aw-watcher-afk

Watches your keyboard and mouse activity to determine if you are AFK (away from keyboard) or not. By default, a period of at least 3 minutes inactivity is flagged as AFK.

How to install

To install the pre-built application, go to https://activitywatch.net/downloads/

To build your own packaged application, run make package

To install the latest git version directly from github without cloning, run pip install git+https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-afk.git

To install from a cloned version, cd into the directory and run poetry install to install inside an virtualenv. If you want to install it system-wide it can be installed with pip install ., but that has the issue that it might not get the exact version of the dependencies due to not reading the poetry.lock file.

Windows unexpected input diagnostic

For controller-related or unexplained Windows activity, see the read-only input diagnostic. It compares Windows idle time with aggregate mouse/keyboard injection flags without recording input content or changing AFK behavior.
