Deceptively simple app that really helps!
Dont expect this app to provide fancy reports or graphs. Export data to CSV and play there. This app can complement other time tracking apps (if you want) by reminding you to start a timer for a new activity.
I jump back and forth among activities like a madwoman. I usually forget to start a timer in any standard timer app I use. This little app pops up now and then (I set it to high frequency, but its random) and asks me what Im doing. I can start typing and it autofills from any previous entry, with full-text search. So if I type "wiki" I see entries like "fix internal wiki," "add wiki entry," etc.
When I do remember to start a timer, a hotkey lets me switch activities immediately. So I dont have to just wait until it asks.
If it pops up and I dont want to track what Im doing (maybe Im eating lunch and dont care to store that info), I just cancel and that time chunk is just dropped.
I usually go for apps with a jillion features, but this simple one is more useful than many other apps Ive tried. It will help me know where my time is going and what to tell my boss when he asks why I havent finished project x. (Because he called me off onto projects a, b, c, and z!)
