Wow, it's been almost 3 years since you wrote about tracking billable time. It's still a great resource for professionals who bill for time and expertise! I just wanted to let you know about our new app, Chrometa (http://www.chrometa.com). We've taken a totally hands-off approach to time tracking. Our time tracking app tracks all of your PC-based activities automatically. All you have to do is categorize what the software has already recorded. We got a bit fed up with forgetting to start our timers, so we created Chrometa to solve that little problem. I hope you and your readers will find this useful. We have a free trial on our website, and the pricing is $99 :) Cheers! JP Hi Tammy!

I've played around a bit with Billings but not gotten into it much, so your information is really helpful. Have a groovy weekend! Thanks for the contribution, Dave.

I've had it for about 4 months and I think it is the best billing/tracking/invoicing piece of software on the market for any platform. It easily allows you to track multiple projects and tasks. Invoicing is a breeze and the graphics are great. It's easy to design an invoice and that's probably the hardest part of the program. Anyway, enough of its praises. There is a demo version on the website. Tammy,

I'm not positive I'm understanding the problem you're experiencing, but let me try this: When you click on your project name (your job listing), you should get a drop-down menu with a timer start and other options. Can you see that? Tammy Hey there, Vickie.

The invoice templates can only be created by hand (you have to know basic html). A visual designer would indeed make things easier but it would take too long to implement it. We want to add other important features first and then maybe deal with this problem. We make invoice templates free of charge. You can request a customized template even if you don't buy the product. Just send us a sample invoice (html, text, pdf, image, etc). P.S. We are also planning a Mac version. Thanks, Nicu Hi Tammy,

I could make sense of Time Tracker & was very excited about the prospect of having it work for me. It's just a blank page w/ my first "job" listing. Help doesn't help. Help?

Readers, it's a Windows application that you can try out for free and buy for $39 US. Nicu, the invoice template appears to require some knowledge of html for personalizing. Have I understood that correctly or can someone personalize the look of their invoice with wysiwyg (readers, that's what you see is what you get)? Many Mediator Tech readers are not familiar with html or coding. I see you offer to help with personalizing invoices...is that a free service with the purchase of the software?

We have designed Fanurio to help freelancers manage their work and be paid for it. It can do basic project management, time tracking and invoicing in order to have all the functionality in one place.
