  If you want to do this independent of the PSA agent you can look at ActivityWatch to run on your own systems. If you really want to you can go into the Activity section of the Dashboard and get a pretty detailed view of what you had open, and you can use the Category Builder to auto-assign things to work, social media, etc. Source: 10 months ago

The main purpose of this app is helping with productivity, as it gives you a clue of what you've done on your PC and for how long. Source: 11 months ago
