About Museum of a broken API

Museum of a broken API presents aggregated Android app-usage statistics as an exhibit about the limitations of the system usage-statistics interface. It can show daily totals for roughly the past ten days, weekly totals for about four weeks, monthly totals for about six months, and yearly aggregates. Charts provide a visual view of the collected data. The app is styled after Android’s Settings interface to emphasize that the underlying information comes from a system API. An included guide describes examples of problems users may encounter when interpreting the figures. The product description says the data source has been unreliable and may no longer reflect current Android behavior. Museum of a broken API is no longer maintained and is presented as a demonstration of API issues rather than a dependable screen-time tracker. Its aggregates can be viewed for historical interest, but the data may be inaccurate or incomplete. The app is useful for understanding the kinds of usage summaries Android exposes and the shortcomings reported by its developer. It should not be treated as an authoritative record of app usage.
