iTimes TimeTracker iPhone/iPod Touch App
iTimes TimeTracker is a very easy to use time tracking tool for
Apple's iPhone/iPod Touch products. It is meant for all of us who
need to report times spent on projects and project sub tasks.
It can be found in
Apples' iTunes App Store.
Usage: Simply add items to iTimes TimeTracker and tap the "start"
button on your current activity. iTimes starts to continously
update the time spent on this activity.
If you have to switch to another activity,
tap "start" on the new activity. The old item is paused and can
be reactivated at any time.
In case you have to report times spent on subtasks, you can
very easily create a hierarchically ordered set of activity
items. A started sub item automatically
updates the total time of the parent item(s).
If you put a parent item on pause
(e.g. via a switch to another item at the same level) an active
sub item is automatically paused, too. This sub item is then
displayed with status "yellow" instead of "red" because it wasn't
stopped explicitly but indirectly because of the status change of
its parent item.
If you later restart the parent item, the previously
active sub item timer is automatically restarted, too.
iTimes TimeTracker can be closed to use other iPhone/iPodTouch
functions and applications while a timer is active. It will then
show a red badge on the application's icon to remind you that a
timer is still running.
The collected data can be exported via mail in an Excel friendly CSV
format. While the front end only shows the accumulated item
times, this mail export also reveals the details of all recorded
start/stop time stamps in addition to the accumulated times.
iTimes TimeTracker was developed with business use in mind but it's great
tool for private activities, too. E.g., for sports activities like jogging or
inlining it's great to record times for predefined route sections and
the total route time.
If you create day based group items you can always compare your new
times with yesterdays results.
