OTimer is a timer while you are online. It can calculate the time you
spend on internet with monthly record. Just simply input the starting
day and ending day, it will begin to record. Dial-up is also support.

FAQ:

Q.) How to continuosly use previous recorded file
A.) Firstly, create a new personal account(e.g new_record.otm) on OTimer main screen. Then open the folder where you installed OTimer. Delete the new personal account file(new_record.otm) and rename your previous recorded file to "new_record.otm".
