Is there a tool that allows you to monitor the amount of time spent actively interacting with an application? This would be useful for development work to get an idea of just how long projects take.

You have two good questions here. Generally, it works best if each question gets a separate post, rather than combining more-or-less unrelated questions. – Daniel Lawson♦ Oct 22 '11 at 3:29

Yes, @Daniel is right. I've removed the first question since people have already answered the second one. Please feel free to ask your first question again separately. Please take a look at the FAQs for more info. Thanks. – Nathan Greenstein♦ Oct 22 '11 at 14:41

The application Time Sink ($5, Many Tricks) tracks the amount of time you spend in each application (and each window within an application).

Timing helps in tracking time spent in applications (and their windows) as well. It's similar to Time Sink but seems to provide more grouping and reporting options.

TimeEdition is an application that I just found. I haven't used it yet, but it's free. However, it doesn't have as many features as Time Sink.
