Dear HN,<p>I've been on quite a journey finding a proper time tracking solution. I'm looking for a simple 'tool' (can be web based, but preferably with OSX client) which allows me to track time for several clients. Some kind of timesheet export would be good. But I don't need a whole business management software with it.<p>https://www.toggl.com
doesn't look too bad, but recurring $5 for a start/stop button? I'm not sure. Maybe if the interface would be awesome.<p>http://www.flamebrain.com/download-watchme/
is a great little (!) windows app which I have been using a few years back. something like that with timesheets, and for OSX would be it.<p>http://www.getklok.com/
is horrible UI wise. the features are quite interesting though, but I don't wanna use it.<p>Aren't there some nice, contemporary open source projects out there? I couldn't find any...<p>What are you using?
I like <a href="http://freshbooks.com" rel="nofollow">http://freshbooks.com</a> it can also track business expenses, invoice, etc. It's nothing ground breaking but I believe they are a strong company and will be around for a long time.
I love Harvest because it takes that recorded time and pops it into an invoice. I wouldn't call it "a whole business management" solution, but it does a great job.<p><a href="http://www.getharvest.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.getharvest.com/</a>

It's not web based and has the xls export feature as a premium feature, but it's pretty flexible and unobstrusive. <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rauscha.apps.timesheet" rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rauscha.ap...</a>
We implemented <a href="http://www.paymo.biz" rel="nofollow">http://www.paymo.biz</a> in our company and we're happy with it. They have mobile apps and desktop apps for Win and Mac.<p>The design is a little out dated, but they're launching a new version so that's sorted.
