Description
ActivityPulse turns desktop activity into per-project hours you can invoice. A Windows and macOS agent captures which app is in the foreground — never keystrokes, never your screen. Sensitive capture is off by default and each org gets its own database.

Could you build this?
Partial While the web dashboard and database architecture are straightforward, building low-level, permissioned OS-level background agents for both Windows and macOS that reliably track foreground window focus without triggering malware flags requires native OS development.
What it would actually take: The desktop agent requires Swift/Objective-C using macOS Accessibility and NSWorkspace APIs, and C#/C++ using Win32 hooks (GetForegroundWindow/SetWinEventHook), paired with proper code signing and notarization. The backend can use Node.js/PostgreSQL with multi-tenant schema isolation. The hard part is packaging cross-platform desktop daemons that handle OS permissions, sleep/wake cycles, battery optimization, and avoiding OS antivirus heuristics.
