aw-watcher-web

A cross-browser WebExtension that serves as a web browser watcher for ActivityWatch.

Usage

Install for your browser:

• Chrome
• Firefox

Firefox Enterprise Policy

Note

Due to Mozilla Add-on Policy, this is not possible with the Mozilla-hosted versions of the extension. You will need to fork the extension and change a hardcoded value to make this work.

Due to the above issue, a privacy notice must be displayed to comply with the Mozilla Add-on Policy. This can be pre-accepted by setting the following Firefox Enterprise Policy:

{
    "policies": {
        "3rdparty": {
            "Extensions": {
                "{ef87d84c-2127-493f-b952-5b4e744245bc}": {
                    "consentOfflineDataCollection": true
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Building

First, clone the repo with:

git pull --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-web.git
# or, normal `git pull` and then:
git submodule update --init

Then build with:

make build

The resulting aw-watcher-web.zip can then be loaded into your browser in development mode. (for Firefox, loading unsigned extensions is only possible in Firefox Nightly and Developer Edition).

For further build instructions, refer to the Makefile.
