ActivityWatch has a modular architecture that includes a server component for storing and analyzing the collected data.

• aw-server, an official server implementation written in Python
• aw-server-rust, an official server implementation written in Rust for improved performance

The ActivityWatch ecosystem provides client libraries to help developers interact with the ActivityWatch server API and create custom watchers, integrations, extensions, or applications. Here are the official client libraries:

• aw-client, a client library written in Python
• aw-client-js, a client library written in JavaScript/TypeScript
• aw-client-rust, a client library written in Rust

Alternative ways to run ActivityWatch, or simply view the data using another interface.

• aw-tauri (WIP), experimental/alternative distribution of ActivityWatch using Tauri
• Workflow, basic screentime application using GTK
• Codewatch
• activitywatch-plasmoid, a KDE Plasma widget for ActivityWatch
• yet-another-UI-for-AW, a native UI for ActivityWatch with Japanese localization (announcement forum post)

• aw-watcher-window (default), window and application usage tracker
• aw-watcher-afk (default), tracks if the user is AFK or not
• aw-watcher-web, browser extension for tracking web activity
• aw-watcher-vim, tracks time spent in Vim editor
• aw-watcher-vscode, tracks time spent in Visual Studio Code
