ActivityWatch is an open source app that automatically tracks how time is spent cross-platform on devices, mainly PC and smartphone. It is a privacy-first alternative to services like [[RescueTime]], [[ManicTime]], and [[WakaTime]]. It can be used to keep track of productivity, time spent on different projects, screen habits, or just to understand how users spend their time.

== Basic functionality == 
ActivityWatch works by installing the application on your computer and/or smartphone. While the app is running in the background it automatically collects data on when and for how long you are using different applications and automatically classifies them. ActivityWatch comes with a web interface which currently has activity overview (most used applications by day, timeline, most time spent on a website) and bucket overview (when a bucket was last updated, listing of the latest events).

The project has a quite complete [https://docs.activitywatch.net/en/latest/index.html documentation site] regarding its installation, use and customisation.

== Exporting data == 
If you go to the “Raw Data” page in the ActivityWatch webui you can download any of the buckets which contain every collected datapoint in ActivityWatch as a single file. You can also export data programatically using the REST API (not documented).
