enabled.
• Explains untrackable plugins — Some passive plugins cannot be measured reliably; the overview tells you when that happens.
• Respects your privacy — Statistics are stored only inside your vault.
