Cross-platform window-Watcher for Linux (X11), macOS, Windows.
To install the pre-built application, go to https://activitywatch.net/downloads/
To build your own packaged application, run make package
To install the latest git version directly from github without cloning, run
pip install git+https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-window.git
To install from a cloned version, cd into the directory and run
poetry install
to install inside an virtualenv. If you want to install it
system-wide it can be installed with pip install .
, but that has the issue
that it might not get the exact version of the dependencies due to not reading
the poetry.lock file.
To log current window title the terminal needs access to macOS accessibility API.
This can be enabled in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility
, then add the Terminal to this list. If this is not enabled the watcher can only log current application, and not window title.
