How about a way to filter/organize things?
I think Slife has great potential, but in its current state it's almost unusable for me.
I'm a freelancer, I work from home. I divide my time between personal projects and client projects, and I find myself jumping back and forth between the two almost constantly. Toss in there some Reddit browsing, and my browser history alone becomes a staggering mess of a list.
I understand I can manually assign "activities" to things, but that becomes a fairly monumental task in itself, just sifting through everything.
Why not make a filtering option or something where you can, for example, automatically have any visit to domain X count as activity Y, or any time spent in a certain app is automatically for activity Z.
Beyond that, it would be nice to have the option to exclude things from being tracked. Say, for example, any time spent on Digg or CNN, or any time spent in iTunes.
As it stands, Slife is almost what I need, but falls just short of being practical for me.
On a side note, I fail to see the point (on OS X at least - not sure how it is on windows) to have a "show preferences" option in the menubar widget when the only "preference" is entering the account name and password.

Inappropriate?We are planning lots of improvements for Slife, some of which you are referring to. In fact many of the suggestions you have were available in previous versions of the Slife client.
The idea with the activity setup is that once you categorize the types of things you typically do (web sites you always go to, documents, applications, etc) then it all happens automatically. So you only have to do it once.
The ability to exclude/only include items is a good one and we have added that to our work list -
Inappropriate?Wait, some of these were available in previous versions? Why remove them?
Also, I understand what you're trying to do with the activities, but because of the sheer volume of websites I visit (as I'm sure many of your users do as well), something that categorizes preemptively or automatically would work so much better than having to manually sort.
And the exclude one is something I'd definitely want to see... After all, there are certain things I do on my computer that I just don't want logged... :D
