It is tracked when the user is not focused on the browser, such as when opening other applications, pressing the Windows key, using Alt-Tab to switch applications, changing browser tab, and so on.

import { useState } from 'react';
import { pageTracker } from "browser-activity-tracker"

export default function App() {
  const [isStart, setIsStart] = useState(false);
  // You can change isStart with button or something
  // because the result of pageActivities only triggered after
  // isStart changed from true to false
  
  const pageActivities = pageTracker(isStart);
  // pageActivities returns an array of objects
  // where each object contains activity names and timestamps

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setIsStart(prev => !prev)}>
        {isStart ? 'stop' : 'start'}
      </button>

      {pageActivities.map((item) => (
        <div>
          {item.activity} - {item.timestamp.toLocaleTimeString()}
        </div>
      ))}
