    Tracking app usage

    Anyone know of any apps on the market that track which apps on your Droid that you access/use the most?

    How exactly do you intend to define usage? Consider things like Tasker, widgets, and apps that run in the background that you use but do not interact directly with all the time. It's the same issue that was brought up with the recent Nielsen study that compared time used on the web versus time used in apps.

    App usage is the time which is spent on a particular app by the user. Also, at that point the user is also directly interacting with the app. So, for that, the app needs to be on top of the Activity or App Stack.
    As mentioned, the app made by me(mentioned above) tracks which app is getting used, and uses this information to come up with app usage.

    Obviously, the web VS app has intensified due to the fact that the two differ in a lot of ways but also possess similarity.

    @agrvaibhav, that is indeed what I was looking for.. not usage "behind the scenes," but stuff I was actually interacting with. Thank you!

    Usage App Name and Link

    The app name is "App Usage Tracker" and market URL is https://market.android.com/details?i...pUsageTracking
    When I tried searching for the app in the market with the name, I still can't see it in top 10 results. Instead u can try searching from my name "Vaibhav Agrawal"
