"The premier parental control system for Mac OS X." - lets admin control which programs a user may use, and lets you control how much time per day various programs or groups of programs may run for that user.
I'm a game and aimless computer-using escapist. No joke.
My wife alike. Not a joke, that either:
We're so called procrastinators.
I purchased two Mac Minder licenses a year ago and we have it set up, so that I know her password and she knows mine. Previously, we used to sit up until very late nights, or early mornings... Now? Our computers are ruthlessly shut off at 2am, with just one warning and then it's up to us, if we want to save what we're doing before that.
I have to say, this works astonishingly well, for people like us (call us tragic, or what else you can think of). One may think that a program like this is only for the kids - and sure, it should work just as well for that purpose - but I guess there are grown up people with the same problms, when trying to control their digital consumption (it's truly a new universe, or even, as I'd like to put it, World's 9th Wonder, this 'computers' thing).
Anyway, I'm not going to write so much more about that, other than, yes, it works for what it's intended to, and very damn well!
I also Mac Minder's versatile scheduling facility. Awesome. Quick and easy, just drag and drop (like you do in iCal).

Look like the developer, Luma Code, went completely gone...
