Windows Defender SmartScreen will block the installation of this file. Read the source code if you have any doubts, or run a VirusTotal scan.

Troubleshooting

App crashing when opened

If the app crashes upon opening, try:

1. Uninstall.
2. Delete the contents of dailylogs folder

• WIN + R to open the Run window.
• Paste this then hit enter: %LOCALAPPDATA%/digital-wellbeing/dailylogs
• Delete all .log files

3. Re-install the latest version.

This will remove app usage history, but will mostly fix the issues. If the app is still crashing, go to:

%LOCALAPPDATA%/digital-wellbeing/internal-logs

Send me the .log file for the current day when the crash happens. This will help me identify the issue.

App icons not showing

Fetching icons from running apps is a hit or miss. For better chances, try running the app in administrator mode. (Right Click > Run as Administrator).
