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:

Version 1.32, the Speed and Stability Release, offers over 30 new improvements and bug fixes and is a free upgrade.

Improvements

  • New "blue sky" color scheme.
  • Improved preferences.
  • Reports, particularly those with subtotals, now substantially faster.
  • Calendar integration from OfficeTime to iCal is now twice as fast. This will be most noticeable when integrating new projects with iCal.
  • OfficeTime now quits twice as fast.
  • improved menu bar icon. Now fits in better with other Mac OS X icons.
  • Converts user-entered option-space to regular space for category and project names which could have alllowed name duplication.
  • OfficeTime datafiles now show the new OfficeTime logo.
  • Does not suggest "company" as part of the invoice file name if there is no company.
  • Menubar/Taskbar Quickstart icon section dividers are now more obvious and not selectable.
  • Damaged preferences recovery now uses your system username instead of anonymous or nil.
  • Improved bug reporting: now includes your system crash log.
  • Now warns 10.3 (Panther) users that .RTFD files cannot be used for invoices. ( Use .RTF invoice templates or upgrade to Tiger, Leopard or better.)
  • Now always scrolls to the top of a comment when the session is selected which prevents apparently empty comments from showing when they are just scrolled too far down.

Bug Fixes

  • No longer crashes occasionally when editing a session's notes. ( This combined with fixes in 1.31 should fix more than half of all known crashes. )
  • No longer fails to show the last item of detail on an invoice if the previous report did not have a grand total showing. The invoice total time and money was always correct on the invoice. ( Broken in 1.31)
  • Fixes a rare bug where the timer shows substantially more time than is actually timing. The timer always displayed the correct time when stopped and the bug was only shown while timing.
  • Fixes an occasional conflict on Leopard with other menubar icons.
  • Fixes a menubar icon conflict with multiple monitors when one monitor is placed on top of another.
  • OfficeTime datafiles now properly put the officetime extension (.OTD) on the end in Leopard.
  • Fixes a memory leak when integrating with the calendar.
  • No longer becomes unresponsive after editing a category for some users.
  • No longer crashes when receiving rare bad, empty information from the calendar.
  • Fixes very rare calendar integration problem related to computer's internal ticks wrapping around to zero.
  • Stops any inline notes editing when resizing the window to avoid display problems.
  • Prevents Reapply Rounding from applying to currently timing sessions which could, in rare instances, have unexpected effects.
  • The Up and Down arrows can be used again to change the time on a session. ( Broken in 1.31)
  • The graph legend now sorts properly for all international users.
  • The comment text, at bottom, no longer shows in the category color when you first start typing.
  • Backup Now backs up your current data, not your data of 1-2 minutes ago.
  • No longer sometimes names invoices "company name.rtfd.rtfd."
  • Invoices with only 1 session or expense now show the session or expense properly.

OfficeTime ReviewOfficeTime: Powerful and Extremely Simple - Version: 1.3.3, 12/9/2008 02:02PM PST

After using iBiz, Studiometry, Billings, Quicken and MYOB - OfficeTime is a breath of fresh air. The thing I like most is how simple it is to start tracking your time, yet how powerful it is at the same time. I would like to see more invoice/payment tracking (which is said to be in the works), but even as is, this is my favorite time tracking software. I use it to track all of my time, work and personal and the reports give me a great overview of where I spend my hours.

I can't say enough great things about this software, and the support/response I have received from the developer is excellent. Do yourself a favor and try this software - you will be hooked.

OfficeTime ReviewOfficeTime is just what I needed for time tracking - Version: 1.3.3, 10/30/2008 04:35PM PST

After switching from Windows to Mac, I hunted fruitlessly for a decent time-tracking application until I finally found OfficeTime. I searched everywhere and tested a number of competing products, but was invariably disappointed. Then I finally ran across OfficeTime and now I'm a very happy user.

As an independent software developer, I need to be able to easily and reliably run a time-tracking clock when working on client projects, as well as tracking activity for my business and professional work so I know where my time goes. It needs to be easy to turn on and off, and I need to be able to view, edit, categoriize, and organize time records to review my work estimates and report billable hours.

OfficeTime is exactly what I needed: nice UI, easy to use, lets me edit and organize work records. Not too complicated, doesn't try to be what it's not. I don't want a financial or accounting app, I want a time logging and reporting app. OfficeTime works great!

I've been using OfficeTime for a few months now and cannot recommend it highly enough....

I'm a developer and use the software EVERY day and truly couldn't live without it! Before OfficeTime, I would track my time in excel, usually forgetting to record when I started or finished a project, and basically just making guesses. Now, OfficeTime makes it easy to just click the timer button once when I start a project, and again when I'm done. I don't have to enter a date and time. I don't have to think about it at all, and I always know I my billing is accurate.

Recently my windows vista laptop locked up (the problem had nothing to do with OfficeTime). I shut off my laptop (a hard-reboot), started it back up, opened up OfficeTime and was pleasantly surprised that OfficeTime was aware that it had been in-elegantly shut down, and offered to send a bug-report to technical support. [now that's good customer service!]

The program started back up without any problems, and my last session
was ended right where I left off.

The other feature I just love, is when I walk away from my laptop for any length of time, OfficeTime knows the computer has been idle and offers to deduct the minutes while I was "away" or keep them... this is a lifesaver! It allows me to be sure I don't bill customers for non-productive time.

HIGHLY recommended... Best software purchase I've made in years.... Lots of features for the cost.
