Screen time

See how long you were really at your PC.

Pulse separates active time from time away, so a lunch break or a meeting doesn’t count. Check today, this week or any past week. Free, like everything else in Pulse.

How it works

  1. 1

    Runs quietly

    Pulse sits in the system tray and counts while you use your PC.

  2. 2

    Knows when you’re away

    After 5 minutes without input it stops counting, and it pauses when your PC is locked or asleep.

  3. 3

    Shows the pattern

    Open Screen time to see today, page back through past weeks, or jump to any date.

What you get

  • Today, weekly and past-week views
  • Daily totals, longest sessions and weekly averages
  • Pauses after 5 minutes away, unless you’re watching or listening
