Qbserve can determine the difference between productive and distractive activities.

Pro Weekly time worked report
Pro Time report
You can track time spent on different tasks and compare them

Cons
Con No synchronization
Since Qbserve is a serverless solution – you can't sync your database between multiple Macs.
Con Short free trial
While it's good that there is a 10 day free trial, 10 days isn't very long. A longer trial would allow for better judgement of how much more productive the software made you.
Con Cannot edit time from desktop app
It'd be good if edit time functionality is added in the desktop. At present one has to edit time via web app.
