As a parent, my children have time limits on the computer. This small utility was created simply to keep them honest. When it runs, it silently times how long the computer is in use (in use in this case means the keyboard and mouse are actively being used). Using the report view, you can see when someone started using the computer, when they stopped and the total time for that session. Computer Usage Timer also includes the ability to password protect the application so no one but you can view the reports. If you dont need this utility for parenting, it still is fun to see how long you sit in front of a computer during the day. Give it a try.
