How RetroSee works.

Install & launch Let RetroSee record automatically Review when it’s useful.

Find where you left off.

After an interruption, check which apps you were using and when.

Illustrative sample data—not your activity.

Your activity, under your control.

Your detailed activity history is stored on your Windows PC during normal use. You don’t need an account to review it.

The app also sends product usage analytics to PostHog EU Cloud by default. This is separate from your detailed activity history. Activity details are shared for external categorization only if you turn that option on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does RetroSee record?

While it runs, RetroSee records the active application, relevant window or page context, and session time to build your personal activity history.

Is RetroSee for monitoring other people or blocking apps?

No. RetroSee helps you review your own computer activity. It is not an app blocker or an employer activity dashboard, and activity history does not establish productivity, completed work or billable hours.

Is RetroSee an automatic time tracker for Windows?

Yes. RetroSee automatically records your active application usage while it runs, so you don't need to manually start and stop timers. It turns that activity into daily summaries you can review later.

Does RetroSee upload my activity data?

Detailed activity history is stored locally on your Windows device during normal operation and is not synced to Ripple Studios. Core tracking works offline. Optional external activity categorization runs only when you enable it. Separately, default-on pseudonymous product analytics uses PostHog EU Cloud; it does not receive your detailed activity history or Note content. See our Privacy Policy for the data-handling details.

Can I delete my activity history?

Yes. You can delete stored activity history from RetroSee. This does not clear your Notes, categorization rules, trust choices or preferences. Notes can be cleared individually.

What are Notes in RetroSee?

Notes are optional entries you write yourself. Add a dated Note to remember an idea, a decision or what to try next. RetroSee records activity automatically while it runs, even if you never write a Note.

Which platforms does RetroSee support?

The current public RetroSee beta supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 on x64 devices. This website does not offer a released Android, iOS or macOS application.

How much activity history can I see?

RetroSee provides daily summaries and Trends, which lets you explore activity patterns across your recent history.

Is RetroSee free for personal use?

Yes. RetroSee is free for personal use during the early beta. No account or card is required for the available personal features.

How will RetroSee sustain itself?

RetroSee is currently free for personal use during beta. If paid options are introduced later, they will support additional value rather than selling or monetizing your activity history.
