Ask HN: What is your preferred time tracking tool?

3 pointsby tnorthcutt16 anni fa7 comments

I'm looking for something that's so easy to use I'll actually remember to use it. Preferably something with a desktop app, but open to web-only if it's good. I've tried Klok, but don't care for the interface.

I wrote this: http://stufftodo.dedasys.com - although it's currently undergoing a major overhaul. If you're interested in hacking on it, improving it, selling it for a cut, or whatever, feel free to write.

Have you tried http://www.paymo.biz/ I'm using it, it has a desktop version and a web version, works very nice.

I've yet to find a decent free offering, so I just use a spreadsheet in google docs.

F5 timestamp in Notepad.

Interesting. Do you keep a separate log for each activity, or add a note with what activity you're working on? Also, any easy way to make that work if your default program for .txt files is not Notepad?
