Arknights: Endfield Playtime Tracker
What it is
Arknights: Endfield Playtime Tracker is a free Windows utility that records playtime for Arknights: Endfield automatically. It checks every five seconds for a running Endfield.exe process and times the session. A browser dashboard at 127.0.0.1:27182 shows a live timer, session history and a NOW PLAYING banner. When the game closes, a Windows toast reports the session time and total playtime. The tool also creates a readable playtime.txt log, grouping sessions by date. Data is kept locally as JSON, with interim saves every 60 seconds; the tracker can finalize an incomplete session on its next startup after a crash or unexpected shutdown. The dashboard retains up to 100 sessions, and game detection depends on the executable being named Endfield.exe. Setup requires Windows and Node.js and uses batch files, with an option to start automatically at Windows login. The tracker has no external dependencies. Its local dashboard is not accessible from other machines, and an initialOffset setting can account for playtime from before installation; the default is zero.
