I’m self employed. I need to record how much time I spend on whatever task for whatever client.
Sounds simple, but I’m terrible at it. I always get to the end of the day without having recorded anything and not knowing what I’ve actually done.
Basically, I’d like to create a text log of the active window title, and take a screen cap.
I’d like to do this periodically as in every 15 minutes or so.
For the text log I just haven’t been able to achieve this at all.
For the screen caps I can use flameshot to take a screenshot from the CLI, but it makes a sound and shows an animation which is sub-optimal.
Any suggestions of where to look much appreciated.
I had a play around with this. Thanks for the suggestion.
It seems to use pipewire to capture the desktop. I can’t get pipewire to watch more than one monitor at a time. On this basis it’s a non-starter unfortunately. Screen cap tools can get the entire desktop.
