The report comprises the timestamp, window name of an application, and the duration of inactivity in minutes (which can be used for data analysis and filtering).

⌛ Development progress

• Monitor and record the uptime of active windows
• Detect Inactivity
• Log data to csv file
• Read date reports and plot total usage time graphs
• More insightful graphs
• Time goals with real-time progress visualization
• Limit app daily usage time by app name

And maybe something more
