I've tried a number of tools and can not find the right one. I dont need a timer tool (i always forget to start and stop), and it doesnt need to interface with anything.
My employer has their PITA time and expense tool, so i'll have to double enter into it. but i need a way to keep track of both time and expense during time cycles and sometimes between them.
Ideally, the tool would allow for:
- entry of time/ expense without a complex UI (i use .25 hour increments and dont care about the time of day, just total hours worked in the day).
- mark time and expenses by project
- mark them as billed or submitted (often im carrying time or expense between cycles due to not having billing codes setup so i need to be able to track if i've entered something or not by entry).
That's all it needs to do. Currently i use excel, but often find that it's the last thing i want to update at the end of the day.
I do some consulting and use Time Master for counting billable hours. It has some in app purchases which cost extra obviously but allow me to sync between my iPhone and iPad and to generate invoices I can send to clients. The clients seem happy with the details the invoice can carry. It can back up to Dropbox which I like. It has an expense tracking capability but I haven't used that part of it. For expenses I use BizXpensTrkr.
