Activity Timer

Activity Timer is a simple and straightforward tool that allows you to keep track of computer activities, projects or tasks. As the name implies, the role of the program is to help you keep track of the time you spend at the computer on your various projects. The tool is completely non-intrusive and it can be set to run as a tray icon so that it does not distract your from your current task.

The other main thing it can do is to play or show reminders to look away from the screen for a few seconds from time to time as is advised by eye doctors - this can help mitigate that tiredness of the eyes that can result from long periods of staring at a computer monitor.

You will be happy to learn that the alarms can be customized and that it accounts for idle time whenever mouse or keyboard are idle for more than a set period of time. Then again, it auto ends the session if you are idle for even longer - such as when you leave the computer running and go away for five minutes say, for instance. It goes without saying that it auto restarts as soon as you start to use the keyboard or mouse again.
