TimeSprite
$34.95 - Black Hill Software

Track how much time you spend on different activities on your computer. Once a minute, TimeSprite records the title of the active window on your computer. You can then view a report of how much time you spent on different activities. Similar titles are automatically grouped together to provide a summary of your time. You can also define your own groups to refine the report.

View total times, a journal, weekly and monthly timesheets.

Privacy

Keeping a record of your activities on the computer raises privacy concerns. TimeSprite is intended as a personal time management tool, rather than as a way for others to monitor your activities. TimeSprite has several features to address privacy issues:
* The TimeSprite Monitor can be paused at any time. When it is paused, nothing is recorded.
* You can define your own activities in the TimeSprite Monitor. When one of these activities is selected, time is recorded against that activity, instead of recording the active window. Recording of user defined activities continues even if you are not using your computer.
* You can search and delete information that has been recorded. You can search for records by time and/or records that contain specific text. This allows you to remove data that you did not want recorded.
* TimeSprite does not record keystrokes, or any contents other than the title bar from other windows.
