About

The goal of ActivityWatch is simple: Enable the collection of as much valuable lifedata as possible without compromising user privacy.

We've worked towards this goal by creating a application for safe storage of the data on the users local machine and as well as a set of watchers which record data such as:

Currently active application and the title of its window
Currently active browser tab and it's title and URL
Keyboard and mouse activity, to detect if you are AFK ("away from keyboard") or not

It is up to you as user to collect as much as you want, or as little as you want (and we hope some of you will help write watchers so we can collect more).

Screenshots

Installation & Usage

Downloads are available on our releases page.

For instructions on how to get started, please see our guide in the documentation.

Interested in building from source? There's a guide for that too.

Is this yet another time tracker?

Yes, but we found that most time trackers lack in one or more important features.

Common dealbreakers:

Not open source
The user does not own the data (common with non-open source options)
Lack of synchronization (and when available: it's centralized and the sync server knows everything)
Difficult to setup/use (most open source options tend to target programmers)
Low data resolution (low level of detail, does not store raw data, long intervals between entries)
Hard or impossible to extend (collecting more data is not as simple as it could be)

To sum it up:

Closed source solutions suffer from privacy issues and limited features.
Open source solutions aren't developed with end-users in mind and are usually not written to be easily extended (they lack a proper API). They also lack synchronization.

We have a plan to address all of these and we're well on our way. See the table below for our progress.

About this repository

This repo is a bundle of the core components and official modules of ActivityWatch (managed with git submodule). It's primary use is as a meta-package providing all the components in one repo; enabling easier packaging and installation. It is also where releases of the full suite are published (see releases).

Server

aw-server is the official implementation of the core service which the other ActivityWatch services interact with. It provides a REST API to a datastore and query engine. It also serves the web interface developed in the aw-webui project (which provides the frontend part of the webapp).

The REST API includes:

Access to a datastore suitable for timeseries/timeperiod-data
A query engine and language for such data

The webapp includes:

Data visualization & browser
Query explorer
Export functionality

Watchers

ActivityWatch comes pre-installed with two watchers, aw-watcher-afk which logs the presence/absence of user activity from keyboard and mouse input and aw-watcher-window which logs the currently active application and it's window title.

There are lots of other watchers for ActivityWatch which can track more types of activity such as aw-watcher-web which tracks time spent on websites, multiple editor watchers which tracks spent time coding and many more! A full list of watchers can be found in our documentation here.

Libraries

aw-core - core library, provides no runnable modules
aw-client - client library, useful when writing watchers

Make build error in MacOs

I am following the instructions of installing from source in MacOs and when i run make build got this error:

macOS - Continual "Control System Events" Message
Describe the bug

Just installed the new version (9) on Mojave for the first time. After the app opens ActivityWatch continues to spam me with messages to control "System Events" even after I have given the app permission under Security & Privacy > Automation as well as Security & Privacy > Accessibility`. This also causes a noticeable lag/slowness for the operating system as a whole.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open the app on macOS

Expected behavior

I should only need to grant the app permission once and the app should not cause my computer to stutter.

Incorrect time usage collection

My machine has been running for the past 14 hours (~13 hours counted on March 18 and the last hour counted on March 19.)

But activitywatch only shows data for ~9 hours and that too on March 18:

and there's no data for March 19:

I looked into the logs folder and there's no log file for March 19 either.

How do I troubleshoot this?

Custom watcher visualization not working as expected

Hello, first of I want to congratulate you on your awesome project, which I have already installed on all my devices. I am currently working a a custom watcher for ActivityWatch that detects if I am standing or sitting (I have a height adjustable table). I will also publish it as soon as I am finished.

The problem is that the results are not shown as expected. I have taken some screenshots and wrote the things that are wrong in my opinion. By the way I am not sure if these are programming mistakes from my side or bugs in ActivityWatch. So I am sorry if I have understood something wrong.

The problem is that there is no text directly in the time lines. Only if I hover them. I would also like that sitting and standing (two different values) are in different colors.

And in Activity > Window my watcher is just missing.

I am using version 0.9.2 (latest) on Ubuntu.

Thank you in advance!

Can't start aw-qt/aw-server/etc on Linux (v0.9)
After updating to v0.9 I've been unable to start aw-qt, the server, or any of the watchers.

Unable to stop the stop watch
[x] I am on the latest ActivityWatch version.

[x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

OS name and version: Windows 7

ActivityWatch version: v0.11.0

Describe the bug

When I try to use the Stopwatch after updating it shows some TypeError after reloading the page the stopwatch seems to be running but again when trying to stop it ,it shows the same error so I have to delete that to stop it going on

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior, for example: 1. Go to Stop Watch 2. Create a new stopwatch 3. TypeError: Cannot read property 'timestamp' of null. See dev console (F12) and/or server logs for more info,

See this gif

Expected behavior

It does start the stop watch but I cannot stop it without deleting.

Create a MacOS .app for the whole ActivityWatch.
By going into the .app directory and trying to run ./aw-qt while not having my virtualenv active, I got the error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'aw-server': 'aw-server'.

