App Usage Statistics: Settings

The Settings page is for configuring data collection rules and data maintenance. It is primarily for desktop app (Electron) users.

Stats settings page

1) Idle Detection​

When you haven't used your keyboard or mouse for an extended period, the app can treat that time as "idle" to avoid attributing time away from your computer to a particular app.

The Settings page typically provides:

  • Idle threshold (e.g., N seconds/minutes without input)
  • How idle time is handled (depends on the version)

2) Ignored Apps List​

Some apps you may not want tracked (e.g., input method software, background system utilities).

The Settings page typically lets you:

  • Add/remove app names from the ignore list
  • Clear the entire ignore list at once

3) Clear Statistics Data (Destructive Action)​

You can clear app usage data for a specific time range or all data at once.

Note:

  • Cleared data is generally not recoverable (unless you have server-side backup/restore capability)
  • It's recommended to only use this when you've confirmed an issue with your stats logic or tag configuration
