SYSTEM ACTIVITY TRACKER

Abstract


System Activity Tracker is a tool that helps users and teams protect their computers. It is a place where you can see exactly what is happening with your files, apps, and connected devices at any time. System Activity Tracker makes it so you do not have to use many different security programs. It has file system monitoring, productivity tracking, and a dashboard where all system logs are shown together. System Activity Tracker is built with modern technology like React, Electron, and Python. It uses SQLite and Supabase to make sure everything is in sync across the cloud. This report is about how System Activity Tracker is put together, how it records every file change, and how it is designed to keep your system safe. System Activity Tracker is a tool that can help teams keep their data secure and be more aware of their work habits. It is really good for people who want to protect their hardware. Additionally, System Activity Tracker integrates cloud-powered security alerts, custom folder tracking, and external platforms like Resend for email reports. These features enhance security by automatically sending alerts for suspicious deletions and enabling deep monitoring of any folder on the device.
