activitywatch / aw-watcher-window

Cross-platform window watcher (for use with ActivityWatch)

aw-watcher-window

Cross-platform window-Watcher for Linux (X11), macOS, Windows.

How to install

To install the pre-built application, go to https://activitywatch.net/downloads/

To build your own packaged application, run make package

To install the latest git version directly from github without cloning, run pip install git+https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-window.git

To install from a cloned version, cd into the directory and run poetry install to install inside an virtualenv. You can run the binary via aw-watcher-window.

If you want to install it system-wide it can be installed with pip install ., but that has the issue that it might not get the exact version of the dependencies due to not reading the poetry.lock file.

Usage

In order for this watcher to be available in the UI, you'll need to have a Away From Computer (afk) watcher running alongside it.

Note to macOS users

To log current window title the terminal needs access to macOS accessibility API. This can be enabled in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility, then add the Terminal to this list. If this is not enabled the watcher can only log current application, and not window title.

aw-watcher-window's Issues

[macos] `loginwindow` reported with latest macOS update

I'm running into an issue where login window is reporting > 1hr of usage over a week period. I think this issue is connected to AFK and how it works.

1. Does Exclude AFK time filter out time where there is no AFK data? i.e. will the login window time above be excluded?
2. If not, do you think we should just explicitly filter out loginwindow events (string matching on the title)? Or should we improve AFK to 'fill in' the missing time period when the computer was sleeping (similar to what the macOS window watcher implementation does).

Support configuration of aw-server host+port

This binary seems to assume the aw-server is running on localhost:5600.
If aw-server runs on a different machine, it would be convenient to allow configuration of hostname and port of the server.

MacOS: Use realtime accessibility notifications to improve precision and performance

While writing https://github.com/CM-Tech/timeviewer/blob/main/monitor/TimeViewer/AppDelegate.swift, I discovered the swift functions AXObserverCreate and AXObserverAddNotification. This allows the application to extremely efficiently respond to things like title changes while using almost no CPU (in comparison to the 3% that polling uses on my machine). Would it be possible to use something like this in ActivityWatch to prevent polling?

If this is something that you would be interested in, I'd be open to helping take this on

Code makes unclear branches

I got a large bunch of 2017-07-26 03:28:42,691 [WARNING]: Code made an unclear branch (aw_watcher_window.xlib:81) (what does it mean ?), seemingly for all the heartbeats in a 20s period ?

It was 5 minutes ago and AW didn't crash, but iirc other crashes (in #19) were preceded by this happening.

setup.py on Windows fails on pypiwin32

It tries to get a source distribution (apparently since setuptools doesn't like wheels) and then fails on a build step where it trips over a old-style print statement.

Running pip install pypiwin32 to install it works, since pip successfully picks up the wheel and installs it.

Crashes when wine desktop is active

Tried running aw-qt.exe in Wine, and to my surprise aw-watcher-window crashed when I focused the window!

Don't feel like digging up the cause right now, could be tricky.

Reproduce

1. Open a wine desktop: $ wine explorer /desktop=shell
2. Hover

Eh, on second try aw-watcher-window didn't crash... wtf.

[macos] track audible status

I know it's possible, the 'media center' widget knows if audio is playing or not and which application is playing it. I don't know which APIs allow for observing this data though.

Custom title filter

The daily title stats is really useful. But I see something like this

So I would like to remove the leading ● when watching.

I have inspected the source code, wondering whether there is an non-intrusive way to do it.

No titles on MacOS

Not sure if this is a known issue, but the window watcher always reports empty titles for MacOS (Sierra). I'd be happy to help debug, I'd like to get involved with ActivityWatch development.

Permissions issues on MacOS Monterey

I just recently noticed I've had nearly no data logged in AW since upgrading to Monterey, aw-watcher-window's logs are full of

2021-11-20 04:18:06 [ERROR]: Exception thrown while trying to get active window: jxa error: Error: Error: ActivityWatch is not allowed assistive access.  (aw_watcher_window.main:74)

To me, that sounded like AW was missing the Accessibility permissions in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility, but those permissions are present.

Error logging filling up disk

Today my OS (vanilla Ubuntu 22.04) warned me that I had only a couple of GB left on my main disk. After some dinging I found that aw-watcher-window was spamming my disk with error logs. For example ~/.cache/activitywatch/log/aw-watcher-window is currently 160GB.

In those large log files, I see basically every second an entry like this:

2022-12-05 09:17:59 [ERROR]: Exception thrown while trying to get active window  (aw_watcher_window.main:110)

Xlib.error.ConnectionClosedError: Display connection closed by server: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

window watcher crashes on Chrome Task Manager window

Opening chrome's task manager (shortcut : Shift-Escape), a pop-up appears stating :

Module aw-watcher-window quit unexpectedly [Restart] [Show details] [Cancel]

Details are

2017-11-21 17:12:57 [INFO ]: Running watcher with poll time 1.0 seconds  (aw_watcher_window.main:35)
2017-11-21 17:12:57 [INFO ]: aw-watcher-window has started  (aw_watcher_window.main:44)

2017-11-21 18:10:56 [ERROR]: Exception thrown while trying to get active window: [Errno 5] Input/output error  (aw_watcher_window.main:69)

Pressing "restarting" in the notification popup only makes it crash again (with the same details), for so long as the active window is chrome's task manager. If I restart the watcher with an other window being active, it restarts fine and is stable. And crashes right again as soon as the task manager becomes active again (as my mouse goes over
it, as focus follows mouse in my awesome wm).

