I am currently looking into some usable time tracking and project management software. Mainly the aspect of counting hours and timeline is what I am interested in, meaning more a light weight, a small tool.
There is Things and TimeEdition for Mac OS X which are quite nice.
OpenAtrium is more a web based service as I understand but it seems also quite capable and simple to use. And then there is GantProject and OS clone of Microsoft Project.
Does anybody have good experience with a different software / online service?
For OS X I’ve used Time Tracker – you have to do it on the computer if that’s going to limit you, however. One nice feature is if you forget to clock out after a few minutes of inactivity it pops up and asks if you want to count that time. Free, used it for a couple years. http://www.slooz.com/trinkets.php?proj=timetracker
for basic time tracking for a project, with settings for hourly rate, etc, I use Timesage (free version) (Windows).
I’ve switched my invoicing to Zoho Online (free again for my needs).
I looked into Zoho project interesting - reminds me about a simple SQL database.
To my surprise there are not really good project management tools out there for out pocket.
Just simple to do and milestone concepts often dont do it.
I feel like getting Bento or something and simply doing it myself.
I spent years hating the paper timesheets I had to submit. I know they created errors when someone transcribed them, because I often had to get payroll personnel to fix problems. Now, though, we do time tracking in a web-based program from Replicon. It’s SO much easier. I post my hours in just a few minutes per week. No paycheck problems because the data gets ported, untouched, to payroll system. And they’ll supposedly have smartphone versions available middle of this year. Worth checking out.

Our telephone and web-based employee time clock system is totally optimized for the web (unlike typical client/server technology). As a result, our system is fast and very easy to use.
