Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Simple Mac Screenshot Tracker
Become more productive by reviewing what you've been working on. This application runs in the background and creates low-resolution screenshots every 60 or so (can be changed) seconds. After a tough day full of work you can then watch what you've been doing. Maybe you find that you waste a surprisingly huge amount of time on random things.
Why did I create this? It's a completely free alternative to the many screenshot trackers out there. It is very simple and hackable. It gets the job done!
Dependencies:
- ffmpeg (e.g.
brew install ffmpeg)
Usage:
python3 track.py track
python3 track.py watch
For scrolling through all captured screenshots I use: https://github.com/torum/Image-viewer
TODO:
- Support for Linux, Windows. Should be trivial with ffmpeg, simply change the -f parameter (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Capture/Desktop). Pull requests are welcome.
- More options, flesh it out. This is more for hackers who want to tinker with it.
- Statistics based on the application in the foreground. However, this will require PyObjC, a substantial dependency.
