ScreenSense

What is this?

This is a simple script that tracks your usage across all your apps on windows.

If you run into any issues while installing requirements, try using python 3.6.x

How to use?

1. Clone the repository
2. Run pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Optional (If you wish to use a specific python environment) you must edit the run_dasboard_server.bat and track_usage_activity.bat and activate the environment/change python location before running the script.

4. Create a shortcut of usage_activity_tracker_activate.bat and place it in the startup folder at C:\Users{user}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

   1. This will ensure that the script runs everytime you start your computer.

   2. remember to replace {user} with your actual username according to your pc.

5. You can now check your usage at http://localhost:5003/
