ProjectTime by HOFA-Plugins.
German developer HOFA-Plugins has released ProjectTime, a freeware project time measurement tool in VST/AU/RTAS plugin formats for Windows and Mac.
HOFA 4U ProjectTime starts the time measurement as soon as it gets loaded into a plug-in slot in your DAW (Cubase, Pro Tools, Studio One, Reaper …).
ProjectTime is available for free download via HOFA-Plugins (email address required, VST/AU/RTAS plugin formats).
The download size depends of whether you choose the online installer (4MB download size) or offline installer (120MB download size). The installer includes all plugins released by HOFA-Plugins, although you are free to choose which ones you’d like to install on your machine.
So, a plugin which measures how much time I’ve spending on a project. I’m not really sure if I find the idea useful or not. Perhaps it could be a good tool to remind you to rest your ears from time to time?

onI think it’s designed for people who have music projects that are paid by the hour. A lot of library and contract work is done this way, mastering engineers often work this way too.

ongood point! that’s probably why they made the plugin. definitely useful stuff in that case.
however, it crossed my mind that they could update it with reminder functionality, for example to take a 10 minute break every 45 minutes or so. that would be pretty cool, actually.
A nice plugin for contests too, or just for competitive musicians.
FL Studio comes with an option that let you know this, but i think is not as precise (seconds) as this one.
Thanks for sharing :)
