Tracking

Tracking is a handy tool that keeps tabs on what your Mac is up to in a way that's super easy to understand. This app logs events related to your apps, system, screen, and even volumes.

Easy Access with the Tracking Interface

The interface for Tracking is designed to be simple and not get in your way. You'll find an unobtrusive status bar menulet that gives you quick access to the main window of the app. Plus, you can export logs to CSV format or clear records whenever you need.

What Does Tracking Record?

By default, Tracking keeps track of all sorts of events. If you're curious about what's running on your Mac, just hit the “Process” button! You'll see a list of all currently active processes along with details like process status, owner, date, and time.

Your Activity Logs

The logs from Tracking automatically note every time an app gets launched, activated, deactivated, or hidden. It also records when your system goes to sleep or wakes up and tracks session activations and spaces activity.

Monitoring Screen and Volume Events

This app doesn't stop there! It also monitors when your screen goes into sleep mode or wakes back up. When it comes to volumes, if you mount or unmount one—or even rename it—Tracking will log that too!

Browsing Your Logs

The nice thing about these logs is they continuously track details about system activity as things happen. If you're looking for info on something specific, you just need to browse through the log entries.

Limitations and Workarounds

However, keep in mind that Tracking doesn't have search support or customization options built-in. But don't worry! Since it can export info as CSV files, you can easily import those logs into other apps for searching.

A Simple Solution for Monitoring

In summary, Tracking is a straightforward solution for keeping an eye on your Mac's activity. Just remember that while it's great at logging everything automatically, its sorting and searching features are pretty basic. To download this software visit this link.
