The record

Purpose: Hikage records app and website activity locally so users can review their usage timeline.
Automatic recording: Hikage records app switches in the background without manual timing.
Away detection: Hikage combines keyboard and mouse activity, playback status, and sleep state to estimate actual screen time.
Statistics: Hikage provides daily, monthly, per-app, sunburst, treemap, and app-stream statistics.
Relationship graph: Hikage combines app switch counts with each app’s share of switches in a relationship graph.
Calendar integration: Hikage can generate calendar event candidates from activity records and write them to Apple Calendar with permission.
Usage reminders: Hikage can remind users when a focus session ends, it is time to stand, or a time limit is reached.
Browser support: Website recording supports Safari, Google Chrome, Chromium, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc, and Firefox.
Customization: Users can create categories and subcategories, merge or exclude statistics items, and customize statistics layouts.
Privacy: Hikage does not record actual keystrokes, typed text, pointer coordinates, clipboard contents, window titles, screen images, or media titles.
Website data: For enabled browsers, Hikage normally saves only the hostname, browser identity, time, and private-browsing status rather than complete URLs.
Security: Local activity databases, backups, and exports have no additional Hikage application-layer encryption, and CSV and JSON exports are directly readable text.
Support: Hikage provides support through [email protected] for problems, feature suggestions, purchases, activation, and other feedback.
License limit: A personal license normally permits activation on up to two devices and cannot be shared with family members, colleagues, or teams.
