User Logger is a Mac app that logs interactions between the user and their Mac. Interactions include wakening the screen, opening or closing an app, mounting or dismounting a disk or thumb drive, or accessing specific folders (see below). Most importantly, it uses the built-in camera to take a photo of the person wakening the screen.
Version 1.10 stores these interactions in the user’s iCloud account. User Logger Remote is an iPhone app that displays these interactions when the user is not present.
User Logger is scriptable. To be precise, you can attach an Applescript to a folder of your choice, and every time that folder is opened it will be logged. Apple does not allow me to provide scripts from the User Logger app, but they have no problem with you downloading from this page.
Start by downloading this short script:
Then…
- Open Apple’s Script Editor.app (found in the /Applications/Utilities folder).
- Rename the downloaded script Notifications.scpt, and save it to /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts
- In Script Editor, go to Preferences and check the box marked Show Script menu in menu bar.
- In the Script menu, go to Folder Actions and then Attach Script to Folder.
Now, when you open the folder you just attached the Applescript to, it will tell User Logger to create a new log entry.
