![]() As the efficiency expert father of 12, Webb embarrasses his kids with his efficiency schemes, notably by showing their teacher how to take a bath in the time it takes to play one side of a phonograph record. ’s Time Manager Pro seems to have been developed with Clifton Webb’s role in Cheaper by the Dozen in mind. Time, Time, See What’s Become of Me: Less of a timekeeper than a time management aid, Time Manager Pro measures seven categories of time. I didn’t include the latter app in this round-up, though I expect to revisit this type of application in the future.) Time Manager In addition to SDK Innovations app, there’s also an app called (Note that the App Store’s tendency to have similarly named products rears its head here. And while Time Tracker lets you e-mail your data, the formatting disappears. Although Time Tracker does have fields for customers, projects and tasks, there is no way to budget time. The app is supposed to have a timer, but there is no obvious way of knowing this because there is no start button. But the app’s maddening and counterintuitive interface makes Time Tracker more of a time waster. SDK Innovation’s Time Tracker is a timesheet-style app, which appears easy to use at first. ![]() Out of Time: Time Tracker’s interface is too counterintuitive for my tastes. I had to restart the app for my changes to appear. I discovered to my dismay that my categories weren’t appearing. Timewerks has a minor bug in the way it adds and removes work items. I happened to think of that feature the other day, when I read how California is considering expanding the sales tax to include more services. I also noticed with Timewerks that there is no field for sales tax. If you make a mistake, you need to delete the entry and start over. You can edit unbilled hours, but not billed hours. But a much bigger drawback is the apparent inability to edit invoices. And TimeLogger helpfully lets you export your time sheets by e-mail either as a plain text or spreadsheet file. The app records jobs, clients, specific tasks and your own notes. ![]() And even though TimeLogger’s clock stops and starts at precise times, it’s still possible to edit time entries in case, say, you worked on a different project that you forgot to log. TimeLogger-and all of the other timekeeping applications I looked at-uses a scroll wheel to select and change dates and times. Tasks in TimeLogger are classified as categories, which users may add and delete with a few taps. But TimeLogger also lets you schedule starts and stops, and allows multiple timers to run at once with different time intervals for people who bill by the hour, half hour, tenth-of-an-hour, or by the minute. At its simplest, TimeLogger lets you start the timer when you begin a task, and stop it when you’re done. TimeLogger impressed me at once with its user friendliness. TimeLogger doesn’t have the loveliest interface in the world, but it’s clean and straightforward.
