Unfortunately, their solution is far worse than something like Rescue Time, so the only real winner here is Apple. My Apple devices (iPhone, iPad) are effectively a black hole where I have no idea where my time goes, while I have detailed graphs and data whenever I use my laptop (Linux) or desktop (Windows).
- gnicholas 7y ago>where I have no idea where my time goes Apple’s solution does show the apps used the most. But I agree it’s not at good as Mute or other 3rd party apps. I’d use those if they didn’t kill my battery on account of needing to track movement at all times (which is their only way to get access to device usage data). I wish Apple would just let these apps access the bare usage information so they could stop pretending that location is a critical part of their apps.
- jplayer01 7y agoThe amount of detail and information provided by Screen Time just pales in comparison. The UI to work with it also isn't great. And the data is locked into Apple's ecosystem, where other solutions allow a true cross-platform and open (exportable data) experience. Not sure why I'm being so downvoted.
- DenseComet 7y agoWhat software do you use to do time tracking on Linux?
- jplayer01 7y agoI’ve settled on Rescue Time for everything. I’d prefer a non-cloud based one but I haven’t found a decent one yet.
