I have multiple projects and it''s important for me to track time by client and by project. There''s a Windows application that allows me to do this, but I''m looking for a cross-platform solution. I looked at ConsultComm but it wouldn''t install on my Mac. Rather than rewriting what seems like a commonly-required app, I wondered if anyone else had something they were using. Thanks
Basecamp now has this capability....

It''s pretty simple and allows you to have multiple customers with multiple projects with many tasks (for which time is tracked) It''s quite rough at the moment, but I''m using it to track my time - so it works ;-) It''s available on http://invisible.ch/projects/wiki/WikiStart There are quite a few bugs / problems and I have NOT tidied this up yet... Feel free to issue tickets / patches etc. Jens-Christian -- InVisible GmbH, Langgrütstrasse 172, 8047 Zürich Phone: +41 44 401 09 30 http://www.invisible.ch http://not.invisible.ch
There was a really good RailsDay project that did this... it was one of the winners too. Damned if I can remember what the name was =/ P.S. Whatever happened to railsday.com? It fell off a cliff several moths ago for me... -Kyle
http://www.formassembly.com/time-tracker/ web-based and free. simple interface but it''s by task basis so it won''t add up all your time for one client.

Also > its free! Here''s the address: <http://crewoftheundead.com/khronos/>Thanks. I''ve been toying with [Active Timer][1]. It''s very simple and might be just automagic enough. --Steve [1]: http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macgems/2005/06/activetimer/ index.php
ActiveTimer doesn''t really do what I want. It tells me how much time my computer spent with a given task in the foreground. It''s of academic interest, but not what I need to bill clients :) Khronos is really close, but I still need the ability to do a couple of things that it doesn''t do: 1. Enter one-shot records (like 20 minutes). I get cell-phone calls when I''m away from the computer and I can only transcribe them later. It seems like a date and duration would make sense for that. 2. Ability to manually enter start and stop times. I attend meetings and know the start and stop times, but again, have to transcribe them later. 3. Ability to pause and restart an activity. This proves to be the most interesting... I''m about 50% done with a Rails app that does all of this (albeit, with a crude interface). It''s not to the point where I can do all of what I said, but oh-so close. I''m sure there are better ways to write the code, but I really need the tool. I''ll try to put it someplace public when I finish to find out if it''s useful for others. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Try TimeLog: <http://shareware.mediaatelier.com/> It takes a slightly different approach in that it logs your times to iCal. Which also means that you can actually add an event to iCal, (such as a meeting) and by allocating it to the correct calendar, it automatically gets logged. It''s an OS X app. Richard

This proves to be the most > interesting...This might seem silly, and the interface is dirt simple, but if you use Emacs, there''s timeclock.el. The time database is just a text file, so that''s how 1 and 2 are accomplished. http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?action=browse;id=TimeClock;revision=8 _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

It''s a bit cumbersome, but it works.> 3. Ability to pause and restart an activity. This proves to be the > most > interesting...When you hit the green button to start recording, it pops up a blue ''pause'' button, which you can use to pause the current session. You can then hit the blue ''play'' button to restart the timer. Is that what you were looking for? Chris
