About ActivityWatch
ActivityWatch records what you do on your computer so you can see how you have spent your time. Its data is stored securely on your local machine, and you stay in control of it.
It is for people who want a time tracker that is open source, has a graphical interface and can be extended. A set of watchers collects the data, and you decide how much to collect, from a little to a lot.
Highlights
- Records the active application and its window title
- Records the active browser tab with its title and URL
- Detects keyboard and mouse activity to tell when you are away from the keyboard
- Activity and timeline views for reviewing a day of recorded events
- Built to be extended with additional watchers
