The goal is to have a lightweight tool that can absolve the user from the task of calculating how much time was spent performing the individual tasks over a given period (usually a day).
Useful when hooked-up with various GTD and Pomodoro tools, or for filling JIRA timesheets, or simply to measure your work-patterns on a typical day and plan for the next.
Wakatime, which is similar, but closer to your "goals" I think. Which issues "heartbeats" of open files / websites / w/e you want that can be related to a given project programatically.

Though generally just love this, I constantly strive to automate timekeeping for the trivial stuff.

RescueTime, uses the same principal (active focused window) https://www.rescuetime.com/

Basic functionality includes:
- Play/Pause feature to enable/disable logging at run-time.
- Reliably logging any window active even for a fraction of a second.
- Reliably logging system lock/unlock events.
- Exporting log as csv
