# aw-watcher-tmux - An activity watcher for tmux

A tmux plugin that allows monitoring activity in sessions and panes with [ActivityWatch](https://activitywatch.net).

Watches for activity in multiple tmux sessions and reports `session_name`, `window_name`, `pane_title`, `pane_current_command`, and `pane_current_path`.

The plugin has been tested on Linux and is expected to work also on macOS and on Windows in Cygwin.

aw-watcher-tmux creates a new bucket. The existence of this bucket can be checked with [http://localhost:5600/api/0/buckets/aw-watcher-tmux](http://localhost:5600/api/0/buckets/aw-watcher-tmux).

All activity recorded in this bucket can be seen on [http://localhost:5600/#/timeline](http://localhost:5600/#/timeline)
