Time tracking and Google Calendar

Almost everyone who is a custom design, it is necessary in some way to take into account the time spent to put the correct invoice to the customer. Well, if several projects, then no such records it is simply impossible to do business. We often encourage you to use Web-based applications in order to keep their affairs in order, and therefore it is not surprising that our attention was drawn to the tools to keep track of time using Google Calendar.

I came across two tools, and almost simultaneously, because I'll tell you about both.

First, gCalTasks, Is a gadget for Windows Vista Sidebar. He is exactly right for those who have learned or used to use the sidebar to enhance the effectiveness of their work. The tool of this kind is difficult to expect something special, but it makes it easy to do just that for which it is intended - to keep track of your time and enter the data into gCal.

The utility is able to work with both the public and personal calendars, does not consider that the calendars to Google Apps unworthy of attention, is compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows XP (if you replace the side panel support, of course).

The second program - timeEditionBut this is a separate program, has one advantage for those who love to keep their desktop empty - it is minimized to tray. In addition, there is a version for the Mac OS, which is also important, given the popularity of the OS narostaet.

Since it is the whole application, then it can be expected and more features. At almost the same simple interface programa has much more advanced capabilities. In particular, it allows you to keep track of multiple projects and allows you to add the color code to each of the customers. timeEdition integrates not only with gCal but also with Outlook or iCal on Mac OS X. In addition, you get a pretty Export Development tools, the account of different tariffs, automatic stop when inactive, and so on.

Color code and you will see in gCalThat facilitates rapid analysis.

Both programs are interesting, and I do not presume to recommend you one thing, if you work with Windows, try it yourself. A makovodov can only try timeEdition.
