This has been a great thread. I tried a few others that I didn't know about, but
I finally have decided on officeTime, paid for it and everything ! My original

for me best. The web based solutions are not there yet. Now onl
Jennifer, thanks for mentioning Intervals. As one of the developers,
let me clarify a few things. Intervals is certainly a more
comprehensive app then the siloed web-based apps most of us are used
to (basecamp, etc). There are additional layers of complexity that

Hi Michael,
Can I add another timetracking/invoice sending/tea making site into the pot?
I really like Free Agent Central - http://www.freeagentcentral.com - I've
been using it for the past couple of months to manage my business accounts
and track time for various projects. It's quite UK centric f
Thanks Karen, I hadn't heard of Fanurio. It does indeed look like it covers
the bases, so I'll give it a try.
Who knew there were so many ways to track your time and bill?
Best,

Hi Michael,
I think Fanurio http://www.fanuriotimetracking.com is perfect for
your needs. It has all the features you mentioned. You can also
request a customized template for free, even if you don't buy the
product.
It's surely worth a look.

Hey,
I used to use some desktop software (mac only) called Studiometry..
it's been a few years since I was a freelancer, but it did everything
I needed then. HTML or Illustrator invoice templates, client
management, time tracking...

Hi Michael
I use Office Time and love it. I find it very flexible and quick to
use. I can get all the reports that I need and these are exportable.
I specifically chose a desktop - rather than web-based - application,
as I like to retain ownership and control over my business data. If
you use an
As co-founder of a boutique design & development consultancy, we have
various product ideas on the back burner that we can pursue to fill
up time between client projects and enhance our portfolio.
All I can say in this thread is that I'm abandoning any further work
on our time tracker concept...w

Wow, all that sounds like a lot of work. Why don't you expect your
solution to handle pret
Perhaps, but then I'd have to run reports by person instead of
project, which probably wouldn't give me what I want. But I'll give
that a try and see what happens.

Ah, that sounds more reasonable. Perhaps I can wean my clients from the

For rates, can't you just assign a default rate to each person and leave the
hourly rate blank for the tasks? (Assuming all tasks are billed at the same
person-rate.)

Actually, I go to reports, run reports per project and then take those
totals and manually type them into our Pages template. Sounds a bit
awkward, but it only takes about 5 minutes. We bill by task.
The biggest issue I have is that we have two bill rates: one for
consultants and one for pr
Thanks for the idea Todd. Do you go to Reports and export out the data you
want as a .CSV file, import it into Numbers, then move it over to Pages for
formatting? I don't see any way to edit the Harvest invoices directly.

Actually, you can track hours against an original estimate w/Harvest

We use Harvest and then manually generate invoices using Pages. I'm a
real stickler for how I want our invoices to look, which is the only
reason we use Pages to do this. Other than that, I'm pretty happy wi
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for the tip - it wasn't really even on my radar. When I looked at the
time video, it seemed like you have to do a lot of clicking around to enter
some time. And I wasn't really clear if the "module" part was required or
not - it just seems like an extra layer of categorization I

I am in the same boat and tried many of the apps that you have listed. I do not

I have it narrowed down to Harvest or Office Time. Feature wise Office Time does

I'm neck-deep in looking at various options for doing basic time tracking

this and figured I'd tap the collective wisdom here.
