What Dr. Vibe Does

Activity Monitoring
Detects coding across 25+ apps like VS Code, terminals, and IDEs. Tracks momentum, file changes, and project context in real time.
Claude Code Integration
Deep hook-based integration with Claude Code. Detects hotspots, refactor sessions, bug squash cycles, and AI pair programming activity.
16 Animation States
From idle breathing to excited celebrations. Squash/stretch physics, smooth transitions, blinking, and random personality flourishes.
Wellness & Health
Hydration reminders, eye strain breaks (20-20-20 rule), posture checks, overwork prevention, and work-life boundary alerts.
Achievements & Stats
Unlockable achievements across 9 categories, personal bests, daily streak tracking, weekly summaries, and skill milestones.
