WorkingTime

Regardless of whether you are a writer, consultant or other professional who charges for their expertise by the hour, chances are that you need a tool that enables you to keep track of the time you spend on your various tasks and activities.

WorkingTime is a small, yet handy application that allows you to record the time you spend working at the computer on different projects accurately and with minimal effort.

The program comes with a neat and intuitive GUI that consists of a clean main window that displays the tasks you are tracking and a small counter that you can turn on and off to track the time you are working. Speaking of the counter window, you can alter its transparency level, so that it does not distract you from your job.

While you can add as many projects as you want to monitor the time you spend on them, it would be nice if you could set the app to start the counter when you get started or continue an activity automatically.

The feature would be especially useful for the times when you need to stop working to answer an email or you receive calls from your manager or customers. Moreover, it would be helpful if the app supported comments and notes, an option that can help you when reviewing your activities.

It is worth mentioning that the utility permits you to retrieve reports on the tasks you monitor. You can customize the logs so that they are displayed in different colors, so that you can determine which projects took the most of your time and energy at first glance.

The logs record the start and end of the project and include details such as the date along with the hour, minute and seconds you spend completing or updating parts of your projects. Providing that you remember to turn the counter on and off, the app can offer you some insight on whether you need to improve your productivity.

If you are looking for a solution that enables you to register the time you spend on your projects accurately, then perhaps WorkingTime could come in handy.
