aw-watcher-afk-barrier

ActivityWatch AFK Watcher for Barrier

What is it for?

A custom watcher for users using ActivityWatch together with Barrier

Watches your keyboard and mouse activity to determine if you are AFK or not

Replaces default aw-watcher-afk

How to install

To build your own packaged application, run make package

To install the latest git version directly from github without cloning, run pip install git+https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-afk-barrier.git

To install from a cloned version, cd into the directory and run poetry install to install inside an virtualenv. If you want to install it system-wide it can be installed with pip install ., but that has the issue that it might not get the exact version of the dependencies due to not reading the poetry.lock file.

Instructions

Needs to run only on Barrier host.

1. Disable default ActivityWatch aw-watcher-afk. For quick testing, you can just right-click on the tray icon and in modules deselect aw-watcher-afk, but if you want a permament solution, see ErikBjare comment
2. Run it via poetry run aw-watcher-afk-barrier

You can also make it autostart:

1. make package
2. ln -s dist/aw-watcher-afk-barrier/aw-watcher-afk-barrier /usr/bin/
3. Go to ~/.config/activitywatch/aw-qt/aw-qt.toml and add aw-watcher-afk-barrier to autostart_modules
