ScreenForge - Know your screen, Locally. Track smarter. Control better.

by•

Hey Guys,

I’m excited to introduce: ScreenForge, a native Windows dashboard designed to help you understand your digital habits—without compromising your privacy. It's is a lightweight, screen-time tracker built from Electron
""Know your screen. Own your time.""

ScreenForge - Know your screen, Locally. Track smarter. Control better. | Product Hunt

Most of us spend a large part of our day in front of a screen, yet we rarely understand where that time actually goes. Many existing tools require accounts, rely on cloud sync, track user behavior, or lock essential features behind subscriptions.
But...
ScreenForge takes a different approach by quietly tracking app usage, categorizing activity, and presenting clear, meaningful insights, all while keeping your data completely local. No accounts, no cloud, no data collection. Your data stays on your machine, exactly where it belongs.

Key Features

Insights Dashboard
View daily and weekly usage trends through clean, readable visualizations. Track a focus score to better understand productivity patterns, and explore category breakdowns like Productivity, Social, and Entertainment.

App Usage Tracking
See precisely which applications consume your time. ScreenForge provides per-app statistics, usage history, and automatic smart categorization to reduce manual effort.

Notification Monitoring
Identify which apps interrupt you the most. Spot distraction patterns and make informed decisions about where your attention goes.

Themes & UI
Choose from Dark, Light, Tokyo Night, and Skin themes. The interface is modern, minimal, and designed to stay out of your way.

Privacy-First by Design
All data is stored locally. There are no accounts, no cloud services, and no external servers. You fully own and control your data.

Tech Stack

ScreenForge is built using:

  • Electron for a native Windows experience

  • React + TypeScript for a robust UI

  • Vite for fast development

  • Chart.js for data visualization

Why Open Source?

Productivity tools should empower users, not monitor them. ScreenForge is open-source under the MIT license so anyone can inspect the code, contribute improvements, or adapt it to their own needs.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or later

  • ~50 MB RAM usage

  • Less than 100 MB disk space
