Yes, I used it for a while to see what kinds of trackers exist on OS X. But I rarely need to know the path or track a specific project. Productivity of sites and chats is more important for me since I want to know stats of my procrastinatio

I think I'm going to add custom filters to solve this and probably iTerm tracking.

Thank you. Database includes the most popular apps and sites and it will grow in future. Unrecognized domains and apps are sent by users on categorization but you can opt-out by unchecking "Submit..." or disable it completely (in

Yes, it uses OS X accessibility to get the focused app and its focused window.

Yes, up to 5 machines for the personal/family use.

I hope I can convince Firefox team to report page URLs to OS X accessibility. Or maybe I will try to commit it myself.

Haha, yes, we had some doubts about the name's UX but nothing better was found. It's cube-serve in my opinion, an observing cube. Well, I'm not a native English speaker... :)

Thank you, I think there's enough data collected to produce invoices for clients, we just need to decide how to organize per-client activity management in the UI.

You can set idle per-category. "Videos & TV" category is idle by default. So if you have Youtube open and there's no mouse/keyboard input then Qbserve assumes you're watching a video.

Timing uses completely different tracking approach, iirc there's AppleScript involved. Qbserve uses accessibility but I have plans to make improvements for per-project tracking.

Oh, right, thank you for the tip.

Yes, I got many requests for iTerm2 tracking and it will be definitely added. I'm looking into the available options, so thank you for the link!

I use OS X accessibility, so Qbserve tracks the focused windows. In case of browsers it's usually the current tab of the top window.

I'm thinking about it but it's not a priority since there are many apps that do it already. Free StayFocusd, WasteNoTime for browsers and also the Focus[1] native app (paid). [1] https://heyfocus.com/

Thank you a lot! I will definitely consider the small business option. We now have educational discounts and the license is also works for the whole family (up to 5 machines).

Firefox does not report URL to OS X accessibility. I'm going to file a bug or even dig into the sources later.

Why not? Thousands of app companies exist on one-time payment for many years, releasing payed updates sometimes. MacPaw is a good modern example.

Sorry, right now it's not possible. I would like to add synchronization some day but it's a bit far on the todo list.

We're not hidden, I just failed to create "About" page somewhere.

You can disable the colors in the settings tab. It should work both for classic and dark menu bar styles.

Could be a problem with how ST reports its project names to the system. I'll take a look soon, sorry about that.

Sorry, no, it will require complete re-write and the app also heavily relies on OS X accessibility. But I remember using ManicTime on Windows, give it a try maybe.

Yes, it's until June, 30.

It works completely offline, so feel free to block it with firewall. WakaTime works only with developer apps.

Should be good now.

Thank you, I fixed the price. > Tracking the '6,400 sites, apps and games' is great, but it would be good if I could find out if the ones I care about in that list! Mostly the ones from top 10k Alexa but all the unrecognized ca

It was started before Swift become more or less mature, so the whole codebase is in Objective-C.

Just Cocoa (Obj-C), SQLite with FMDB, and CorePlot.

Sorry, try again. For some reason a small DO droplet with 2 static pages is down from being on HN.

You can try to show iTerm2 windows as activities (there's a checkbox when you select it in the Details table). But it can bring some noise in case window titles are changed too often. I'm thinking about adding custom rules setting
