Toggl

I hate time tracking. It’s a big fat pain in the ass. No one likes doing it.

But when clients are paying by the hour, or have purchased X number of support hours, there’s no escaping time tracking. Oh, the horror.

Enter Toggl.

One of the crucial things about any good software interface is figuring out the essential things and making them easy while figuring out what isn’t important and eliminating it.

Toggl nails this. Their slogan is:

Time tracking so easy you’ll actually use it.

I’ve actually found myself tracking time on things that I’m not even required to track, just to know. Because it’s so easy to do. They have Android and iPhone apps but I find the web interface so good I never use anything else.

Of course, many large companies could not use Toggl because their time tracking system has to integrate with 37 legacy systems while running on the corporate intranet.

We are not such a company. Toggl works great. And oh yeah, it’s cheap…
