Screen Light
Understand how you spend your time on your Mac
Type:
Free
Screenlight is a macOS app that serves as a better alternative to Apple’s Screen Time. It tracks how you spend your time across apps and websites on your Mac, giving you a detailed breakdown of your usage. A few things that stand out:
Privacy-first — all data stays local on your device, never leaving your machine.
Performance-focused — built with Rust and DuckDB under the hood, so it’s lightweight and fast.
Works across apps and websites — not just native apps, but also your browser activity.
In short, it’s a simple, private screen time tracker for people who want better insight into their Mac usage without sending data to the cloud.
