Doing 1.2 - the time tracker for professionals

Targets all Palm machines. Now with colour support too.

You want to record your working hours quickly and conveniently, and export the data in a form that's compatible with your existing solution for bills, timesheets etc. Doing offers you:

  • Innovative UI for hassle-free clocking in and out.
  • The most flexible export facility of any time tracker - ideal for MSOffice among others.
  • Arbitrary notes attached to each burst of activity.
  • Graphical view of each week where you can edit the data by drag-and-drop.
  • Table of totals for all activities on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Here's a quick tour of Doing:

The list selection indicates what you are doing right now. When you walk into work you tap the project or activity you are starting on, and when you leave you click it back to 'Nothing'. During an activity, you may enter further details of what you are doing into the text-field below the list.
Suppose you forget to click the activity until you've already been at work for a while. Then you would want to wind the clock back before clicking the activity. You do this by dropping the pen onto the small clock symbol shown above and winding the minute hand of the big clock anticlockwise. You can also wind it forward if you already know when you are going to leave the office.
As you wind, the selected activity and stint-note text change to reflect the time selected. In this example, the lunchbreak is being entered although the afternoon might be half over. After entering the start of lunch the user might wind forward an hour and then click on whatever he did in the afternoon.
A typical week might end up something like this. When you poke a stretch of time, the bubble appears to tell you the name of the activity and the zoom bar focuses on that time. You can drag the boundaries around in time using either the main view or the zoom bar.
You can see your daily, monthly or weekly totals for each of the activities in return for a single click.
Doing exports memos that you can copy-paste directly into your (or your client's) existing spreadsheet or database, especially if it's MSOffice-based. There are three basic formats to choose from, under which you can select, deselect or rearrange (by drag+drop) various fields. You can also determine which activities count as work, and report them under more formal names.


I hope this meets your time tracking requirements, but if theres anything else you need, I'm all ears: gimme@stone-age-software.com.
