Activity Tracker
===================

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.

Installation
=============

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

Reports
=============

* 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::

$ python report.py
