activitywatch
The best free and open-source automated time tracker. Cross-platform, extensible, privacy-focused.
Project mention: EFF Launches Age Verification Hub as Resource Against Misguided Laws | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-11Ah okay. I think this would probably be pretty tricky, security-wise, no? One of my first thoughts that might help would be writing a simple tool that parses history from your browsers to categorize it. Other than that, there are things like https://activitywatch.net/ (which seems to have a desktop and Android version)
-
I used Dagster, which integrates with dbt nicely (see the point above about how it automagically pulls in documentation). It understands the models and dependencies, and orchestrates everything nicely. It tracks executions and shows you runtimes.