900GB Log File caused by error in error handler

I have two log files that are significantly larger than the usual logs, aw-watcher-window_2022-09-26T21-46-19.log which is almost 400MB and aw-watcher-window_2022-10-07T07-36-39.log which is over 900GB!

There appears to be an issue with error handling in aw-watcher-window. Both log files contains an ever-increasing stack trace.
Prior and subsequent logs have an acceptable size between a couple of bytes up to a max of 100KB.

This is with activitywatch version v0.12.0, I haven't updated yet and don't see anything regarding this in the changelogs for v0.12.1.

Being in the Desktop of Windows reports title as empty

Basically the title. I noticed these Events popping up in my uncategorized and think this is the windows desktop.

So I tried being on the desktop for 30s and looked at the raw buckets. It only showed explorer.exe without a title for the time on Desktop.

Is this a bug, intended or can this be fixed? Maybe a Special Case to add something to the title? I would just like to filter it out and add it to my Misc Category, so it doesn't always show such a high time of Uncategorized Activity

Aw watcher window quits without any logged error on MacOS Catalina

I'm on a rather old MacOS:

  System Version:	macOS 10.15.7 (19H2)
  Kernel Version:	Darwin 19.6.0
  Boot Volume:	Macintosh HD
  Boot Mode:	Normal
  Secure Virtual Memory:	Enabled
  System Integrity Protection:	Enabled

Just installed ActivityWatch, v0.12.1, it had a small hiccup when starting the first time, had to start it a second time, then the tray icon appeared, but also a message about aw-watcher-window having quit unexpectedly:

Clicking "restart" closes the window, but the module just quit again without giving the error window.

In the log there is nothing significant:

Wayland Support - A blessing and a curse

Wayland will complicate matters, we will now have to support whatever each compositor uses.

Ubuntu will use Wayland from 17.10 (Update: But will switch back to Xorg in 18.04) so that would potentially put a lot of users outside of our abilities to collect windows.

Gnome support might be doable, we'll have to check out how you get the active window there. I don't use Gnome and probably wont fix support anytime soon, but it needs done sooner or later.

maybe line 63 of xlib.py, which currently reads except UnicodeError:, should be except UnicodeError, UnicodeDecodeError:, since it seems to be a catch-all-and-coerce type code block anyway. But I dunno.

[Linux] Can I use hyprctl to support Hyprland

Hyprland is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor based on wlroots, It provides hyprctl, If I can use hyprctl to get the class and title, can I implement support for hyprland

Needed: absolute file path in data model

I'm pulling out custom reports and I need the absolute path, not just the filename. From that you can get the real formatted/friendly app name, icon, and more. Hopefully it's not too awkward to get

fetching titles on macOS

#29 is replacing the logic for retrieving windowtitle and active app from macOS clients.

There seems to be lots of options on how to do this, and we should definitely replace the applescript.

I just want to share a bit of what I found out.

The nicest way for us to do this is probably through python and AppKit.

I can easily get the active application by:

from AppKit import NSWorkspace
workspace = NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace()
app_name = workspace.frontmostApplication().localizedName()

This gist tries to do what we want.

However, it does not work all the time for me, since window['kCGWindowOwnerName'] == 'iTerm', while app.localizedName() == 'iTerm2'. Also, it seems that the gist is just returning the first match. Maybe windowList is always sorted in the correct order, not sure.

100% cpu after Xorg exits

I run a single user system and I frequently start and exit X through xrdp. The start of aw-watcher-window is part of my wm launching configuration (.i3/config in my case). When Xorg exits aw-watcher-window goes to 100% cpu usage. I've written https://gist.github.com/phromo/6a41be2bc4d716751eee2eb29856d4bb as a workaround, but that's not the proper way to do it :)

[macOS] watcher unable to get name of current app if it has no dock icon

I just noticed that aw-watcher-window seems to be unable to get the current app name if the app has no icon in the dock. Specifically I noticed with this app which has the option to keep running while hiding the dock icon. With the icon hidden aw-watcher-window does not identify that the app is being used and only records a generic "Google Chrome" event (I believe it's made using react-native-web, which itself uses Electron?) .

[macos] detect incognito on safari

from this comment

Note that safari is active, so we can actually use our accessibility privileges to inspect the menu bar for incognito silently like the above link suggests. Additionally, the title should contain , Private Browsing so we could just filter that

[macOS] Exception thrown while trying to get active window: error compiling jxa script

On a fresh installation of ActivityWatch on Mac, the aw-watcher-window application failed to work, resulting in all applications reporting as "unknown".

