.. note::
macOS >10.15 (Catalina) introduced some complications for running ActivityWatch (privacy and application permissions). See :issue:`334` for post-install steps needed to allow ActivityWatch to read the current active window / application (without these steps, ActivityWatch may not start and will show window and application names as ``unknown``).

Download the ``.dmg`` for the `latest release from GitHub <https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/releases>`_ and drag the ``.app`` to your Applications folder as usual, then add it to your autostart applications.

You probably want to make ActivityWatch start automatically on login using your operating system's autostart settings.
For some installation methods (Windows installer, AUR package) this is done automatically, but if you don't use those methods you'll have to do it yourself. Searching the web for "autostart application <your operating system>" should get you some good results that don't take long. You want to start the ``aw-qt`` executable in the application directory.
