For the longest time we've been unable to get ActivityWatch [1] (an open-source automated time-tracker) to work reliably on Wayland due to the inability in many Wayland DEs to retrieve the title and app name of the active window.
Things have improved recently (in part due to our own efforts to submit PRs to DEs), but we still need one implementation per DE more or less, since many don't implement the "common" Wayland protocol to accomplish this (Gnome, KDE).
