It's a niche nicety and not really necessary but might be worth considering. I use that already to automatically do things like change my away status on IRC or activate the screensaver if I've forgotten and change display timeout. When I leave my system I take my phone, so in turn that can act as a useful automatic proxy for whether I'm in the area so to speak or not. As far as feature feedback, and perhaps for 2.0, one possible addition you could consider for your idle detection or tracking capabilities would be Bluetooth device reads. Looks like an excellent start, and definitely fills a needed niche under OS X. I fell to 19% productivity as I was writing this comment so I'm going to get back to work :) Overall it's a beautiful product and well-executed idea, I appreciate the 10 day trial and I'll definitely be purchasing it. I second the suggestion below about allowing more detailed domain name matching, since /mycompany is productive while /anythingelse is usually not. There are obviously going to be niche cases that you can't get information on with this app (I might be working on a personal project and there would be no way of knowing), but for 99% of people this seems to be what they would need. I was able to figure out all the features simply by experimentation, but a tour might be helpful to guide through the process of adding a new category/website/app. I'll definitely be sharing this with them! I work with kids (age 8 - 18) and they seem to be the most unaware of the enormous amounts of computer time eaten up by games and trivial activities.

I'll be very grateful for advices on how to promote it better and overall feedback. This week I pitched about 70 journalists and bloggers who write about Mac or productivity apps but the results are not clear yet. Qbserve did well on PH but almost no other sites picked it from there.

Then there were about 14 months of writing some code once in a week or two and 3 months of almost full time polishing and gathering feedback.

So I started to play with OS X accessibility and got promising results pretty fast.

There is standalone ManicTime on Windows but OS X standalone trackers lack features and most of them are not automatic. I tried RescueTime before but it was too expensive for its functionality ($72-108/year) and also collected all my tracked data on their servers. Most of the time tracking software is made for controlling employees or for billing clients and I just wanted an automated productivity measurement. I was not happy with features and UX of other productivity trackers.
