Track what you are spending your time on.
- It logs the current open window title and whether the user is active every 15s.
- Reports to be done. Ultimately I want to classify in "deep work" and "slacking" and see when I am most productive.
Place into ~/.config/autostart/activitytracker.desktop:
[Desktop Entry] Name=Activity Tracker GenericName=Tracks what you spend your time on Exec=/home/user/Downloads/activitytracker/tracker.sh StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Version=1.0 Categories=Utility; Type=Application X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Then restart.
Or start it manually with:
$ /home/user/Downloads/activitytracker/tracker.sh
Watch the recording:
$ tail -f ~/.local/share/activitytracker/log
Create ~/.local/share/activitytracker/classes defining in each line:
- Name of class
- t as separator
- Regular expression for matching "title :: executable"
for example:
Hobby ~/Downloads/activitytracker Lit JabRef Programming /usr/bin/gedit Programming IPython Programming /usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server
- The first matching class is assigned.
run report.py:
