ManicTime and RescueTime are both great. Works in the background and shows what applications you actually used. You can turn a timer on for specific tasks.

Re: Time tracker (web-based)?
I assume that Ken was looking for Linux-compatible solutions... Joshua, I'd be interested in seeing what you've found to be helpful. I've been using spreadsheets with some success, but I'd love to try out something else.

I've been using spreadsheets with some success, but I'd love to try out something else. The last tracker that I used and liked, when tracking billable hours mattered to me, was gtimelog http://mg.pov.lt/gtimelog/. It's a very lightweight tool, sort-of antithetical to the way most other time-trackers work: tasks-names are entered, as text (with autocompletion), when the task is finished or when you switch *away* from that task to another task; and there's some `lightweight markup' (leading asterisks) used to indicate whether a task is billable or non-billable (`work' vs. `slacking'). These days, I'm using org-mode http://orgmode.org/--mostly to do up-front time-estimates, and for thinking through things like root-cause analysis problems; because org-mode joins those tasks together really cleanly. It's emacs-based, which, in and of itself, turns some people and some people off; though I've heard rumours that some people actually start using emacs just for the sake of org-mode--it's that compelling. It also has a pretty nice companion app (`org-mobile') for both Android and the Apple things. Actually, there's apparently an org-mode implementation for Vim as well: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3342 Years ago, I wrote my own thing in Guile GTK+, which just gave me a set of customisable buttons that I could click when I moved between tasks (sort-of like gtimelog). -- Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr.
