## 🚀 Maintenance Status
As you might have noticed, the project is not maintained super actively anymore due to changing priorities of the involved people. However, the most important [data trackers](https://github.com/HASEL-UZH/PersonalAnalytics/blob/dev-am/documentation/ARCHITECTURE.md#data-trackers) were ported to run on both `Windows` and `macOS` using `Typescript` and some OS-native code. They are OSS, actively used and maintained here:
As you might have noticed, the project was not maintained super actively anymore due to changing priorities of the involved people. However, the most important [data trackers](https://github.com/HASEL-UZH/PersonalAnalytics/blob/dev-am/documentation/ARCHITECTURE.md#data-trackers) were ported to run on both `Windows` and `macOS` using `Typescript` and some OS-native code. They are OSS, actively used and maintained here:
- [WindowsActivityTracker](https://github.com/HASEL-UZH/PA.WindowsActivityTracker/tree/main/typescript) that allows to log the timestamp, app name and window title of the currently active window, in addition to an automated catgorization into the `Activity` (method described in this [publication](https://andre-meyer.ch/TSE20).
- [UserInputTracker](https://github.com/HASEL-UZH/PA.UserInputTracker/tree/main/typescript) that allows to log moue movement, clicks, scrolls and keystrokes with timestamps (not actual keys, only the type (any, navigate, delete) for privacy reasons)
In 2024, we've started porting the original PersonalAnalytics for Windows (written in C#) to Electron and hope to have an update at the end of Q1'2024.
