PietsonAre there any good FOSS time tracking tools can that periodically take snapshots of your screen?
This is a feature of manictime that I find incredibly useful, I'd love to know if anyone is familiar with a FOSS tool that has similar functionality.
KirI’m curious, what do you use it for?
For me, I often get to Friday afternoon and realise I haven’t recorded my time all week.
Supposed to be billing clients for tasks.
Screen caps every 15 minutes helps me see what I was doing
that's exactly what I'd like to use it for, although using shareX for this seems a little inconvenient? I assume it wouldn't have any sort of timeline feature to go along with it?
Would a timeline really provide much benefit over viewing screenshots in a folder?
This one has a calendar:
Auto Screen Capture
Auto Screen Capture is an Open Source graphics utility that provides you with the ability to automatically capture the display of up to four screens - an excellent tool for designers, gamers, and testers. Auto Screen Capture allows you to schedule screen capture sessions and then choose the days to take screenshots. You can customize your file names using a macro with the date and time stamps using your preferred folder structure.
Shared auto capture?
You could build something in Macrodroid/Automate/Tasker. Someone may have already made one.
activitywatch.net doesn’t take screenshots, But depending on what you’re using it may accurately accurately record what you’re doing in a different way.
This is another tool that doesn’t exactly do what you’re asking for but may also be useful. wiki.gnome.org/Apps/ActivityJournal
