Filling up the timesheet never interested me and the thought of remembering what I did through out the day and putting time against each one of them was a pain. I always wished if there is an easier way to do it or in a way automate this redundant task. There are many tools available to track time but for some reason I always found them a bit complicated and time consuming.
So, I decided to develop an application to keep track of my time. Time Tracking System is a step towards that. This application can be your personal time tracker. Any task can be tracked by simply selecting it from the task list.
The application is developed using Adobe Air 2 Beta and uses SQLite database for storing timesheet information locally. This is a very early version and I am continuing to work on it. The UI also looks basic and I have done the best I can within the available time. Thanks to Praveen for helping me with some of the UI and usability stuff.
The current version has the following features:
- Create tasks.
- Create projects.
- Daily and weekly timesheet in a read-only mode.
- Minimize application to task bar.
- Detect idle/away time
- Auto-updates
Plans so far…
- Search functionality for task and projects.
- Allow exporting of timesheet information to excel format.
- Export data into an user defined format. This could facilitate importing of data into other systems.
and more…
But, it all depends on user feedback. so feel free to use it and post your comments.
