ProcrastriTracker

ProcrastriTracker is a small productivity tool designed to help you figure out how you are spending your time at the computer. Not only can track the programs and files you are opening, but it also displays them neatly in a graphic so that you can identify potentially distracting activities and spend your time more efficiently.

After a quick installation, you can access the app from the System Tray as it is designed to record your actions without being distracting. While it does not come with an interface per se, the GUI allows you to preview statistics about how you are using your time in front of the computer.

According to the developer, the tool is set to check what is open every five seconds and store the title, document name or website into its database. In case it does not detect any activity for more than three minutes, it stops checking and recording. As far as the database is concerned, this is saved automatically every 10 minutes. It goes without saying that you can change all these default time configurations from the Settings window.

The program enables you to set the frequency of how often a new entry is added to the database. As you probably guessed, a higher frequency can translate into more accurate statistics, especially if you are involved with multiple projects at the same time.

Speaking of multiple projects, the app can also be used as a time tracker that lets you know how much time you are spending for each. Consequently, if you are charging by the hour, the app can be used to create accurate invoices for your associates.

Regardless of whether you are looking for a tool to precisely track the time you allocate for your projects and how much you should charge or perhaps, you want to become more productive, ProcrastriTracker might be worth a try.
