Absolutely fantastic. Developer has been responsive to feedback/requests.
I'm a software engineer by trade and in any given week I'll log time against 5-6 different projects/clients. This app has been fantastic.
(You can export CSV/friendly formats by just e-mailing them directly from the app, can do date-range based, etc. It's fantastic.)
Also recently started using this: https://github.com/gurgeh/selfspy It gives quite awesome data, and most of my workflow is known, so maybe I could hack something together that logs things it considers work (but since I change pc so often I don't know if that will really work). Should have a procrastination/work/documentation list for your browser though to make it more effective.
I use Harvest: http://www.getharvest.com/
Yes! In particular, Harvest for Mac: http://www.getharvest.com/mac . Killer features: - Start/stop timing in one-click or keyboard shortcut - See exact time in menu bar: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d56zb9ryffik7ey/Screenshot%202014-... - Idle time detection - leave your computer with timer running. When you're back, Harvest asks "You've been gone 15 minutes, should that time be counted?" Still hoping for: - better offl…
While Taskulu is not just a time tracking tool, it allows you to track your work hours on your project tasks. You can create projects, phases, lists, and tasks, manage your team with project-level Roles and Permissions, chat with your team members in real time, and (soon) hire people and make payments or get paid based on your logged work hours.
You can check it out at http://beta.taskulu.com and register with "HNBETA" invitation code. As the URL suggests, we're still in beta stage and looking forward to getting your feedback!
Most people default to pen, paper, or Excel. But, it quickly becomes more hassle than its worth. And, if the hours you track need to be sent to a finance team or an accountant, it gets even more complicated. That's why we created Tiempo.
Tiempo is a new time tracking app that aims to be the fastest way to track time. It works on the web and has apps for both iOS and Android. We even use it ourselves to track developers we have contracting for us.
Plus, you can have unlimited customers, even on our free tier (Harvest limits you to 4).
Check it out at https://track.tiempoapp.com/signup or see our site at http://www.tiempoapp.com.
The Tiempo team is made of former Intuit employees that have spent their careers focused on building software for small businesses.
We'd love any feedback the HN community has!
7.5 hours - every working day you need to put in 7.5 hours regardless of what you do. Put in 7.4hours and it cracks it at you. What would be nice: Know that I have entered time against a code and assign the rest of the days time to a generic code that I can edit at a later date or leave. Manual submission - every day the user needs to be submit their timesheet. People forget. People don't care. Management cares. What would be nice: If time has been entered, auto submit. Otherwise, let me be or prompt me in a nice way Making changes - if you want to edit hours or change a job code on time that has been submitted, it requires all days back to that day to be unsubmitted, the edit made, then all time re-submitted. What would be nice: let me edit by code by day Doesn't know where I am - we generally spend most of our time at the clients offices and we have their address(es) within the tool. What would be nice: Know that I have spent time at a client office and put in time to that clients code and prompt me to confirm it Code search - painful. We have hundreds of client codes, past and present, and finding them is not as simple as type in client name and select. Generally there is a client codes, a project code and potentially a sub code. If someone has spelt something differently, allocated it to a different person or if you enter one character incorrectly, it can't find it. What would be nice: Search that works Not mobile - they have put together a "mobile friendly" version but it provides limited functionality resulting in having to get onto the desktop version to do most of it and then use the mobile site. What would be nice: Mobile that doesn't require desktop intervention Reporting - just plain ugly and hard. What would be nice: Not plain ugly and hard reporting Visibility - if it is a fixed fee project and I have 40 hours allocated to it, I don't know that unless I'm told / project manager is riding my arse on hours. What would be nice: As time is submitted, show me how much I've consumed / how much is left Seperation - it isn't connected to the resourcing tool that lists what people are on, how long they are on it or if they have holidays booked in. What would be nice: If person is put onto client, put that code in their time sheet. If holidays booked, put it in timehsheet
