Have a look at the entries for the last ironcoder competition. There's one in there that does exactly what you're after and the source is freely available.

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
