Track app and device usage in Screen Time on Mac
Screen Time displays how much time you and your children spend in apps, the number of notifications you receive and the number of times you use your Mac and other devices. You can change the display to show statistics over different time periods and for individual apps and devices.
You can’t see the reports until you turn on Screen Time. See Set up Screen Time for yourself or Set up Screen Time for a child.
