    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.
