digital-wellbeing

Linux app more than Digital Wellbeing found in Androids.

Tools I am gonna use

xev && evtest for logging different devices input which would look something like the below

so the below are the keys got from

❯ xev | sed -ne '/^KeyPress/,/^$/p'

KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x5a00001,
    root 0x1d6, subw 0x0, time 12136878, (476,588), root:(1447,604),
    state 0x0, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff15, XF86AudioStop), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Digital wellbeing should have the following features:

• taking all keystrokes & mouse clicks & mouse drags.
• keystroke and mouse movement.
  • this metric shows mouse vs keyboard graph. (% of keyboard used over mouse. etc)
• should have open windows and tabs.
• measure ram and disk usage & list of devices connected.
• total screen time time in each app
• read browser information and which apps use more of your memory.
• idle time. (auto power off after 10 mins of inactivity.)
• note volume % with time of connected devices
• note power usage (if possible)
• list how many times sounds are heard (i.e monitoring headphones with times)
• sync with calendar and update the schedule and see if its work and you are not working add it as a missed task.
  • try adding it as a thing not productive (% of distracted from the work.)

commands that are useful

• xev - monitoring the input and output devices such as mouse

  • evtest - this is also an extension of xev with pretty logging events only specific events.

• wmctrl -l -- to list all open windows

• xdotool getwindowfocus getwindowname -- get current focused window (every 5 secs).

• check -> xdotool getwindowfocus getwindowclassname -- get the current class if it is kitty execute the above one to get the window name to determine youtube or any other thing

• also if shown exec sessionizer or t -- means coding as per our thing. this should be configurable setting the rules that is teaching the app how to track it.

IDEAS

• heatmap showing keys pressed over time
• most active hours / peak typing hours
• peak key ranking based on hour/day etc
