Selfspy is a Python daemon that continuously logs user activity on the computer—keystrokes, window titles, and clipboard content—storing it in a database for personal statistics. It is inspired by the Quantified Self movement and works on Linux/X11, macOS, and Windows.

Use cases

  • track everything I do on my computer for personal statistics
  • quantified self activity logging
  • log keystrokes and window usage for personal analytics
  • remember what I was working on last week
  • analyze my computer usage habits

When to choose

  • you want detailed local logging of your computer activity for self-analysis
  • you are on Linux/X11, macOS, or Windows and comfortable with Python 2.7 tooling
  • you want a self-hosted, privacy-conscious personal data logger

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained tool—last release was 2019 and it only supports Python 2.7
  • you need modern OS support (Wayland, recent macOS security models)
  • you are uncomfortable with keystroke logging on your machine
