Install & setup

You can download the latest installer from the releases section.

Pre-requisites

• Install ActivityWatch. Check out their homepage for instructions. Make sure the server is running.

• Install the extension for Visual Studio Code, here.

• Add an entry to the CORS configuration so the application can communicate with aw-server.

  Edit ~/Library/Application\ Support/activitywatchaw-server.toml (Config docs) and add cors_origins = "tauri://localhost" to the [server] section.

Platforms

• MacOS (universal installer)

We plan on creating installers for Windows and Linux.

Code editors

• Visual Studio Code

We plan on extending this list as long as there's an activity watch extension for it already.

Roadmap

Some of the features being considered:

• Filters by project and/or language
• Support more code editors
• Windows/Linux support
• Display CPU/RAM etc info with Alwinator/aw-watcher-utilization
• A more performant charts library
• Better error handling
