Timestamp is an OSX app that aims to record your working time automatically by creating events in the system's Calendar app. It is simple, unobtrusive, and perfectly fit for:
- Freelancer paid by working time.
- Employee who need to record his or her daily and over working time.
Want to know how long you have been working? Just look up at the menu icon.
From left to right, each icon represents the time have passed since working: 20 minutes, 35 minutes, and 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Instead of clicking the menu to start/stop, if you are working in the office or in a coffee shop with fixed WiFi, you can set it as the preferred WiFi from the preferences window. After doing that, Timestamp will automatically start/stop when you connected to / disconnected from the preferred WiFi.
Timestamp comes with Alfred Workflow support, so that you can control Timestamp quickly and freely without moving the cursor around. To get the workflow, simply import it from the preferences window.
Yes. Actually OSX's Calendar supports various Calendar Accounts. You can add the one you like from:
Calendar > Preferences… > Accounts > clicking [+].
If you are using Google Calendars, then you can use some online tools to report (or event export) your working time. Here is one that I am using:
Can only be run in OSX 10.8 (details: it is using the EKEvent APIs, which are only available in OSX 10.8)
Your machine should have these tools installed:
- Ruby
- Imagemagick (used to convert iconset images)
- Xcode
Run these commands to get the environment prepared:
gem in cocoapods
cd timestamp
pod install
./Timestamp/Timestamp.iconset/convert.sh
Ok, you are good to go:
open ./Xcode.xcworkspace
