Love the idea and hopeful it works, but on my Pixel 6 it can stay open at most 5 seconds before crashing. Hate to see it.

Looks like it works fine. I've using AW in my desktop for several months but this is the first time I'm using AW in my android. Recommended for everyone ✅

Its promising, but it really undercounts the time I spend in many apps, especially TikTok. I spent 1.5 hours on TikTok today, but ActivityWatch only tracked 30min. I know this is wrong compared to StayFree/Pixel 6's Digital Wellbeing app because there are chunks of time where I was in TikTok but the timeline shows them as blank. The desktop version works better, I hope the Android version improves soon.