Inspecting the logs, this was the error message, logged approximately every second:

[ERROR]: Exception thrown while trying to get active window: error compiling jxa script  (aw_watcher_window.main:74)

When I pasted printAppStatus.jxa into the script editor to debug, the error message reported

Error on line 1: SyntaxError: Invalid character: '#'

Opening the package contents and deleting line 1 from printAppStatus.jxa then solved the problem for me.

I didn't see this error come up in any google searches or existing issues, which was odd to me because the first thing I tried was to remove and reinstall the app a couple times but this bug was consistent on a fresh install on my machine (running Mojave 10.14.6). It's a simple code fix, as seen above, but not seeing the bug reported elsewhere, I wasn't sure if it was affecting anybody else's machine. It seems like it should have, given that the bug was a syntax error in the jxa file.

Is it possible to replace aw-watcher-window?

I use GNOME Wayland, and aw-watcher-window doesnt work on that, so I'm creating a simple GNOME extension that would get the active window title via GNOME's API, like in #46. The aw-client-js library can't be easily used in GJS, so the actual watcher will be made in Python and communitcate with the extension via D-Bus.

However, the question is, is it possible for users to replace aw-watcher-window? What I mean is some sort of a config to prevent aw-watcher-window from starting automatically and starting a custom version (eg. aw-watcher-window-gnome) instead.

[Linux] 'BadRRModeError' object has no attribute 'sequence_number'

aw-watcher-window randomly encounters this error, which then causes it to hang with high CPU usage. This is probably related to python-xlib/python-xlib#241

[macos] Process crashed without error

Watcher process suddenly died after running okay for weeks (last commit, from terminal). Lost 2h of data.

Mac: high CPU in trustd/syspolicd/virus scanner when enabled

I've installed activitywatch on my up to date catalina Mac by downloading the the activitywatch-v0.9.2-macos-x86_64.dmg file, dragging the icon to application and then went to /Application, clicked right->open, answered the security question and got an icon in my tray/menu bar. I also went and added activitywatch to the accessibility security&privacy list.

Unfortunately, now my system has about 60% of an CPU running trustd, syspolicyd and my virus scanner, which is enough to start the fans.

I can trigger this by quitting activitywatch via the menu icon (all processes stop using CPU) and restarting it (all start up again). When I play with the started modules, the CPU load stops when I stop aw-watcher-window and starts again when I enable it. The rest (server and afk) make no problems. When I disable the virus scanner, the load of the virus scanner goes away but trustd/systpolicyd stay on.

The App was installed a few days ago and I noticed the high CPU (by the starting fan) for a few days. This might correlate with a mac os x update? At least I remember a nightly restart at the same time I started noticing the fans.

[macos] Process crashes with Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

I see the aw-watcher-window process randomly crashing on MacOS after a while. I cannot quite determine what triggers the crash.

Here is the output of the process with --verbose:

Note the exception main/macos.swift:282: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value.

Looking at the code location, I am not on the same version as the master branch. I am using the version bundled with ActivityWatch version v0.12.2.

This line could be a candidate:
https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-window/blob/f08afe80cc3af1c62f948abb015be0ad3adcec67/aw_watcher_window/macos.swift#L282C1-L282C55

In that case the issue would be fixed with 82d9673

Does the .dmg package on https://activitywatch.net/ potentially contain an old version?

[macos] url changes are not detected

If you switch tabs, that is reported, but navigating within a tab/window is not noticed using the existing logic. This can cause the watcher to report longer time on a particular url/title than we should.

Error shows after running for a day constantly

This error shows up when leaving the computer inactive overnight – might be useful to note:

Track webcam and microphone usage

https://github.com/antonfisher/go-media-devices-state

I think webcam and microphone could be two interesting additions to the heartbeat payload here. The idea would be:

If AFK is true but webcam and/or microphone are on, still treat this time as active. In other words, still track long-running video conferences as active time on the computer.

What do you think? Is this watcher the right place for it?

Ensure AppleScript returns correctly

We should really check so that the subprocess exits with a zero code.

Otherwise errors might lead to crazy long error messages: ActivityWatch/activitywatch#59

exclude_title does not seem to be respected on Windows 10

My aw-watcher-window.ini is as follows but still window titles are sent to the server.
I tried both aw-qt.exe and aw-watcher-window.exe but I got the same result.

[aw-watcher-window]
poll_time = 10.0
exclude_title = yes

[aw-watcher-window-testing]
poll_time = 1.0
exclude_title = yes

ActivityWatch Version: v0.8.0b9
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Config path: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\activitywatch\activitywatch\aw-watcher-window\aw-watcher-window.ini

[Windows] Switch to use title instead of executable

It seems the watcher is using the executable name to display and I don't really understand where it takes the color.
It would be nice if the graph would use the window title - or at least color it according to the settings for the window title (consistent to the coloring in the activity tab)

[Windows] Apps run in Administrator not got recorded

I saw some vacancy on the timeline.

After some tests I realized they are apps run as administrator (e.g. Windows Terminal (Admin), Process Hacker (Administrator) ), which don't have any logs in the Raw Data.

I tried 12.2 and 12.3b15, both the same.

I tried to set Run As Administrator in the properties of aw-watcher-window.exe, but it just fail to start by aw-qt
