Some websites (say, Github) do not include its name in its title, making it impossible to categorize it right now. As I see it, the current rule type would be renamed to something like Title (regular expression) a second rule type would be added (say, URL (regular expression)). Seems reasonable?
Good suggestion!
To get it to work exactly like that however I’m not sure if it’s easily doable with the current implementation. It would probably be easier to continue have only a single regular expression but merge the events from the web watcher and the window events in a smart way so the regex matches both.

Seems nice, works for me 
I’d love to take a chance at helping with implementing that, could you point me to the relevant files?
How can I implement this? I work with different urls all the time and just for the dashboard to show Google Chrome is not enough…

I think, that GitHub is much better place for talking about implementation of feature.
There is already Issue about this functionality
I clicked through various GitHub threads there, but most of them either tell me to download a now defunct Chrome extension to add the URL to the tab title or they solve some other issue and the URLs are still not showing.
Not sure why this hasn’t been done yet, forgive my ignorance - I can see the data in one bucket, but the Browser summary doesn’t show any URLs, which is weird.
The URL gives a much more granular level of categorisation than the title + these events are already in the system + they share the same title - could you perhaps merge all entries from the window watcher with the browser watcher using the titles?
I use https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/url-in-title/ignpacbgnbnkaiooknalneoeladjnfgb to show URLs in the tab title. Also don’t forget that you also need the AW Watcher Web https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-web chrome extension. They both in combination allow me to track specific URLs in a very detailed way and have been working fine for a long time (actually been using it for years)

cool, thanks, wasn’t aware there was a new version of the URL in title extension. Will test it out.
