Gnome extension on KDE?
Gnome extension on KDE?
I know the title sounds a little strange but hear me out. The time tracking software I use for work doesn’t work on Wayland, unless I’m using Gnome as my DE. They have an extension that allows it to work in this case. Personally, I don’t enjoy Gnome on my desktop (I use it on my laptop). Is there a way for me to get the functionality that this extension provides on KDE so that I can use Wayland on my desktop as well?
Time tracking software:
Linux install script:
EDIT: I have included more files in the codeberg repo. I hope this helps.

Looks useful. So this software detects how long you spend on what app?
This may be compositor dependent but just a guess. Thats a problem of Wayland (currently)
The port will be huge and just making the extension run not enough.
Pretty much. My company has it set to track the following:
- Periodic screenshots
- Mouse and keyboard activity
- Apps used
- URLs visited
All of this is combined to determine how active you were (as a percentage), you can then try and determine how much time was spent on productive vs non-productive work. However, we use it as a glorified timesheet.
If the tracking software is open source what is stopping employees from changing source code to their advantage ?
It’s not open source. I just added it to codeberg for easy sharing to ask this question
I dont think they actually take screenshots, do they? That would be awfully inefficient. You can get the window titles in better ways.
the URL stuff should use a browser extension to tell them that name.
If that app really takes screenshots and extracts URLs from them, it is pretty overcomplex. But that improves platform-independence a lot
It takes screenshots that get posted to a user dashboard for management to check if needed.
I don't have anything useful to say but that sounds fixing dystopian.
