+## Track IDE sessions
+
+For GUI-first tools like Cursor, start and stop an IDE session manually:
+
+```
+vibe ide start cursor
+# code in Cursor
+vibe ide stop cursor
+```
+
+IDE sessions use the same git stats and scoring as wrapped CLI sessions, so they appear in `vibe status`, `vibe log`, `vibe share`, and the opt-in leaderboard. If you use another editor, pass its name instead:
+
+```
+vibe ide start code
+vibe ide stop code
+```
+
 ## What you get
