Momentum + GitHub
Bring GitHub activity alongside focus data so you can see the conditions that produce shipped work — and protect them.
What you can do
How Momentum reads code & development time
GitHub time is captured by the desktop agent like any other app — here's how it flows into classification, scores, and dashboards.
Where GitHub should land in your app rules
GitHub — desktop client or browser — is Productive by default for engineering departments, alongside IDEs and terminals. Non-engineering departments that touch a repo occasionally usually stay Unmarked so a rare visit doesn't skew their score.
GitHub + Momentum, answered
Does Momentum see the code or content of commits?+
No. The agent classifies GitHub as an active window like any other app — it doesn't read repository contents, diffs, or commit messages.
Does this replace GitHub's own analytics?+
No. Momentum measures the focus conditions around engineering work — deep work, meeting load, context switching — it doesn't replace GitHub Insights or a delivery-metrics tool; the two are meant to be read together.
Are local IDEs and terminals tracked the same way as GitHub in the browser?+
Yes. App Usage captures offline applications too, so a terminal-heavy day scores like the real engineering work it is, not as idle time.
