# how to export Screen Time data

Screen Time has no export — no CSV, no files. macOS keeps roughly the last four weeks of history, then deletes it.

## what Notes Exporter exports

[Notes Exporter](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/notesexporter/id6741618455?mt=12) reads Screen Time on your Mac and writes one Markdown file per day, plus a rolling summary:

- per-app time for the day, as a table (apps used under a minute are filtered out)
- website usage, notification counts, and screen sessions
- day totals in the YAML front matter
- it syncs daily, so your files keep accumulating past Apple's four-week window

The files work in Obsidian, in scripts, and as context for AI tools ([use in Claude](/apps/notes-exporter/notes/claude)).

Your 10 most recent days export free. Unlimited days are a one-time unlock — not a subscription.
