And the next tool

The next tool I’m missing here is a simple time-tracking tool. I’ve played with a couple, including TimeLog, a desktop app for Mac, but I haven’t found any that I’m actually willing to pay money for. I like the fact that the timer runs on my desktop, so it reminds me to log when I’m working, but the interface is poor. There’s also the other TimeLog, which is web-based and very powerful, but it’s too much and too expensive for my small needs (Disclaimer: I know the people behind Timelog.com).

What tools do you use?

<p>I use planner timeclock mode for emacs :) Since I am always in emacs anyway its the perfect solution for me. Timeclock mode itself is built in to emacs 21. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//sacha.free.net.ph/notebook/wiki/PlannerMode.php&ei=ZmDzQsr-M6fmaMb_qaoD">planner mode</a> adds a powerful task manager, and note taking system as well. </p> <p> One day I'd like to get a Mac so I'd love to find something that integrates as well as these tools and integrates with the underlying desktop as well. Some people do everything in emacs, but I can't bring myself to go that far, so for email, etc. I need other tools to work with it.</p>

I use iBiz [ http://www.iggsoftware.com/ibiz/ ] ... mostly because when I was freelancing, it had the integrated invoice part ... pretty neat ... -- Bruno

Thanks for the tips, I'll take a look. So iBiz was that software that had to change its name so Apple could release their iWork bundle, I see.
