Track time in Ableton Live

Here's an example of the information Timing records for Final Cut; for Ableton Live, Timing also records the project name. Notice how Timing tracks how much time you spend on each individual project, without having to install a plugin.

Most other non-linear editing apps such as Logic Pro are also supported. And all of this information is only visible to you, of course.
