About App Usage Tracker

Ever wondered for how much time you use that Facebook app? Is your facebook usage increasing or decreasing?

This App Usage Tracker app tracks what all apps are getting used on the device, and depicts the same in a graphical format. The usage stats can be exported out as well.

Note: This app starts tracking only when it is first launched after install / upgrade. Also, this app doesn't ask for INTERNET permission, so it cannot upload any usage data automatically without your consent.

Features include:

- Get to know what all apps that are not used and can be removed to save space.
- Monitor regularly which apps are used often.
- Usage detail can be exported and/or saved on the device. - The exported details can be sent through installed e-mail service as attachment(Needs an SD Card/Storage).
- Daily notifications with the most used app.
- Disable tracking for certain apps.
- App tracking stops when the phone is locked.
- The usage data can be exported in the form of csv file, which could be sent through mail.
- Older usage data get cleaned up regularly if configured.
- Consumes very less battery.
- Very light weight tracking mechanism.

How to use the app:
- As soon as the app is launched for the first time, the app usage tracking begins.
- For the first launch of the app, the usage report will be empty.
- On the main page, the usage duration can be selected, after which app usage info would be shown.
- Tap on a particular app name in the list, will open up a time-series graph depicting the usage pattern.
- Long press on the app name would show a popup menu using which the app can be launched or uninstalled.
- The circular button on top, can be used for refreshing the usage for selected duration.

Settings details:
- The Usage Tracking can be enabled or disabled.
- The duration of retention for tracking data would be used to clean up older usage data.
- The accuracy of the tracking can also be controlled. There is a tradeoff here. If fine grain accuracy is required it would eat up more CPU and battery. Other levels would be little bit less accurate but would be fair on CPU and battery.
- The default e-mail id on which the mail needs to be sent can also be configured.
- The daily notification is enabled by default. This would trigger a notification automatically at 9 PM with the most used app of the day.
- By default, uninstalled apps would not be shown in the usage report.

Not supported yet:
1. Multi-user support.
2. Multi-window tracking.
3. Facebook chat head tracking.

Procedure to export usage through e-mail:

1. Providing e-mail id in "Email id for export" setting is optional. If provided then the e-mail id would be pre-populated when sending app usage through e-mail.
2. Select the tracking duration on the main page for which usage report need to be generated and send.
3. Click on "Mail" button on top action bar. This will trigger a window listing down all the apps on the device using which the usage can be exported/send/updated.
4. Select the appropriate app to export. If it is an email provider, then the e-mail id provided in Step 1 would be pre-populated. If not, provide the e-mail id on which the e-mail need to be sent.

If you dont open the app now and then it just stops tracking. Useless. Maybe use a pined notification to stop being killed.

O70%
by O####:

I have been using this app for a year now and it is awesome! Only problem is that it doesn't work correctly (doesn't always track even though I open it before I open another app) on my Huawei Mate 9.

X70%
by X####:

I love this app the only thing I coukd see to make it better is if the time for tracking the data was better definde to standard time today, yesterday, this week, last week, this month, last month etc etc.. regardless it is 5☆.

X70%
by X####:

Good app when it works, but it seems that if you don't open it every now and then, it stops tracking, no good if you only want to periodically check usage.

B70%
by B####:

It shows lower usage than actual. It also don't show usage of few apps (i.e. Facebook, SMS etc.) at all. Not very much satisfied that at all. Need lot of improvement.

X70%
by X####:

It provides basic features. But I can not find the chart feature mentioned in screeenshots. I'll switch to QualityTime app anyway.

X70%
by X####:

Suggestion : The app should show icon on status bar or notification area, so that user will know whether it still works or not.

T70%
by T####:

Does not work. Lgg3

B70%
by B####:

Times are pretty inaccurate and the app tracks it own usage even when it's closed.

X70%

It is very good and must have utility software

X70%

Under-estimation

Z70%
by Z####:

Does what it says (but does not work on LG G3 (Lollipop 5.0.1), which is due to LG's Android version).

Z70%
by Z####:

Not completly use..

Z70%
by Z####:

I don't know why, it shows much lower (and unrealistic) usage of the apps. Honor 5x on Android 5.1

V70%
by V####:

Really cool app - the only bad thing about it is that it doesn't use material design.

O70%
by O####:

This app gives exactly what it says and its really good.

Z70%

Excellant

G70%
by G####:

If i don't exit the app but just jump to another used app, it will continue tracking. It happened with several apps including YouTube app and "relay for reddit" app

Z70%
by Z####:

I'd like to see more options for displaying information... graphs, font sizes, etc. I picked this over 3 competitors I tested.

Z70%
by Z####:

It never got any of the times right. It would always say that I had used my apps for about a minute or less even though I had used it a lot more

S70%
by S####:

No apps are tracked. Everything shows as never run. Despite this app having been installed for months.

Z70%
by Z####:

Don't go for negative reviews this app is very useful n thank you developer

Z70%
by Z####:

I wanted to be able to set time periods to monitor, not use preset ones. Also a "yesterday" view not a "past 24 hours" view. Subtle difference I guess, but otherwise this did what I hoped.

Z70%
by Z####:

Thumbs up for this app!

K70%
by K####:

I want notification after using an app for an hour

Z70%
by Z####:

Great idea to monitor self discipline and children

S70%
by S####:

Didn't work, just kept saying "it appears the device is not being used". Tracking was on, it just wasn't doing its job

O70%
by O####:

Ripple effect is not provided. Chart text is not showing complete in the left area even after scroling.
