Within the access you allow, Hikage automatically records app and website activity on your Mac, then uses keyboard and mouse activity, playback activity, and sleep state to determine your actual screen time. Activity records are stored only on this Mac by default.

Then use charts to reconstruct your time

You can follow your app stream over time

The app stream reconstructs the real flow of context across your day.

You can also see each app’s share of your usage time

See how your apps connect

Hikage combines switch counts with each app’s share of those switches in an intuitive relationship graph.

Look back on life through your calendar

Hikage uses your activity records and specified rules to generate calendar event candidates, then writes them to Apple Calendar with your permission so you can revisit how you spent your time.

Remind you at the right time

Hikage can use your activity records to remind you when a focus session ends, it is time to stand, or a time limit is reached, helping you live a healthier, more self-directed life.

While you continue the same activity, Hikage can remind you at your chosen interval to notice the passage of time.

Time Awareness Reminder

Hikage values your privacy. Activity records are stored only locally by default, and content unrelated to statistics is not recorded.
