In their own words

Actually Played

Actually Played is a free, client-side Minecraft mod that tracks playtime separately for each server and singleplayer world, distinguishing active play from AFK time. After five minutes without qualifying activity, it stops the counter and reclassifies the recently counted idle period as AFK. Signals include movement intent, camera rotation, keyboard or mouse input, and actions such as breaking or placing blocks. Since the mod checks movement intent rather than position, being carried by water or a minecart does not count as active input. It needs no server installation and says it does not communicate with servers. History remains on the user's machine as readable, editable JSON. Sessions stay detailed for 90 days before older records are grouped into monthly summaries. Listed Minecraft versions are 1.7.10, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with Forge, Fabric or NeoForge support depending on the version. Realms are not tracked because the client lacks a stable identifier. On Minecraft 1.16 and later, settings are edited in a properties file rather than an in-game settings screen.

GameDiary

GameDiary tracks PlayStation Portable game playtime in the background and presents statistics for individual games and the full library. Its PSP release has a kernel-mode tracking plugin and a user-mode application. Tracking covers native PSP games and PlayStation 1 classics running through POPS; statistics include session history and activity graphs. The plugin also extracts icons from EBOOTs and ISOs. The interface supports English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, French, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese, with language detection from PSP settings. Web tools let users edit sessions visually and merge backup files from multiple Memory Sticks or PSP consoles. The responsive web interface works from a PC or smartphone with a backup.json file exported by the PSP app. Installation requires a PSP 1000, 2000, 3000, or Go with custom firmware and a Memory Stick or MicroSD-to-MS adapter. The project is free under the MIT License. Some homebrew that overwrites RAM boundaries or uses custom interrupts may temporarily pause tracking intervals.
