TimeScope 0.2.0 — Reliability & Insights
TimeScope 0.2.0 — Reliability & Insights 🕒
A free, open-source, privacy-first RescueTime alternative for Windows. All data stays local — no cloud, no account, no telemetry.
🛠️ Reliability fixes
- Fixed tracking wedging after sleep/suspend. When Windows dropped the resume/unlock event (common with modern-standby sleep), tracking could silently stop recording. The tracker now self-heals the moment real input returns, backed by a 60-second health watchdog and a resume handler that restart the poll loop. No more "yesterday shows 0" — your data was always safe on disk; now it always displays correctly too.
- Added a local log file (
logs/timescope.login your data folder) to make any future issue easy to diagnose.
✨ New features
- Tray menu: added Open Data Folder and Restart TimeScope, and the status line now clearly shows
● Tracking is ON/● Tracking is PAUSED. - Sidebar tracking indicator is now a clear, clickable toggle — green pulsing = on, amber = idle, red = paused. Click to pause/resume.
- Settings: added Open data folder and Restart app buttons.
- New "Insights" section on the Overview page: most-used app, top category, longest focus stretch, productive share, daily average, and most-active day.
🔒 Privacy
Unchanged and still the top priority: no keystrokes, passwords, clipboard, screenshots, or message/form content are ever recorded. Everything stays in a local SQLite database on your machine.
