Take control of your digital habits with the most precise, chronological app logger available for Automate. 🕹️📱
⭐ (Free, No subscription required— 1-min Manual Setup)
Most screen-time trackers only tell you how long you used an app. But this tells "both- when and how long" by logging exactly when you open apps and when you lock your device. In a nutshell how you lived your digital life 🔍🕒
Everything is saved in a local, clean, private, tab-separated text file—giving you total ownership of your digital footprint. 🛡️🔑✅
📄 How the Data Looks
The log provides a high-definition view of your session durations and device idle time:

🔥 Why It’s Better and Different
🛡️ Total Privacy: 100% offline. No accounts, no cloud, and zero data-sharing. Your history stays in your folder.
📉 Gap Analysis: Track "The Gaps"—see exactly how long your phone sits locked to measure true focus time versus "reflex" checking.
🧠 Behavioral Insights: Identify "Reflex Loops." Do you open Social Media every time you close a work app? See the pattern, break the habit.
🤖 Smart Analysis: Upload your logs to Gemini or ChatGPT to analyze your behavior, or open them in Excel for a deep-dive audit.
♾️ Infinite History: Unlike system trackers that wipe data every few weeks, your logs are permanent until you delete them.
⚠️ Note: This version requires only one-time manual folder setup (see Quick Start).

🛡️ Is Automate Safe?
Works Offline: Everything stays on your phone. You can even disable the app's internet access and it will work perfectly.
Zero Ads: There are no ads or hidden trackers. The developer makes money from premium features, not your data.
Please don't hesitate to Google yourself if you still have any concerns about safety and privacy.
