Ever wonder how much time you spend sending messages on your BlackBerry? How about the amount of time you play Word Mole? A handful of applications will provide you with a rough breakdown, but none I’ve seen are quite as elegant as SmrtMonitor. It’s from the makers of SmrtGuard, a wireless backup and remote tracking service for BIS users. The application tracks how much time you spend on each BlackBerry application and then presents it in a number of formats.

When you open the program you’ll see a list of your most used BlackBerry applications. This includes the amount of time you’ve spend on the application, plus a percentage breakdown. The user in the sample screen shot, you can see, spends about 45 percent of his BlackBerrying time in the messages app. He also likes to remind himself that he spends that much time on his Berry, apparently, because he spends 11 percent of his time on SmrtGuard.

The application provides further detailed information on each application, including the minimum, maximum, and average session times, dates of your first and last usage, and a breakdown by day of the week. You can also sort your master list by different categories, including most and least time, most and least frequent, and most and least recent. SmrtGuard allows you to reset the timer for each application at any time.

If you’re interested in your BlackBerry usage breakdown, you can get SmrtMonitor for $3.99 until December 31. If you aren’t interested, you can find out why I find the name SmrtMonitor so funny.
