Hi Marc - you can use Carbon events to track "front app changed" events.
See my open source example for a head-start:

Hi all,
I have a list of applications that I want to watch. I want to know
when they are running and when they are active so that I can track
the amount of time I spend in each. It's easy enough to get a list
of running windowed apps from NSWorkspace but, so far, I haven't
found a way to know when an application is launched and when it's
the front most app. I looked though Process Manager and Launch
Services and I don't see anything. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong
thing. I was sort of hoping for some kind of notification that I
can register to receive. Does anyone know where I should be looking
for this info and can point me in the right direction?
Thanks a lot
Marc
