AutoPrompt

Keeping track of your toil

$2.99 Developer Inspiring Life Technologies, inspiringlife.co Requirements OS X 10.10 or later Time is money. But how much time equals how much money? AutoPrompt can help you answer that by logging how much time you spend on particular tasks. That data then enables you to predict how much time you’ll need to do those tasks in the future, and you can take the data into another app to invoice for billable hours if that’s the line of work you’re in.

AutoPrompt is small and simple, living in the menu bar until you invoke it or a preset time has passed. If it’s the former it asks what you’re doing and starts recording the time; if it’s a preset alarm, the app asks if you’re still doing the same task and if you need more time to complete it. You can specify your daily working hours and how often you should be prompted in the app’s preferences.

At the end of the day you can then see exactly how long you’ve spent on each thing in hours, minutes and seconds, and you can go back to look at historical data too. You can print the day’s tasks, send the data as email, or export to a text file. And that’s pretty much it. You can’t run multiple timers concurrently or group tasks into projects, and there’s no financial component to calculate billable totals.

the bottom line. A simple time tracker that’s probably too simple for most professionals’ needs.
