See https://activitywatch.net/ for local tracking with several plugins to capture more events. There are several watchers already implemented, which are listed here. They are also working on an Android version for more logging.

Thanks for your talk by the way.

Oh, nice! That's really cool I'll take a deeper look as time allows. I've also considered adding in support for other trackers like https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/ but I like the plugin capability in ActivityWatch.

I was using RescueTime before, but then I moved to the enterprise environment where I was not comfortable with streaming all my data to external third party (that also processes it). I also build a visualisation tool on top of d3 for it, video demo. Which allowed me to find out what I was doing months afterwards (very useful with hour tracking).

Qbserve looks quite nice and stores data locally as well. ActivityWatch itself feels more like an open-source project, where for example you have to run the main process with aw-qt > /dev/null 2>&1 in order to make your terminal not crash. For both projects if you have multiple devices you can combine the data in AWS.
