I'd be curious to quantify the battery usage of AW's server on Android. I'm currently running a customized version of ActivityWatch (very much in progress and buggy) that tracks notifications, local multimedia sessions, phone/video calls, Chrome browser history, and even Chromecast and Google Home casting sessions. These services run constantly run in the background, using sticky/persistent "foreground" notifications, and via accessibility APIs. I've used the same strategies while experimenting with 24/7 audio recording. My battery drains more quickly than usual, but I haven't measured how much and to what degree each of these watchers influence it. Perhaps I need to add a battery watcher next. I suspect that my ChromeWatcher implementation uses quite a bit of resources in the way it uses the accessibility service. I can think of a few ways to optimize it, but I won't do that until I establish a baseline for battery consumption. I do wonder how much power AW's server consumes compared to a SQLite database or a simple log file.

I haven't really looked into it. My current hope is that @miguelrochefort <https://github.com/miguelrochefort>'s solution works well and that we could get something similar to work for Firefox. — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.
