#2That looks absolutely amazing. You(?) even prepared packages.
> In general, try to set your programs (editors, terminals, web apps, ...) to include information on what you are doing in the window title. This will make it easier to search for later.
So if I'm in the terminal, Selfspy can only tell what I'm doing by the window title?

#3This looks awesome, but I wish there were some built in graphs and charts for my usage, most visited tabs, etc.
Otherwise, awesome stuff!

#4This is awesome. I just started building an app to track misc personal stats (a la Daytum, but with an API) and this will work great with it.

#5I recently wrote a similar utility. I'll definitively take a closer look at this.
I don't know if you have these features, but here's couple of features I have in mine that you might find useful:
1) I can upload a timeline into Google calendar. I do this by chunking my day into half-hour increments, and whatever I spent the most time on in that half-hour get assigned to the half-hour. (Hey, Google, please let me set the task color through the API - thanks)
2) I also sample the title window of the foreground app, but I can override this. For example, if I go running, or do the dishes, that time will be properly tracked.
3) I assign tasks to categories. For example, emacs, shell, my IDE, are all "Development". Dishes, cooking, etc are all "Chores". I'd rather track time by these larger categories.
I wrote this utility a week ago, so I haven't been using it that long. But I am liking it. One more thing: Python absolutely ROCKS! This utility is less than 700 LOC and was a pleasure to write.

#6If anyone is interested in collaborating on similar stuff for a commercial project (an OS X app) let me know. I'm working on an objective-c app that does some similar things.

#7This is very cool. I've wanted something like this for a while.

#8This is amazing, I'm worried about the possible security flaws, but I don't think that could be much of a problem.
I'll take a look tomorrow and see how it works.

Something like this, which can also string together what I do across phone, tablet and computer would be even more interesting.

#10Glad someone found and posted this. I'd been using PyKeyLogger for the past week (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pykeylogger/), but this one has built-in analytics. Hopefully someone beats me to a Windows version.
Suppose I want to combine this with other personal time-series data--can anyone suggest a good tool and workflow?
