Appnames in the Watcher

The issue

Hi, I use ActivityWatch with Chrome and Firefox extensions. But activities are only tracking by tabnames, not by URL in both browsers. For example, with these settings:


or

i have no information about activity

but if I set like this:

my activties appear

Thank you for reporting! This is unfortunately a known issue. I have an example with a fix in our research repo (aw-research) but we haven't yet figured out how to bring it to ActivityWatch in general. I assume many want this feature (I know I do) and it will be available in an upcoming release, but I can't give an estimate of when right now.

Here's the query I mentioned that merges web events into the full timeline of events (which are then classified): https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-research/blob/3d8b70255ccb4c32dc5e3e6ecc3647079633a93e/aw_research/classify.py#L249-L282

It has other issues though (which is why we can't just take it straight from there) but the general problem here is that the web UI does two queries: One for AFK + window events, and one for browser events. To fix this issue we'd need to merge those two queries into one.

[salmivas]

Oh, thanks! Looking forward for updates.

I also am looking forward to the update. My use case is we use workfront for a ticketing system. when in a ticket, it doesn't display anything meaningful to regex on. i.e., only the subject of the ticket is present which makes each window title unique.

[Tenome]

Ahh, so this isn't a feature yet. Unfortunately this means it's useless for tracking, say, Reddit.com since it only counts it if it had Reddit in the tab name. Oh well, hoping it'll get updated in the future.

[ErikBjare]

@Tenome Unfortunately not. However, we just merged ActivityWatch/aw-webui#203 which is about half of the work required. See my comment there ActivityWatch/aw-webui#203 (review) for what else is required to fix this issue :)
