CurrentKey Stats - A Triple Threat App

CurrentKey Stats has several target audiences.

• Time tracking your app usage and time spent working. Unlike Apple's Screentime, CurrentKey Stats only tracks an app when it is in the foreground, not the whole time it is open to give you a more accurate view of your time.
• Controlling movement between spaces. CurrentKey Stats lets you name each space with a descriptive name and lets you move between them with a menu bar icon or a hot key combo.
• Automators who want to trigger certain actions tied to individual workspaces.

For time trackers, you can dedicate a task to a certain space/desktop on your computer and the app will give you a dedicated report for just what happens within that space. You use your browser for work and play, so just getting stats on your usage wouldn't necessarily be helpful unless you could tie that usage to a certain project. You can get reports that give insights into your last month, past two weeks compared hour-by-hour, and get you the ability to export your data in over 10 different reports! You can even set up automatically-generated weekly reports.

For those wanting more control over their spaces (the app calls them "rooms"), CurrentKey Stats lets you choose a different icon, color and name to be shown in your menu bar for each room. macOS lets you have up to 16 per display. With hotkeys you can move between them using the keyboard.

For automators, you can trigger AppleScripts whenever you enter a certain room. The workflows you could generate this way include automatically bring a specific app to the front, take a screenshot, mute the volume, toggle macOS dark mode, activate LED desk lights, trigger an IFTTT routine, selectively start/stop a timer based on what Room you are in or App is active. You can even pass parameters along to a Python script.

There is extensive information on Applescript usage and automation on the developer's website.

CurrentKey Stats is available on the App Store. It offers a one month free trial. It is a subscription app costing $2.49 a month and there doesn't appear to be an option for a yearly subscription or a lifetime purchase.
