I seem to always forget where I actually spend my time when I am working on a client’s website, and I’ve been looking around for decent time tracking software for a while – scribbling down numbers on a bit of paper just doesn’t cut it any more.
Recently, I stumbled across Klok. It is an Adobe AIR application which will run on Mac/Windows/Linux. Not only will it run everywhere, it’s also free. Bonus.
But what does it do?
Klok is a time tracking application. It allows you to enter projects, and sub projects/tasks within those. This is obviously a major plus over other time trackers that only allow you to enter a task and track time for that task. You can also enter comments for each time you’re tracking work on a task
Klok features a ‘Project View’ in which you have an overview of the project details and time entries. There is also ‘Week View’ – a calendar like view that allows you to get a nice visual representation of what you’ve worked on.
Sadly the reporting and exporting in Klok isn’t anything to get excited over, at the moment it only seems to be able to show a pie chart of projects in the root of the project list, exporting of weekly timesheets is really just what it says on the label, you can only see a timesheet for 1 week and export that to an Excel document. This is something being addressed in future versions.
For those of you keen to give it a try, I recommend the latest Beta (1.5.1 RC1.1) – it has both weekly and monthly timesheet exports.
