LazyCure

Knowing just how long it takes for you to finish specific tasks is a proper method of increasing productivity. On the bright side of things, this activity doesn’t require a lot of effort on your behalf, or any complex functions. For instance, LazyCure is the app to use to count your tasks, and even generate reports to serve on the long run.

Installation doesn’t take long, and the application is launched right afterwards. Just make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your computer so you don’t run into any issues. A pretty compact window shows up on launch, with several timers already tracking undergoing activity. Once configured, you can send the program to the tray area, and even manage several functions from there.

Adding tasks is an incredibly easy process, and only requires you to write, as the program states, what you are doing. On the downside, the counter starts right away, and doesn’t give you a chance to prepare anything. In fact, the timer is always active, adding seconds, minutes, and hours to the selected task.

Hitting the done button is how you know a task is finished, letting you view it in the report later on. All tasks you complete get saved, and can also be selected again, which is especially helpful for long-term projects, or repetitive activities.

You can easily generate a report of all activities, displaying name, total time spent, as well as the end time. Sadly, dates are not displayed. In terms of export, you can save and load timelogs saved under the application’s own format, but also XML files.

All things considered, we can state that LazyCure is a reliable choice when it comes to enhancing your workflow. Multiple activities can be tracked, with reports letting you get a clear overview. However, you might find it a little difficult to handle the counter, since it’s almost always active.
