What Hacker News says
2 sourcesI use https://github.com/Naereen/uLogMe (it's a fork of a tool Andrej Karpathy wrote a few years ago: http://karpathy.github.io/2014/08/03/quantifying-productivit...).
It collects data on your general computer usage by measuring the active time and amount of keystrokes per window. It has two parts: some scripts to collect the data and a web interface to visualize the data.
The main drawback of such tools is that most ot them seem to require X11 and won't work with wayland.
