What is gtimer
gtimer is:
A graphical program that tracks how your time is spent. Maintains a simple list of tasks, each of which can belong to a project, and allows you to track time in each. Multiple clocks can run simultaneously, annotations can be added to a day’s time, and reports can be generated in either HTML or text. If GTimer detects that you’re idle, you are given the option of subtracting off the time you spent idle when you return.
