TinyTracker

The Tiniest Time Tracker Tendered Today!

How tiny?

If you work in an environment where you're not pestered on a daily basis to fill out your timesheets, you may find it difficult filling out months and months of them when they finally do catch up with you.

Drudging through emails, documents, hand-written notes and items logged in your issue tracking system is one way to figure out what you did, but it's painful, time consuming, and inaccurate. And if your manager questions how much time you've been spending on certain tasks, it may be difficult to recall off the top of your head.

TinyTracker is a Windows tool that allows you to easily keep track of what you're doing, doesn't get in the way, is quick to use, and makes it a breeze to complete your timesheets whether you do them daily, weekly, or not so often. It also integrates with external systems and you can even add your own customised functions.

Best of all, it's free!

You can get it from the download page.
