Automatically Log Active Window Over Time Software Description
If you want to know which applications are the most used on your computer over an extended period of time, you may benefit from using Automatically Log Active Window Over Time Software.
It is a lightweight application that records which program windows are active at specific intervals and writes the data to a text file. It is a simple tool, but features an out-of-date interface and does not offer any documentation.
Record active window status
You can choose how often window activity should be logged and the application offers multiple preset intervals. These can be changed even while the logging operation is active, but it is not possible to specify a custom value.
The application can simply record which window is on top at various intervals, but can also save the name of the previously active window.
Additionally, it is possible to manually record the current window status, but given that this requires the program window to be active, it can only be useful for testing purposes.
Save gathered data to a text file
The recorded information is automatically saved to a TXT document, but it is not possible to choose where the log file is stored, requiring you to manually save another copy to a desired location on your computer.
You can also copy the recorded data to the clipboard, then paste it in a text editor of your choice. However, only the first entry in the log seems to be copied, reducing the function’s effectiveness.
Features an outdated user interface and lacks documentation
The application offers an out-of-date interface that would benefit from being redesigned, as it looks out of place when run on modern operating systems.
Also, there is no documentation available, which may have proven useful for some users.
All in all, this is a simple piece of software, designed to help you record active window status over time, allowing you to view which applications are being used at various preset intervals.
