Gameplay Time Tracker vs RoTracker

Gameplay Time Tracker records time spent in selected games and applications by monitoring their executables. Its Windows desktop interface can launch tracked programs and display a graph of the past seven days of playtime. It also handles remote game-save backups: create them manually or have them run when a session ends, retain them for a chosen number of days, and restore a save by selecting an available backup. A SteamGridDB API key enables retrieval of application icons and hero images. The project describes the app as written in C# with WPF and licensed under GNU GPL version 3.0, which permits use, modification, and distribution under that license. Settings are generated in the user's Documents folder under Gameplay Time Tracker/settings.json. The documented configuration uses Windows-specific paths and startup-folder behavior. Version 2.0.0 removed legacy data conversion; the project recommends converting legacy data with a pre-2.0.0 build. The app is free, with no free trial listed.

RoTracker is a web service for monitoring Roblox activity. It shows games played, time spent, and activity patterns in daily, weekly, and yearly views. A game library records play history and session counts, while live updates show what is being played now. Streak tracking covers current and longest streaks. Multiple Roblox accounts can be linked to one dashboard, after ownership verification enables automatic tracking. RoTracker says it collects activity through Roblox public APIs and does not access private or non-public Roblox data. It requires neither a Roblox password nor a browser extension or account access. Linked activity may appear on public leaderboards, with a Hide from leaderboards option for anonymous display. The service is in public beta and currently free: the Free plan is free, with no credit card or hidden fees. Data export is basic. The privacy policy lists encryption in transit, password hashing, access controls, security assessments, and suspicious-activity monitoring.
