When checking the hours that our Mac is running, in the Mac App Store we can find different applications that create a record that allows us know at all times when our Mac has been turned on, asleep or completely off. Today we are talking about an application that allows us to know this information at all times: Sleep-Wake Logger, an application that has a usual price of 1,09 euros, but for a limited time we can download completely free of charge through the link that you I leave at the end of this article.
This application is ideal for when we want to know if our Mac has been used by someone in our absence, either at work or at home. The application can be configured to run as soon as we start our computer so that it is working in the background continuously recording our activity to create different graphics where all the information related to the operation of our Mac will be displayed. The information is displayed in a graph where we can see in different colors the hours that our Mac has been on, the hours that it has been idle and the hours that it has been completely off.
If we want to have a complete record of the hours that our Mac is in operation, the application allows us to export detailed information of the graphics in files with CSV format, so that we can open them in a spreadsheet to control this information at all times and create a plan to try to prevent our Mac from being used when we are not present or be a little more careful with the idle hours in which our Mac is on but it is not doing any work, in order to save energy and avoid unnecessary wear and tear on our Mac.