I decide to try to pack the whole activitywatch into an .app to see if this would fix the problem. It did fix the problem, I now have .app files that run succesfully (at least on my system). However building the mega-bundle requires pyinstaller dev version (>=4.0).

I'd appreciate linux testing that I didn't break anything, and testing the pyinstaller-mega-package on non-macos systems would probably also be a good idea before merging anything.

Notes by maintainers:

[x] ~~Wait for PyInstaller 4.0 to get released~~ We're not going to wait.

[x] Add to CI process (fixed in #336)

The bundle produced could/might be used exclusively for macOS, to prevent breakage on other platforms.

Creating a new watcher

I would like to watch one integer variable from my window-manager (XY context : the virtual desktop I am in, as they are a good classification of the activities I do on the computer + makes it trivial to label current activity, by just moving to the corresponding space).

What would be a bare-bones watcher ?

Only has to run on linux. I can have the watched-thing run a shell command (messaging the watcher) every time its value changes, so it doesn't even have to continuously listen (though if it must listen, it can watch the /tmp/current-value file, easy).

Dashboard filter failing to tag some web content
Describe the bug

Problem with dashboard regex filters. For me youtube videos watched in firefox aren't being categorized correctly.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Have a youtube tab open for long enough that it shows up in the dashboard

Set up a filter for YouTube content to get tagged somehow

Expected behavior

I expected youtube media to get grouped inside the "media" category when I set my filter but it's just showing up under uncategorized.

UI seems barebones on first install and open
Hello! just leaving my 2 cents here after trying out activity watcher. I feel like the app seems very barebones in the first few days of install. I have a few suggestions to fix this hopefully:

[ ] Create a landing page on first install that guides the user through a few pages of customization and introduction. for example, a few tips popping up initially and a question asking if user would like a dark or light theme. this would make it more friendly

[ ] Inform the user clearly that he/she would need to wait a while before the webpage is fully populated. i understand this seems obvious but to the average consumer, initial impressions matter.

[ ] Small notifications could be added that pop up every now and then when a user gets distracted and spends too much time doing other stuff than what they categorized as work

[ ] the whole UI could be made to look more friendly. right now, it looks just a bit rigid. maybe some animations can be introduced to make things flow together. For example, when moving cursor across the sunburst graph, the higlighting could move over smoothly instead of instantly.

[ ] A persistent notification asking the User to download their default browser's activity watched extension can also be placed in UI. with direct links to the store pages.

[ ] Add more colorful headings. Currently, everything is kind of monotonous. I really liked the look of rescuetime with their different colors and interactive elements. maybe something like that could be implemented here as well.

this last one is not a UI tip but rather, i hope the SEO gets better for the website. nothing remotely close to this app comes up on google even though i searched it's exact name. surprising since it's so popular on github. Maybe the website could be updated with content distributed over multiple pages and headings with good keywords.

These are just a few changes i feel would improve the app.

Honorary mentions

Michael Bianco (@iloveitaly) for his work on refreshing the web UI design and improving macOS support!

Janne Uusitupa (@lambdanana) for finding a critical security vulnerability on macOS! (CVE coming soon)

Changelog

The changelog is written on a per-submodule basis. Look under the Feature subheaders for the most user-affecting changes.

BREAKING CHANGE: This release switches all Python-based modules to toml configuration, past configs will no longer be respected! (you need to migrate them if you want to keep any modifications)

Summary

✨ Categories can now have colors!

Note: If you're updating, your categories will not have any colors set by default.

✨ Barchart visualization now supports categories, as well as the weekly/monthly view.

✨ New audible-as-active feature, which counts audible browser tabs as you being active (if you use the web watcher)

✨ Sunburst visualization now has labels, so you can get an overview from a glance.

🍎 Better macOS support

🛡️ Fixed security vulnerability on macOS

The long-awaited stable release of v0.8 is here!

It contains lots of goodies like categorization, better weekly/monthly visualizations, and more! See the changelog for the details.

Installation

See the getting started guide in the documentation.

Changelog

The v0.8 versions are finally leaving beta, and we celebrate this by giving you a truly awesome release!

It's the culmination of a lot of behind-the-scenes work that has been going on for quite a while. Several of our most requested features have made it into this release (categorization, better weekly/monthly visualizations, preparations for syncing), making it our best release yet!

Web UI:

Categorization is finally here! Including visualizations and settings. The UX still leaves some things to be desired, but it's a great start.

Daily and Summary views are now merged into one so that you get all the goodies of the Daily view but for arbitrary timeperiods like days/weeks/months!

Updated the start page, including links to resources like the user survey.

Server:

New unique device ID is now exposed through the info API endpoint, a pre-requisite for building the much requested sync feature.

Now contains the transforms needed for categorization.

Other:

There is now a Windows installer available, and it automatically sets up autostart!

The full changelog is available in the documentation.

NOTE: The Windows builds are broken, we're working on it.
