Awesome Time Tracker

Awesome Time Tracker is a lightweight Java-based application whose purpose is to help you time how much it takes to complete certain tasks and activities. The tasks are saved in a database and reports are shown for any time period with all entries.

You can take advantage of the tool’s portability status and store it on USB flash drives. You can run it directly on the target system without having to follow the steps included in an installation process.

The GUI looks straightforward and provides an easy way for keeping an eye on multiple tasks at the same time.

The utility builds up a list with all of them and shows details about the name, total time, as well as start and end time. Plus, you can mark tasks as completed and view the total time summed up for all tasks.

Setting up a new task can be done by offering information about the name, adding time slots, and entering a short description. Tasks can be started or stopped. You can time a single event so you cannot activate multiple ones simultaneously.

Other important features worth being mentioned offer you the option to duplicate or delete tasks, filter data by completed tasks and time, and import/export Awesome Time Tracker information from/to XML file format.

What’s more, you can view a graphical representation with all events on a timeline, zoom in or out of the graph, jump to the current time, and build a timesheet report with tasks activated between a custom start and end date. The report can be saved to PDF file format.

Tests have shown that Awesome Time Tracker eats up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is hampered.

To sum things up, Awesome Time Tracker is not one of those time tracking applications with a rich suite of features but it keeps things simple enough to be decoded even by less experienced users.
