Windows screen time tracker that helps you build better digital habits
Deskly tracks how you spend time across apps and websites on Windows. See where your day goes, reduce distractions, set healthy limits, and stay intentional with focus.
Understand time patterns
Reports and category insights make it easier to notice where focus is lost. Week, month, year — up to 5 years of history.
Set practical limits
Use app and website limits to reduce unhealthy overuse and protect deep work sessions without hard blocking.
Stay private
Local-first storage keeps your data on your own machine. No cloud dependency required — your screen time never leaves your computer.
How Deskly tracks your screen time
No setup ritual, no browser extension to babysit — install once and tracking runs quietly in the background from then on.
1. Install and run in the background
Deskly starts with Windows and tracks the active app and browser tab automatically — nothing to remember to turn on each day.
2. Usage is categorized automatically
Apps and sites are grouped into categories like Work, Social, and Entertainment so patterns are visible without manual tagging.
3. Review daily, weekly, or yearly reports
Open the dashboard any time to see today's breakdown, or zoom out to spot trends across weeks, months, and years.
4. Act on what you see
Turn insight into change with app and website limits, a focus session, or the app blocker — all built on the same usage data.
A daily total tells you how much. A timeline tells you when.
Most screen time trackers stop at a single number: "4h 12m today." That's a start, but it doesn't explain when your attention drifted or which session ran long. Deskly's dashboard leads with clear daily and weekly totals, then lets you drop into the screen time timeline for a minute-by-minute view of the day — every app, every session, in order.
- See the exact moment you switched from work into a distraction.
- Spot which meetings or tasks reliably run over.
- Compare today's pattern against yesterday's, not just the totals.

Developers and knowledge workers

Who is this useful for?
Students, professionals, and anyone who wants healthier digital wellbeing routines on Windows 10 or 11.
Does Deskly track individual websites, or just browser time?
Deskly tracks individual website visits inside 56 supported browsers, not just total browser time, so you can see time spent on specific sites.
Does it slow down my PC?
No. Deskly runs as a lightweight native Windows background process with minimal CPU and memory footprint — it's built to be always-on without being noticeable.
How far back can I see my screen time history?
Deskly keeps up to 5 years of usage history, so you can review weekly, monthly, and yearly trends, not just today.

No internet connection is required for tracking — everything runs and is stored locally. An account is only needed if you choose to sync settings across devices.
