Become more productive by reviewing what you've been working on. This application runs in the background and creates low-resolution screenshots every 60 or so (can be changed) seconds. After a tough day full of work you can then watch what you've been doing. Maybe you find that you waste a surprisingly huge amount of time on random things.
Why did I create this? It's a completely free alternative to the many screenshot trackers out there. It is very simple and hackable. It gets the job done!
Dependencies:
- ffmpeg (e.g.
brew install ffmpeg)
Usage:
python3 track.py track
python3 track.py watch
For scrolling through all captured screenshots I use: https://github.com/torum/Image-viewer
TODO:
- Support for Linux, Windows. Should be trivial with ffmpeg, simply change the -f parameter (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Capture/Desktop). Pull requests are welcome.
- More options, flesh it out. This is more for hackers who want to tinker with it.
- Statistics based on the application in the foreground. However, this will require PyObjC, a substantial dependency.
