Program Monitor - Time Tracking Tool
Are you searching for a better way to figure out how you spend time at your PC ?
Do you want to be able to categorise time spent using Word Processor, Graphics
Package, Email client and any other program ? Do you be able to bill clients
with exact itemised listings of times spent on a project ?
If your answer is “yes“ to any of these questions, we are pleased to introduce
you Program Monitor:
-
An easy-to-use time analysis tool for tracking which programs you are spending
time using. Program Monitor operates by silently logging which programs are
currently being used and for how long. If you walk away from your computer or
take a lunch break it detects this "Idle" time and stops the timer for that
programs usage. The activity can be assigned to a particular project you are
working on or to general administrative tasks. You can then produce reports on
how much time was spend putting that spreadsheet together, designing that logo,
responding to email or developing that website! and much more.
Benefits In Brief

Examine and export the raw log files if necessary. All activity is logged to a
database from which you can view or send to other programs for further
analysis.
