Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 3.12 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Fynn Godau" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Please install usageDirect instead of this app if you are interested in system usage statistics.

This app reflects my experience with the usagae statistics API from a few Android versions ago. It may no longer be current and this app is no longer being maintained.

The Android system collects app usage statistics in the background; however, native Android contains no way to read out this data properly. That is why I wanted to create a tool to display it. Unfortunately, I had to learn that this data source was riddled with bugs and highly unreliable.

Thus, I converted this application into a museum. It exhibits aggregated usage statistics per day for usually the past ten days, per week for the past four weeks, per month for the past six months as well as data aggregated by year. As a special exhibition, it can display this data as charts.

Design-wise, the app comes in the style of the settings app to highlight that this API is a part of the Android system.

An included Guide to the exhibition names some of the issues you can expect to find on your tour.
