Christian SeligIs there a good app on macOS for seeing a daily breakdown of which apps spent the most time as the active window? e.g.: Safari was 45 minutes, Xcode was 1 hour, etc. (Like Screen Time but more detail and not only weekly.)
robb@christianselig never used it but I vaguely remember RescueTime doing that?
Dominic Hopton@dlx @christianselig another vote for rescue time. It lets you categorize to productive, unproductive, and for some apps let’s you get to the level of ‘document’
Arthur Rosa@christianselig i don’t know if it’s still good for this but i used to use RescueTime to get this kind of granular tracking!
Claus@christianselig Check out Toggl, I think…
Atom0@christianselig Looks like https://activitywatch.net is what you’re searching for !
James Harvey@christianselig Toggl Track's Mac app will track the active window as long as it is open, although I don't know anything that *just* does it. Probably wouldn't be too hard to make a quick app that just dumps it into a Core Data/SwiftData thing?

@christianselig let me add https://timingapp.com to the list - looks like it does what you want and then some.
Andreas Retsis@heals @christianselig is there a free alternative?
Stephen Hackett 
@christianselig Timing comes to mind.
Robin Baral@ismh @christianselig +1 Timing is great for that
Nic Goodman@ismh @christianselig can confirm, timing is GREAT. Also, timeular is pretty good too, I prefer its UI but the app itself is not nearly as optimized as timing, feels more like an electron app aka, it wants to eat all your memory. But the UI is pretty great.

@christianselig https://timingapp.com and https://timemator.com both do this. Even more: https://alternativeto.net/software/timemator-for-mac/
Josh Wold@christianselig to add to this I’d love it to share the title of the active tab or window.

David Lynch@christianselig Screen Time does do it daily, though. E.g. here's mine for Sunday, where I clearly wound up getting a bit lost in reading an entire webcomic's archive...
Shannon Clark@christianselig for iPad I can see a day view with screentime (I don’t use screentime for my own account just for my son’s account but I don’t think the day view is only for kids accounts). It’s very useful for seeing how much time my son has used various apps.
It looks like ScreenTime for the MacOS can show by a single day at least in Ventura (see https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/track-app-and-device-usage-in-screen-time-mchlf2c0c770/13.0/mac/13.0) does that not show what you need?
Sören Gade@christianselig Timing can do that (and more)
Josh “Yoshi” Vickerson@christianselig RescueTime does this, but their long-in-progress 3.X version is… quite shitty, compared to how it used to be. Been using it almost 10 years and the latest versions have me thinking about abandoning it.
Critter@josh @christianselig same boat. I’m not a fan of their new app. Tbh.. I’m not sure what the hell is going on anymore. Their old app was easy to understand. The newer one feels like I’m opening Snapchat for the first time
robenkleene@christianselig Timing.app is great, but too fiddle for my tastes. RescueTime also. Both of those are really more for in-depth analysis over time. So great if that's what you're looking for.
Personally I don't find I need that though. I usually just want to quickly measure for a couple of days to see if it matches my intuition. For that the best is the criminally under-recommended Time Sink, made by a pair of OS X legends, which achieves this goal with the least fuss https://manytricks.com/timesink/
ojizero@christianselig there’s RescueTime that does that, also Toggl has a tracking mode that’s similar!
Jonas@christianselig Timemator has a great UI/UX, pure MacOS/iOS app.

Never_Say_No_To_Panda@christianselig I just discovered CurrentKey Stats app (looking for an app that would rename Spaces—which it has a workaround for.) It’s on the macOS App Store. https://currentkey.com
