Automatic screen-time tracking

Let your devices record which apps and sites you spend time on — sessions land on your calendar, categorized by your own rules.

Kaizendex can track your screen time automatically: a small Chrome extension watches which sites you're on, and the desktop app (macOS) watches which apps you use. The results land in a dedicated Activity collection — as real entries, on your calendar, categorized by AI under rules you control.

What you'll see

Calendar blocks per session — "Gaming 19:00–20:30", "Work 9:00–12:30", colored by your Category tags. Open a block and the entry lists the exact apps and sites inside it ("Minecraft 30 min, PUBG 1 h") as sub-entries.
One day-summary entry per day — your total screen time plus a breakdown of categories and top apps, chartable on dashboards.
Everything lives in the Activity collection, created automatically the first time a device reports. It's separate from anything you track manually — the tracker never writes into your own collections.

Tracked time updates every ~10 minutes

Devices batch their reports and send them roughly every 10 minutes, so your current session shows up with a short delay — and the newest block keeps growing as reports arrive. That lag is by design (it keeps the tracker light), not a sign something is broken.

Categories are yours

Sessions are grouped by the Category tag on the Activity collection — seeded with Work, Social, Entertainment, Communication, Gaming, and Other. Edit the pool like any tag pool: rename, recolor, merge down to just Work vs. Leisure. The categorizer follows whatever your pool currently is, using:

Your overrides — "always treat youtube.com as Work".
Your AI instructions — editable in Settings → Tracking or in the AI area's Settings tab (both show the same Categorization card; a sensible default ships built in), e.g. "I'm a streamer: OBS and Twitch are Work".
Built-in knowledge of common apps and sites.

Changed your rules? Use Re-sort past activity (on that same card) to re-sort your recent history — no device has to resend anything.

The AI that sorts your activity is metered like everything else: its model and token spend show in the AI area's Usage tab, where the "By purpose" chart splits your spend across Chat, Logging, and Tracking, in monthly or daily view.

Privacy, plainly

Off until you turn it on, per device. Each device appears in Settings → Tracking with a last-seen time and its own toggle.
Websites are recorded as domains only — youtube.com, never the full address of what you watched.
Window titles are off by default. On macOS, turning them on requires the system Accessibility permission and is a separate opt-in — titles can reveal document or chat contents, so they're never captured silently. When on, they also help the AI categorize better.
Incognito windows are never tracked — Chrome keeps extensions out of incognito, so that browsing is invisible to the tracker.
Never keystrokes, never screenshots.
Idle time doesn't count — if you walk away, the clock stops (watching a video without touching the mouse still counts).

Setting it up

Chrome: install the Kaizendex Screen Time extension, open its popup, connect it to your signed-in Kaizendex tab (or sign in with email), and flip tracking on.
Mac: in the Kaizendex desktop app, open Settings → Tracking and enable tracking for this Mac. Optionally enable window titles (macOS will ask for Accessibility permission).

Both can run on the same machine — Kaizendex merges them so browser time isn't counted twice.
