• Syncing fails over Dropbox

  ThedisasteristJuly 17, 2014

  Pros

  If I only used one computer I would give it 5 stars. Easy to use and flexible for multiple clients, with multiple projects and rates.

  Cons

  Since I have 2 computers this is the problem. I keep having the problem that data is lost when going from one computer to another, even following support from OfficeTime. I've lost hours of work spent trying to recreate entire days that were lost. Now to fix problem I must manually back-up at close of my session on the computer. Then if I open again, from same or different computer I go to the last manual back-up. This has turned out to be a time-suck, not a time-aid.

  Summary

  Don't buy if you need to sync across two computers or they come up with their own native syncing. The DropBox feature just can't be counted on to work.

• Easy and natural to set up and use.

  DGC3--2008July 17, 2008

  Pros

  I've used similar programs so the expected functionality was all present and easily configured for my work. Best unexpected feature: when I'd been proofing for some time, the program asked, "You've not touched the keyboard for 17 minutes. Should this time be deducted from your billable hours?" or words to that effect. It took me a couple of passes to get the invoicing the way I wanted, but since I barely glanced at the help files, not bad at all. Well worth paying for.

• Best organizational tool for creatives

  Sknygrydg07July 9, 2008

  Pros

  It's an extremely simple time keeping tool. Nothing fancy or confusing, it keeps track of time spent and organizes the information by job and project. Very simple, and perfect for a creative when all you want to do is just work and not muck about with learning new business software. With this tool, I was able to see clearly that I could quit my horrible day job and go freelance.

  Cons

  I'd like the ability to time stamp in the notes section, but they tell me that's coming.

• Absolutely, positively, the BEST you'll find. Seriously.

  pixelchicMarch 21, 2007

  Pros

  As a freelance writer/designer, keeping tabs on my time means keeping tabs on my income. Not only is this software perfectly designed, it's perfectly easy to use. Best of all, the price is well worth every penny. If your time literally means money, you won't find a better time management tool out there.

  Cons

  I would love the opportunity to customize the invoice templates a bit more. Allowing templates to be altered in, say, Adobe Illustrator, would provide the finishing touches.

• For Mac developer like myself this tracker is absolutely must-have.

  romaninshJuly 13, 2005

  Pros

  Finally the family of easy-to-use mac application have it's own timetracker. Comparing to other trackers, this one is really easy to work with. I think it's very important - i tried many trackers and I simply forget to use them, but this is the one i'd stick with.

  Cons

  It's 0.42 version. So it's beta. It never crashed or did anything wrong. I have found few minor issues (idle detector does not watch keyboard, sometimes can't resume last task). I reported and got VERY quick reply, that those gonna be fixed in next version. Nice:)

• small footprint, easy to operate, friendly and prompt support

  mister_blubsJuly 13, 2005

  Pros

  Discreet - minimal screen real estate used. Does only what it's asked. Never bothers me. Always easily available and helps keeps me aware of my time usage. For my graphic design biz, I find it to be a well-behaved little app. Easy to work among/between multiple jobs. Nice report function (haven't really used the "generate invoice" function yet, but I tried it and it seems to work quite well. The developer's been real helpful with my questions.

  Cons

  None yet.
