app displays 39 hours usage for today #68

I installed Farhan today in hope of a modern open source screen time manager but at the moment it doesnt work for me.

It displays that I spend 39 hours with my phone, TODAY. It seems to add the time where my apps ran in the background or something. It shows me time I spend with apps that I surely didnt use. Starting the calculation again didnt help. What is the problem and what should I do?

And also a function to exclude apps despite launcher or Farhan itself would be useful. I don't know yet if apps like clock or similar, that use a screensaver, are excluded through the launcher settings, but still it would be helpful to exclude other apps.

I hope there is a solution for my problem because the app seems to look and work nice(ly).

@tahaak67 I am also seeing inaccurate usage estimates, such as seeing 40 mins screen time (not background) for Mull Browser in the Android Battery Usage screen, while only seeing 20min usage in Farhan. Please consider using a different method of calculating screen time, perhaps one that is based on the Battery Usage data

Duplicate of #18 @cbmiller2610 can you please elaborate more on what you mean by "battery usage data" and how can this help calculate usage data?
