Product Description:

You shouldn't have to think about how to track your time. You should just do it. Start. Stop. No hassle. OfficeTime feels intuitive because it adapts to your style, not the other way around.

Behind OfficeTime's elegant and deceptively simple interface lies the power to keep track of exactly what you and your team do each day:

Rich, flexible real-time reports and pie graphs at the touch of a button.
Easily time and track multiple projects simultaneously.
Track the kinds of work you do and for whom.
Keep expenses and detailed notes.
Advanced rounding for finicky people.
Customisable template-driven invoicing.
Cross-Employee reporting by project, date and category from multiple workstations.
Start, stop and pause projects from within any application.
iCal synchronization & Address Book integration.
Mac OS X "Leopard" and Intel Mac (Universal Binary) compatible.
And of course all the shortcuts and little refinements that make a program a joy to use.

What's new in this version:

OfficeTime version 1.31 offers over 22 new improvements and bug fixes and is a free upgrade.

New Features

Current project and duration displayed in menu bar. OfficeTime's global menu to start and stop projects from within any app just got better. Now you can see the current project and timer at a glance in the menu bar. See the preferences for menu bar customization options.
Inline notes editing! Editing notes now works the same as any other editing in OfficeTime. Just select the row and click on the notes to edit. ( Or double-click an unselected row.)
New [rate] placeholder in invoices. Now use the [rate] placeholder in the details section of any invoice to show the rate per hour for each session.

Improvements

You can now choose where to save each invoice.
Various session and subtotal color improvements.
Subtle sound effect cues when creating a new session and expense.
Press TAB to move directly from editing time to editing notes on any session.
(Leopard) Can now copy from Apple's address book within the invoice screen.
The forward delete key can now be used when editing and will not try to delete the current session.
Exporting a report is now twice as fast.
Reports exported to Excel now format the money column in a way Excel can do calculations on.
Now displays a warning when opening a read-only file.

Bug Fixes

(Leopard) The current project time is now displayed again in the dock.
Fix for occasional crash while editing a session.
Fixes a problem some users with unusual international settings had selecting the hour or time. The yellow highlight is now always accurate.
Fixes a problem with some automatic rounding where stopping and resuming a session repeatedly can lead to a negative or inaccurate time.
Reports exported to Excel will now always open in Excel, and not a text editor, when requested.
Entering a rate with a currency symbol in place is now properly recognized in the edit category screen.
Fixes problems with pasted multi-line project and category names in OfficeTime and multi-line calendar names in iCal.
Fixed a problem with generating invoices based on only the selected sessions.
Huge invoice numbers no longer display in scientific notation.
Fix is a rare problem of not selecting AM/PM when tabbing in a report.

What a time saver!! - Version: 1.3.1, 5/7/2008 07:51AM PST

"I became self-employed in 2007 and was already using iCal to keep track of time I spent working for clients as well as keeping track of the duties I did for each one, each day. I would exporting my iCal notes into PDF form, create invoice by hand and then email both to my clients.

Discovering Office Time was a Godsend.

It imports all of my stuff, I hit "create invoice", put it in PDF form, and I'm done!"

A great app! - Version: 1.3, 4/7/2008 08:31PM PST

OfficeTime has been an AWESOME program to have! I do a lot of work from home, at work, for different clients and it was VERY confusing for me to keep track of, and send to my boss... Until I found (through Versiontracker) OfficeTime. It has been a great way to keep track of my time because it can multiple categories, each with its own pricing and everything. I can send an invoice by using a pre made template (or custom made) to send off to my boss.

I love OfficeTime and would STRONGLY recommend it. I only have 2 small issues with it, one of them not being the dev's fault. If you open an officeTime file of a server, and the next time you open officetime and the server is disconnected, it will hang for a minute. THis is due to OS X's networking most likely. The second is that the interface isn't very "Mac Like" but thats mainly because they want to keep it cross platform, which is understandable.

So to conclude, I love this program and would recommend it to anyone. The developers are very very nice and get back to you the second you send them something. This is up there with some of my other favorite Mac Apps like Transmit and BBedit!

My most valuable business application - Version: 1.3, 3/19/2008 05:57AM PST

As a former freelance creative and now a self employed web designer I have searched for, and tried, many solutions for personal time keeping and project tracking. As far back as the early 90’s I have used simple clocks to fully fledged Project Management applications. I even attempted solutions based on my Newton (yes, I know) and my Palm Pilot. All of these solutions were either to limited, too cumbersome or simply needed me to remember to do something.

Then came OfficeTime. Set up as one of my Start Up items, it’s always available and prompts me every time I scroll through my open applications. I cannot say what is the single most valuable feature other than it is extremely easy to use. Principally I use it to generate reports before invoicing with MYOB. I can quickly justify time spent to my customers and evaluate new projects against historical data. Another use I have for it is to generate TO DO notes for each project.

In summary I would probably consider OfficeTime my most important business application, after all if I can’t track my time efficiently I cannot invoice correctly.

My only real wish list item would be that it integrated with Entourage calendars as well as iCal. If I can do this already please let me know :) Thank you so much and keep up the good work.
