What is Reddit's opinion of ProcrastiTracker?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If anybody is having this problem on Windows, and willing to spend a little time running a diagnostic tool to help track it down, PM me. The tool we will use is called vtrace: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3059-RTXB-2672

vtrace requires some technical expertise and time to run it properly and submit a useful report. If you have both, we'd really appreciate some help understanding what this problem is. PM me and I can get you setup.

UPDATE: I sent some keys to about a dozen people. If I sent you a key, when you send in your trace, don't forgot to include who you are! I got a trace from somebody where it is pretty obvious that this tool (http://strlen.com/procrastitracker/) is activating and hogging all the CPU for seconds at a time. Alas, that person did not include their contact info, so I cannot reply to them. Whoever you are, I hope you read this post!

Procrastitracker. Open source, free and extremely lightweight. Unless you open it from the traybar, you don't notice it's there.

I open it literally once a month. On the 1st of each month, I have a look and add the minutes of the couple of non-steam games I've played to the sheet.

Thanks for writing this list dude! I would love to start exploring some of my entrepreneurial ideas once I have graduated university.

I have a few questions for you if I may ask :)

1. What kind of start-up business are you in?

2. Are you one of the founders?

3. Does your start-up include other personality types you synergise well with?

Got some productivity tips which help me a lot. I use a tool called Procrastitracker (Windows) which helps me track what I'm spending my time on. It makes me want to achieve some kind of productivity highscore. I also taped a quote underneath my monitor "Am I being productive or just active?".

Best of luck!

If you're running on a Windows machine, this app might provide what you're looking for... http://strlen.com/procrastitracker/ . It's an older app but I think I ran it in Windows 10 a couple years ago.

I've also tried many software's to track time/usage/apps and even I loved ManicTime 10 years ago now I'm using ProcrastiTracker, and I think it's just what you are looking for too ;)

In two clicks I can tell you how much time I've spend today on Reddit, encoding videos or coding.

So this software is invasive and will probably never be approved for use by management because it logs pretty much everything you do on your computer.

But it seems like what you are looking for.

Procrastitracker

To use this software in the way that i'm thinking to solve your problem would presuppose a bunch of things.

1.)The computers are owned by the company and the user understand that nothing personal should be done on the machines.

2.)You have a remote method of installing this on everyone's machine.

3.)You have a remote method of retrieving the log files it creates and organizing them by user.

Viola, Auto Time sheets. This would be amazing to see done.

Also your employees would be stressed beyond belief knowing they are being tracked like this. Many would revolt, quit, or get insanely competitive. It won't be pretty. If it could be hidden from them that be one thing but then I don't know about the legalities of that.

Technically it's an interesting problem that I'd love to try to solve. Ethically your on all sorts of shakey ground.

Overall my thought would be that it's just not a good idea. You are going to create more problems than you solve.

I have had Procrastitracker running for a couple of years. Sadly I lost some data from 2012 to 2013 so there should be at least more bioshock infinite in there. It's interesting to see what sort of stuff I've spent time on.
