This is a simple time tracker for OS X, originally written by @nat in python2. Well, tough I have some ideas on this project, for now, it is just an upgrade to python3.
If you run the download the original script and run python trackmac.py through terminal, you will still have see the magic and get a simple time tracker! What an amazing job! 10 years ahead, still runs like clockwork!
However, even tough python2 is still accesible within mac terminal, it may soon be out ouf mac, according to the article for macOS Catalina 10.15 Release Notes. That's why, in an attempt to make this project ongoing, I will be rewriting it using python3!
Finally, this is what my trackmac shows since I've forked the repository!

# screensaver delay or use a hot corner to improve accuracy.
