Welcome to Chronicus, the personal time accounting tool for Apple Macintosh. Users of Chronicus who already are accustomed to time accounting software will welcome the unparalleled and powerful features and capabilities Chronicus offers. Newcomers will be especially pleased with the ease of use.
We have made the tedious and often complex task of tracking time and optionally, billing rates, so easy that a four year old can monitor their time. Chronicus allows one to detail most any collection of activities, so the overall track of time will suit an indivuals' need.
If this is your first time using Chronicus, we have some good news: you are on the way to effective time accounting. You have found the right program. Soon Chronicus will earn such a status on your Macintosh that you’ll be wondering how you got along without it.
We hope that you enjoy the benefits of using Chronicus as much as we have. Thank you for using Chronicus! From the friendly folks at SQUEEM Software.

4. Using the program
Simply double click the Chronicus to launch the application. Immediately the Chronicus window appears with three options in a pull down menu bar. NOTE: UNREGISTERED COPIES ALLOW UNLIMITED USE USING ONLY THREE ITEMS.
Begin tracking time by click the "Start" button, stop time tracking by clicking the "Stop" button. The "Clear" button resets the current time. By clicking on the drop down menu bar you can switch to a different category to track your time. The process of switching to a different category, stops the tracking of time on the previous item, there is no need to click "Stop" first.
Choose "preferences" under the "edit" menu. A dialog appears with a list of account names and billing information. Use the "Add" and "Delete" buttons to modify categories. NOTE: UNREGISTERED COPIES ALLOW UNLIMITED USE USING ONLY THREE ITEMS.
Double-clicking a category brings up a dialog that allows one to modify the billing rate associated with a particuliar category.
