You can choose to have the figures rounded to whatever value you would like, or you can set the software to give you exact figures. The software basically works by keeping track of hours that you work that you need to bill your client, and it also keeps track of expenses that you incur in the process of running your self-owned business.Īs you complete tasks and projects, OfficeTime will calculate how much time you spent on each project so you can see how productive you were relative to the amount of payment you received for your effort. It trades in flash for practicality, and that investment keeps the software small and highly useful. That said, let me reiterate that I really like this software for the most part and certainly recommend it for small businesses and individuals.Overall Opinion: While OfficeTime certainly isn't the most complicated piece of software on the market, it is certainly one of the most usable. I'd reconsider if I could manage the layout. I don't use it for invoicing since I can't customize the form and already have an okay system set up in FileMaker. No way to customize the invoice or even make sure my logo isn't stretched out of recognition.Ĭreating reports is a bit cumbersome, but at least they're there. In fact, the three standard buttons (close, minimize & zoom) are missing from several windows. No way to get out of Preferences without saving (okay button only), and I don't always want to save. I need this function as I record hours worked out of my office (e.g., not on the timer).
Window size and placement should be remembered, but aren't.Ĭan't enter times into fields must use up/down arrows. There are, however, still some things that make it difficult for me to give it the five-star rating I know is possible. I think he (they?) pays attention to the boards and updates *do* happen. The developer tries to be responsive, but sometimes updates are slow to happen.
Cool feature and one I grew accustomed to very quickly. I pause one while I work on another then pause it to go back or to a different one.
OFFICETIME INVOICE STATUS WINDOWS
I often have several clients' task windows open during the day. I tested several and this one is the best for the price. It's pretty straightforward and easy to learn. I find I'm billing more accurately which directly translates into a boost for my bank balance. I've been using this for a while now and overall, I really like it. I don't want to abuse the rating system (hence, I'm leaving only a comment), but this dev deserves five stars. Although invoicing is still not quite what I'd like it to be, it's getting there, and I will certainly keep my eye on this app.( Just because it doesn't work for me, though doesn't mean it won't work for you ) I just had to drop a note and comment on the fact that this app has a very responsive developer behind it. AMAZING! We went back and forth a couple more times, with equally fast turnaround on Terry's (the developer's) part. I contacted the developer about the shortcomings for me, and within 24 hours he came up with some improvements along the lines of what I'm looking for (assigning categories to sessions). Alas, the invoicing itself is not as flexible as I would like it to be (in terms of categories, layout, and design). TaskTime looked promising and I took it for a spin. Backup data from within the program and moreĭownloaded this app because I've been looking for an invoicing solution that enables me to sync via dropbox so I can keep track of time spend on a project in the office and on the road.Export data in comma or tab separated format.Set due dates for projects and sync with iCal.Minimize project windows to a small, floating timer controller window.Link documents, applications, folders, and web/email addresses to any project.Use the Client Manager to add, delete, and edit clients (import clients from Mail contacts).Use the Project Manager to add, delete, rename, and store projects.Set a separate currency symbol on a project-by-project basis.Apply individual hourly rates to specific sessions.Keep project specific notes of any length and detail.Create clear, attractive, customized invoices and send with Apple Mail or Entourage.
Each expense item can have an individual tax rate. Since you can have more than one project open at a time it is easy to switch between projects on the fly. Create invoices that can be emailed, printed, and saved to disk. With TaskTime you can track any number of clients and any number of projects for each client. TaskTime makes keeping track of time spent on multiple client projects easy and efficient. TaskTime4 is a reliable and versatile time-tracking solution.
