ActivityWatch is an app that automatically tracks how you spend time on your devices.

It is open source, privacy-first, cross-platform, and a great alternative to services like RescueTime, ManicTime, and WakaTime.

It can be used to keep track of your productivity, time spent on different projects, bad screen habits, or just to understand how you spend your time.

Features

  • Tracking: Tracks active application and window title out of the box, more with watchers.
  • Categories: Get a better overview of your usage by breaking it down into categories.
  • Browser extensions: Track the active tab using the extensions for Chrome and Firefox.
  • Editor plugins: Track how you spend time writing code with editor watchers.
  • Privacy: Data is stored locally and doesn't leave your device, we put local and privacy first.
  • Cross-platform: Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.
  • Synchronization: Sync your activity between your devices. (We're working on it)

Why use it?

You can use ActivityWatch to:

  • Monitor your productivity.
  • Track how much time you spend on different projects.
  • Get an overview of time spent on apps, games, videos, and music.
  • Manage your bad screen habits.
  • Measure your work-life balance.
  • Find behavioral trends in how you use your devices.
  • Gain "self-knowledge through numbers" (Quantified Self)
  • Keep a log of your digital life (lifelogging).
  • Research attention, productivity, and behavior (researchers: contact us!)
  • Track who creates the things you use, so you can incentivize them to continue
    • The goal of the Thankful app

Our users are diverse and we keep being surprised by what people use ActivityWatch for. If you've built something cool that you want to share with us, post about it on the forum!
