WriteLogs for Cursor
Work logs for Cursor, including the code you didn't type
Cursor writes with you. WriteLogs records what changed either way, so your daily log reflects the work rather than just the typing.
Free plan forever. Pro trial included. No credit card required.
The more the model writes, the less you remember.
Delegating to Cursor changes what a day feels like. You describe, you review, you accept, you move on. A dozen files change and none of it goes through your fingers, so none of it sticks.
By Friday the week is a blur of accepted diffs. You know it was productive. You cannot say what it produced.
WriteLogs captures changes the moment they land on disk, whether you typed them or took them from the model. The log reads the same either way.

Questions
- Does it capture changes the model made?
- Yes. WriteLogs works from what changed on disk, so an edit you accepted from Cursor is recorded the same as one you typed.
- Does it work alongside Claude Code?
- Yes. Changes from AI tools like Claude Code are captured the minute they hit disk, even before you commit.
- Is this a different extension from the VS Code one?
- It is the same extension. Cursor is a VS Code fork, so one build covers both editors.
- Do I have to remember to turn it on?
- No. There is no timer and no session to start. Install it once, paste a project key, and it runs.
