3. Install: open the folder and double-click Install Screen Time Tracker.
4. Choose: answer one question: "Start automatically every time you turn on your PC?"
   • Yes (recommended): it runs by itself in the background. You never have to start it.

Done! Look for the small 🕐 clock icon near the time (bottom-right of your screen). Click it, or press Ctrl + Alt + S, to see your screen time.

❓ Common questions

---

• Plain C# (C# 5) WinForms, built with the compiler that ships with Windows: run build.bat.
• launch.ps1 compiles src\*.cs in memory and runs it. This is how the installed app runs, so it also works where Windows Smart App Control blocks unsigned .exe files.
• tools\package.ps1 builds ScreenTimeTracker.zip (installer + guide + app).
• Handy flags: --data <folder> --seed-demo (sample data), --snapshot out.png --view day|week|month|log|work, --report out.pdf, --wrapped out.png, --dialog settings, --selftest out.txt.
• Main files: Tracker.cs (the 1-second sampler), Store.cs (data), Dash*.cs (dashboard), Report.cs (PDF), Insights.cs, Work.cs, Browser.cs, Clock.cs, WinEvents.cs.
