Set the hours. Let it start.
Choose a daily start and stop/report time. Activity can open at those times and at login. If your Mac is asleep, it catches up when it can run.
A clearer picture of where your time goes. Follow your app usage, set a daily schedule, and finish with a report you can actually read.
A standalone Mac app with its own window and menu-bar controls. Your activity history and reports stay on your computer.

Illustrative data. Actual reports use your installed apps’ icons and observed activity.
A daily rhythm
Choose a daily start and stop/report time. Activity can open at those times and at login. If your Mac is asleep, it catches up when it can run.
Review estimated active and idle time, time by app, optional window titles, and counts of clicks, key presses, and scroll events.
Get a daily report with app icons, time breakdowns, and an activity timeline. Open earlier reports, build a snapshot, or export a day as CSV.
The daily report
At your configured report time, Activity stops tracking and saves a report on your Mac. The dashboard and menu bar make it easy to open. Earlier days stay in your report history.
Each HTML report includes its app icons, so it opens without fetching images from the internet. CSV export gives you the underlying timeline to work with.
Estimated time by app, with optional window-level detail.
Separate observed active time from periods of inactivity.
Clicks, key presses, and scroll events—without typed content.
See how you moved between apps throughout the day.
Local by design
Activity records foreground app usage and interaction counts. Window and browser page titles are optional. It does not capture screenshots, typed text, or page contents, and it does not upload activity history.
Pause tracking, exclude an app, export a day, or delete your history and saved reports. History is retained locally for 30 days. A visible menu-bar indicator shows when tracking is on.
App timing works without extra permissions. Window titles and global key counts need Accessibility access for Activity; protected input may not be observed.
Time is estimated from one-second samples and app switches. Sleep, locked screens, paused periods, excluded apps, and detected Relay automation are omitted from active time. Activity must be running to observe usage; a schedule can launch it, but gaps cannot be reconstructed.
