How it works

Install once.
It handles the rest.

1

Install & choose a vault

Pick any folder on your machine — Documents, a USB, your Dropbox. That's where your data lives. Human-readable JSON you can open in any editor.

2

It runs in the background

Every second, Deskly checks the foreground window using Windows UI Automation. No browser extension, no proxy, no kernel driver. Just reads the window title.

3

See exactly where time went

Dashboard shows today at a glance. Reports show week, month, year, all-time. Best day, worst day, weekday patterns, top apps, category breakdown — all yours.

Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

No bloat, no subscription, no upsell. A focused tool that does its job well.

Browser intelligence

Knows which site you're on across 56 browsers. Chrome, Brave, Arc, Tor, Zen — no extension, no proxy. Detects 88 websites automatically.

Every app, every second

Win32, UWP, PWAs. 1-second polling via UI Automation API. Sub-second accumulator means zero time lost on app switches.

App limits

Daily time caps with a soft overlay that follows the app. Three 5-minute extensions per day, then it's done. Respects your decision.

Deep reports

Week, month, year, all-time up to 5 years. Best and worst days, weekday patterns, top 15 apps, category breakdown with percentages.

Goals & streaks

Set a daily target. Build streaks. Unlock 10 achievements — First Step, Hat Trick, Weekly Warrior, all the way to Monthly Master.

Break reminders

Five rotating types: eye rest (20-20-20), deep breathing, movement, hydration, mental reset. Configurable 20–60 minute intervals.

Custom categories

Group apps and sites into Development, Social, Entertainment — or create your own. 12 colors, custom labels, AI-powered suggestions.

Export everything

Full JSON dump or structured CSV with columns: date, app, category, duration. Your data is never locked in. Ever.

System tray native

Runs silently in the background. Shows today's time at a glance. Pause tracking, quick resume, double-click to open. Starts with Windows.

Who it's for

A real digital wellbeing system for daily Windows life

Deskly is built for people who want more than raw numbers. It helps you understand patterns, reduce distraction, and make healthier screen decisions every day.

Students trying to stay focused

Understand exactly where study time leaks, then use app and website limits to protect your learning blocks.

Professionals building deep-work habits

Track switching between tools, uncover your biggest attention drains, and build stronger focus routines with daily awareness.

People reducing unhealthy browsing cycles

See browsing behavior clearly, set practical boundaries, and replace mindless usage with intentional time.

Anyone improving digital wellbeing

Use weekly and monthly reports to reflect, adjust, and improve over time. Deskly is designed as a long-term companion, not a one-time utility.

Privacy

Your data never leaves
your machine.

Everything lives in a local folder you choose — like Obsidian for your screen time. Move it to a USB, sync it with Dropbox, or delete it entirely. Your call.
