ScreenOn

ScreenOn is an application to measure how much time an user spends on their phone. It is composed of an Automate flow, and a web application with a Polymer frontend and a Python/Flask backend.

I described it in a dedicated blog post

DISCLAIMER: in its current state, this application is not meant to be hosted on the internet. It's recommended to host this application on a host in a local network (eg on a Raspberry Pi).

Build the frontend part (from Polymer-CLI)

Install the Polymer-CLI

First, make sure you have the Polymer CLI installed. Then run polymer serve to serve your application locally.

Viewing Your Application

$ polymer serve

Building Your Application

$ polymer build

This will create builds of your application in the build/ directory, optimized to be served in production.

Configure the webserver

See the provided basic nginx.conf file. If you already use pi-hole, you can add a special domain name to the local DNS server.

Backend

Build the backend

$ virtualenv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -e .

Run the backend

$ bash run_app.sh

Automate flow

You need to install Automate on your phone.

  • Import the "Screen tracker.flo" file from the application
  • Execute the "Config" flow
  • Edit the "Backup" flow to change the URL of the backup server
  • Launch the "Start" flow to start screen changes recording
