h2.mt-4 Frequently Asked Questions About ActivityWatch
h3 What is ActivityWatch?
p
| ActivityWatch is a free, open-source, automated time tracker that runs on your computer and monitors which applications and websites you use. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Unlike cloud-based time trackers, all data is stored locally on your device for maximum privacy.

p
| ActivityWatch runs on #[b Windows] (10 and later), #[b macOS] (10.15+), #[b Linux] (most distributions), and #[b Android]. Browser extensions are available for Chrome and Firefox to track your web activity.

h2 About the maintainers
p
| ActivityWatch was founded by brothers and current maintainers Erik Bjäreholt and Johan Bjäreholt.
| We started building ActivityWatch because we thought something like it should exist (it didn't), so we decided to build it ourselves. You can read the #[a(href="https://docs.activitywatch.net/en/latest/history.html") History] page in the docs for more about the project's origins.
p
| We don't work on ActivityWatch full-time, so development may slow at times. But we think that ActivityWatch is important software (if you agree, #[a(href="/donate/") donate]!), and we're building for the long term.
| We want to build an as useful tool as possible for as many people as possible.
p
| Over the years, many significant contributions have come from the community, and we hope to see them increase over time.
