Timekeeper streamlines the task of tracking the time you spend on projects. If you bill for your time by the hour, you should find Timekeeper an invaluable tool. If you report your hours on a daily basis (e.g., in a design firm or law office), the Daily Timesheets stack that comes with Timekeeper can save you hours of entering time on company timesheets.
Timekeeper tracks time by client, project and activity (e.g., Drafting, Design, Meetings, Administration, etc.). Each of these categories has its own list, so you can enter information quickly, easily and accurately. When you create a project listing, Timekeeper automatically creates a Job Sheet where daily entries are accumulated and stored. Information is entered in a Daily Timesheet, and then automatically transferred to the Job Sheets with one command. You can automatically create reports of your daily activities and print job sheets or export job sheet information to databases, spreadsheets or word processors.
Here are some of Timekeeper’s features and benefits:
• Timekeeper can time projects as you’re working on them.
• Timekeeper’s method of list entry makes timekeeping quick, easy and accurate.
• You can keep lists of as many activities, clients and projects as you need.
• You can print reports on projects or daily activities quickly and easily.
• You can keep notes on any time entry — especially useful for justifying billings.
• You can refer to your time entries for completed jobs when estimating new projects.
• You can export project information for use in other programs.
Virtually everything you can do in Timekeeper can be accessed through the Timekeeper menu, including a Help screen that details most of its functions. The “About Timekeeper” menu command is at the bottom of the Timekeeper menu. (You can also get help by clicking on the question mark icon in the lower left of the screen.) Read through Timekeeper’s Help before you do anything else. Be sure to read the sections on “Settings,” so that you can customize Timekeeper to meet your needs before you start using it extensively. Then all you need to do is set Timekeeper’s date to the first date for which you’re entering time, and “timekeep” away! If you’d like to install a button in your Home stack (or any other stack) that will go to Timekeeper with a click of the mouse, be sure to open the “Timekeeper Button” stack.
This Timekeeper demo is limited only in the number of projects it allows you to track. You can create up to six additional Job Sheets with the demo version, for a total of seven (Timekeeper comes with one Job Sheet.) Should you find it useful, for only $30.00 U.S. you can purchase the full working version, which comes with complete documentation on disk. Terms of sale for Timekeeper are one person per paid copy, however discounts are available for sites wishing to provide Timekeeper to multiple users.
The complete Timekeeper Demo package may be distributed freely by user groups, bulletin boards and others, provided no fee is charged other than a minimal amount to cover actual costs of media and duplication. The entire package, including the “Timekeeper,” “Daily Timesheets” and “Timekeeper Button” stacks, the “Time Report” FileMaker Plus template and this READ ME FIRST text file, must be distributed together, unaltered in any way.

Note:
Timekeeper requires HyperCard 2.0 or later. HyperCard 2.0 requires System 6.05 or later, and runs best on a Macintosh equipped with a 68020-based CPU or better, and 2 megabytes or more of memory. It is recommended that at least 1250K RAM be allocated to HyperCard for printing from Timekeeper. However, HyperCard and Timekeeper will run on any Macintosh from a Mac Plus on up, provided it has the proper system software and sufficient memory.
