Very small compliment (I like other things, but commenting about this one):

I love that your call to action button says "Watch the 1-min video". I NEVER click on product videos because I am afraid it will be 6-10 minutes of founders in the studio talking about how great the app is. With the specific detail of "1-min" I immediately watched the video and found out more about the app that I would have from reading the home page for 5-10 minutes.

This looks really great! Does this tool have any desktop apps for logging hours? I can't seem to find it on the website. This is the only must-have feature that's missing for me. Logging hours only from the website is not suitable for my workflow.

Thank you! We don't have a desktop app right now, but we want to get it done in the future. We are however working on some pretty cool integrations stuff with the web app and the native iPhone app, so stay tuned for that!

If you haven't seen it, I would recommend checking out Aaron Shell [1], the cross-platform desktop JS runtime environment that Github uses for Atom editor. If your app is mostly frontend JS with an API, porting it should be easy. If the backend is in node.js, porting it will be even easier.

I am guessing you probably have some bade trademark news coming your way... cool app though http://www.bitspin.ch/ (aka timely the clock app aquired by google)

If I were Google, I would've continued shopping, and acquired @matmik and Timelyapp.com as well:)

I find it so weird that they look like a calendar, but they only keep track of durations. They explicitly reject start and stop times. For me, that makes scheduling hard, and reconciling my time & efficiency at the end of the month near impossible. I'm disappointed since everything else looks excellent.

If you want automatic time tracking with durations, see if CreativeWorx TimeTracker fills the bill. It automatically activities within applications (Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Apple productivity, browsers) plus your calendar events. www.creativeworx.com

If you're looking for a comprehensive time tracking alternative, CreativeWorx TimeTracker has a desktop application in addition to a browser version. There's a new desktop application being released in about a week, and it's killer! Check it out: www.creativeworx.com

Looks really promising...but without an API you are missing one of the best parts of the what makes Cloud (SaaS) so great.

If you're looking to integrate with an automatic time capture platform with a RESTful API, checkout CreativeWorx TimeTracker. www.creativeworx.com

Is this basically Trello (w/ Plus for Trello) on a calendar-based grid?

did you even watch the video? Trello uses lists (to mimic SCRUM), this uses days (to mimic a calendar). Not that similar.

No, hence my question.
