Many years ago, I was baffled by a developer who had an application running that would take a screenshot of his workstation in regular intervals. He was then able to check what he did at a certain time. Then with this data, he could assign his time to different projects. I believe there was more behind that tool than just screenshots, but I did not ask.
At that time, I dismissed this due to prîvacy, and I am not really a programmer anyway.
Today, I should split up my working time to different projects and supporting customers. But I am a lousy timekeeper. I tried many approaches, but I seem to fail. Too many context switches between phone calls, support requests, project aktivities, you name it.
I came across ActivityWatch and start to see it’s advantages.
Yet, one feature I miss is the ability to take screenshots from my screen and add that information to the timeline.
It seems that this is not even discussed in the documentation or the forum. Is my idea/request/question just too alien?
Or was it considered and then dismissed?
Just being curious.
And, by the way, if you have pointers to that other software which takes regular screenshots, analyzes and categorizes them for timekeeping… (not that I intend to go away from ActivityWatch so fast…)
Thanks
