Awatcher

Cross-desktop window activity and idle-time watcher, compatible with ActivityWatch as a single binary.

Desktopfreeglobal

Awatcher is an open-source window activity and idle-time watcher for Linux desktops. It's designed as a drop-in replacement for ActivityWatch's original watchers, adding support for more desktop environments such as Sway, Hyprland, and COSMIC, and can run as a module inside ActivityWatch or as a standalone bundled app with its own tray and web UI. It's built for Linux users who want automatic, local time and activity tracking without manually starting a timer.
