Belated response - I picked this up, the Deluxe version of FusionDesk. It has one possibly killer feature, at least for me: the integration of timers into the hierarchical task manager.

Being constantly made aware of the time spent on each phase of a project I find surprisingly beneficial to productivity. This seems the only program that does it.

Personal Brain is another program that logs the time spent on each item. It is not a task manager of course, but its ability to act as a front-end to applications and documents can be very useful while managing.

I had suggested this kind of timer to UltraRecall developers a long time ago (v.1) but they said that it wasn’t supported by the present infrastructure, nor did they sound very willing to alter it for such purposes. I don’t know whether anything has changed. I would expect a “total time viewed” attribute a rather reasonable extension to “created on” and “last edited on”.

I find a time-logging function very useful as well and ended up using dedicated applications to do it, but this only adds up to the complexity.
