Is there an application or program, etc for a 2009 Apple MacBook that will show how much screen time spent on doing what each day?
MacBook Pro
Might be. You haven't advised what system you have on your Mac so it's impossible to say.
Have a look yourself in the App store. I found a few options just by entering screen time so there are some third party options there. For Apple's Screen Time you would need to have at least macOS 10.15 Catalina, which I suspect is well beyond the capability of your 2009 Mac.
Ok, if you have Catalina on the MacBook Pro it is Mid 2012 or newer. If you go to System Preferences > Screen Time you will see all the options under several categories of action:
Weekly reports
Downtime & App Limits
Content & Privacy Restrictions
Screen Time Passcode
Be sure to record the passcode
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the help. My young adult daughter is using the computer to watch movies and shows for several hours a day - sometimes 10++ hours! She looses track of time so we need to help her be able to count her time or check it or something. I'm open to suggestions on programs to shut the computer down after 3 hours of videos or movies, IF there's such a thing too!! The operating System is Catalina!!! Sorry I did not know to give that information.
PS: This topic continues in another newer thread.
Found there was a connection between two here.

Thought this should be known.
