Good time tracking - project management software (win/mac desktop/online)

Hi

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

Grindstone.
Very easy to handle projects, start/pause, can even create bills for projects.
Downside, windows only IIRC.

I use ToDoList
It display 5556 k of memory in the task manager :slight_smile:

hey thanks for the responses!

I also noticed that Google Apps is featuring some of those programs as well
but they are mainly to complex.

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).

do you use it with google apps?

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.

Ok I got Bento for Mac and wrote my own task and project database lol … in minutes.

MrTickTock.com is a simple web based time tracker with some project management elements.

I found after all actually www.toggl.com.

Not bad since it has a desktop system as well for WinMac besides the browser bases system.

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.

because I work in Win and OS X I am interesting in an app for both
and Toggl works well here.

For OS X there are some really nice stand alone apps as well.

Our time and attendance system is totally optimized for multiple sites, multiple time zones and multiple languages. There are many features that allow you to configure the application to fit your solution needs

Moderation:

This is really off-topic.

Please be aware if you post here as a newbie (with very small postcount) and just advertising a product, you might be classified as spammer. To avoid that:

  • Make sure you have shown that you are a Blender user (usually shown by blender related posts before posting here)
  • Show your own opinion to the application you are recommending.
  • Do not make it look like an ad
    Otherwise it would be difficult to judge if it is spam or not (if you manage it to pass the automatic antispam service)

Thanks

It is easy-to-use! You can search it on the Internet to get many related products!

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.
