# Export Screen Time to Markdown

Alto Index writes your Mac's Screen Time a file a day: apps, websites, notifications and sessions, kept after macOS forgets them. Free, with no limit.

Your Screen Time a file a day, kept after macOS lets it go.

## What you get

- A file per day, with tables of your app usage, web usage, notifications and screen sessions
- Its total screen time, apps used and sites visited in the front matter
- `summary.md` with your top apps and daily totals
- Alto Index reads the last 30 days macOS keeps; a day macOS has forgotten keeps its file

## Where the files go

```
alto-index/screen-time/2026-09-01.md
alto-index/screen-time/summary.md
```

## What you choose

- Tick the days to export; Days, Recent and Busiest help you find them
- Unticking a day macOS still holds removes its file

## Free

Screen Time is free, with no limit.

## With Claude

The [MCP server](/mcp) lets Claude Desktop read your days, and `/altoindex:summary` in the [Claude plugin](/claude-plugin) summarizes a source.
