Onlife is an amazing app.

It maintains a record of your information usage and data history by tracking your activity in a variety of mainly online applications, recording what you read or looked at, how long for and keeping a snapshot of the web page or email or document.

You can view your activity by day, week or month in a graphical form or view your online history in table form as in the following screenshot (click for a full-sized view):

You can apply tags to the items and also search them.

It can currently track your activity in Apple Mail, iTunes, TextEdit, Safari, Firefox. The developer promises support for more apps in the near future.

The recently-released beta 2 version now offers authentication on launch, which protects the record of your activity.

As well as providing information management, Onlife gives you a true picture of what you are up to. It doesn’t lie. Run it for a few days and see what you really do rather than what you think you do.

It’s free and available from the developer’s web site.
