totally legendary web applications

If you need to track time efficiently, you’ll go a long way to find an application that does the job as well and proficiently as SlimTimer. I actually looked around quite a while after finding this app a month or so ago to ensure that there was nothing better and I came up dry. Slim Timer is built on the solid Ruby on Rails framework and has some tasteful usage of Ajax. Its a simple application to use, but one that is largely capable of time tracking for any size corporation or project. Future to-do’s are Blinksale integration for easy invoicing. When that happens, I’m sure this application will sky rocket in its following. Awesome stuff.

From the SLIMTIMER you can create tasks and even share them with your coworkers and those you report to. Open the SLIMTIMER and click on a task to start the clock and click again when you’re finished. If you’ve completed the task click the checkbox to mark it off. Close the browser when you’re done. Run reports of not only your time but also that of your coworkers and reportees. You can export any report to CSV(Excel), subscribe to its RSS feed, or email it to a colleague.

I love the fact that your timed tasks can be tagged so that when you’re printing reports, you can print a report for all the work done relating to a certain tag. Their reporting functions are really awesome and my clients so far have been really impressed with the quality of the reports. Times are totaled up for tasks and tags and the whole system is run with a little pop up timer that you stop and start like a stopwatch. It’s really simple to use and it makes tracking your time a lot more fun than it should be.
