TaskTracer

TaskTracer is a small Adobe Air-based software application whose purpose is to help you track how much time you spend on different projects.

The tool reveals a clean and simple GUI that embeds all configuration parameters in a single panel. There’s no support for a help manual just a video tutorial showing the capabilities of the program.

TaskTracer gives you the possibility to group multiple user-defined tasks into different categories. What’s more, you are allowed to edit or delete tasks, add personal comments which are saved for each task, as well as create multiple subtasks.

Other important features worth being mentioned enable you to start or stop the current tasks, set the start and end time, check out the time when the task was finished, as well as get details about the left and spent time.

The application does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so you can keep it running in the background without having to worry that it eats up CPU and memory resources. TaskTracer hasn’t been updated for a while so you can make use of capabilities especially on older operating systems like Windows XP, Vista and 7.

To sum things up, TaskTracer provides a simple software solution and comes packed with basic features for keeping an eye on the time spent on different tasks. On the downside, it does not offer support for advanced options so you cannot set up custom audio notifications (WAV, MP3), automatically back up data to a file on your computer, schedule tasks, and generate reports, just to name some functions.
