Breakdowns
An app total on its own doesn’t say much — eight hours of “After Effects” could be one project or five. Breakdowns are the level below the app: the specific thing you were working in.
What counts as a breakdown depends on the app:
| App type | Breakdown |
|---|---|
| Video and design tools (After Effects, Premiere Pro, …) | The project file |
| Code editors (Cursor, VS Code, …) | The workspace or project |
| Browsers | The site (with the browser extension installed) |
| Music apps | The song |
| Terminals | The window title |
Some breakdowns go a level deeper — sub-breakdowns. A site like YouTube breaks down into individual videos; a music app breaks down into songs under the artist. Expand a breakdown in any list to see them.
The full list of apps with deep tracking is on vetroscope.com/supported-apps. Apps that aren’t recognized are still tracked — you get the app total, just without breakdowns.
Where you’ll see breakdowns
Section titled “Where you’ll see breakdowns”Everywhere app time appears: expand an app row on Home, in the Calendar hour sidebar, in Charts, on the Timeline (each breakdown gets its own lane), and in reports and CSV exports. Tags, goals, and the ignore list all work at the breakdown level too — you can tag one client’s project without touching the rest of the app’s time.
