AffinityJan Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Dear Affinity Team, I'm in the process of creating a huge ass portfolio of my works. During the process it came to my mind, that some readers and customers might be interested to know, how much time I have spend on each of my works. Obviously, it would be a solution to measure things on my own (which seems hard to apply for previous projects) but I figured, it might be a neat feature, if the Affinity Suit had some sort of tracking system incorporated. Surely, it can't be said, that the time a document has been opened, equals the time actually spend working on it (idle time, coffee breaks and so on), but it makes for a reasonable start. To further improve the accuracy, two ideas came to my mind: Track the users actvity and create an average APM. If the downtime gets out of hand, take it as a break. Show Document opened. Estimated work time. Give the user an interface to start, pause, continue the tracking. Cheers, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaoloT Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 At least on the Mac, there are some apps doing this. I've seen some that can track several apps at the same time, and calculate the time a window has been on the foreground. If I'm not wrong the iPad does this at system level. Look for something like 'time tracker', or the like. Paolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AffinityJan Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 Oh you mean tools like Workplus, ActivityWatch, toggl track, ManicTime, RescueTime and so on. Yeah that could ease the pain a bit. Thanks for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 This sort of thing has already been requested, for example: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/1042-document-statistic-time-spent-by-work-session-and-total-time-spent-on-document-file/ AffinityJan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
