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.

SUPPORT THE PROJECT!

ActivityWatch is built entirely by volunteers and relies on donations to keep
development going. If it has helped you in any way, please consider donating.


ABOUT THE MAINTAINERS

ActivityWatch is primarily being developed by Erik Bjäreholt and Johan
Bjäreholt, with help from the community. We're two brothers who, among other
things, like free and open-source software. We started building ActivityWatch
because we thought something like it should exist (it didn't), so we built it
ourselves.

We make practically no money from our work on ActivityWatch and have other
things going on, like work and studies, that may cause development to slow at
times. But with that in mind we think this is important software (if you agree,
donate!) so we're building for the long term. Our goal is simply to build an as
useful tool as possible for as many people as possible.

Many significant contributions have come from the community and we hope to see
them increase over time. For details on who has contributed what and how much to
ActivityWatch check out the contributor statistics.
