Yes. You basically have to write it yourself as a macro, but you do something like this:

Trigger every minute

• Switch on Text %Application%1%
  • Case BBEdit: Set Variable “BBEdit Idle Time” to 0
  • Case Dash: Set Variable “Dash Idle Time” to 0
  • etc
• Set Variable BBEdit Idle Time to calculation BBEdit Idle Time + 1
• Set Variable Dash Idle Time to calculation Dash Idle Time + 1
• etc
• If Application BBEdit is Running
  • If calculation BBEdit Idle Time > 10
    • Quit BBEdit
• Else
  • Set Variable BBEdit Idle Time to 0
• etc

Not familiar with KM，can you give me a screenshot of this or kmmacros？ I just tried but I cannot translate it to a macro。 the screenshot maybe long, but it is easy to understand for a KM beginner.
sorry for this request.

Using these:

• Switch or Case action
• Set Variable to Calculation action
• If Then Else action
• Application token
• Application condition
• Calculation condition

Something like this:
