Thanks i…

I'm using Timesnapper and it's great. Not only it keeps screenshots for everything, but you can also filter by application while searching for an old website you saw or data that you forgot to save. It needs a lot of storage though. In 50GB you can keep 2-3 months of screenshots.

Here is a fork by github user ljos that includes OSX support: https://github.com/ljos/selfspy I am actively using it, and it seems to be pretty much like the original linux version.

Actually, now I've forked this myself to streamline the installation process:

  git clone git://github.com/iandennismiller/selfspy.git
  cd selfspy && make requirements && sudo make install

I keep getting stuck at:

I think Foundation provided by pyobjc. I suppose it's possibly you don't have a suitable version installed in site-packages, in which case you might try running the following command globally (i.e. outside the virtual environment):

  sudo pip install pyobjc
