However, it certainly needs some more work and I am not sure whether Stunt Software is really working on this application. It took them more than two years to move from version 3.0.3 to version 3.0.6; one of the application's biggest problems (creating reports) seems to get not addressed; the latest entry in the blog on their website is from July 2011 (announcing the upcoming release of OS X 10.7); their support forum is full of topics with problems and requests and not much seems to happen (except getting the status "assigned).
It would be great it Stunt Software could convince me and others that they are indeed working on this software! After all, $40 is not exactly cheap - a software like this deserves active development.

I like most everything about On The Job except the invoicing and also editing times for work is cumbersome as well.

There's a lot of frustrating things about this app, even simple things like customizing text on an invoice. It's too bad, this app could have been great. It's time for me to move on.

It appears, the makers of On the Job have shifted to the more lucrative iPhone app market. Maybe the Mac App store will eventually spark a revival, until then, place it somewhere between abandonware and Duke Nukem Forever.

* Most time/billing apps I have used mark an item as billed once it has been used on an invoice, but On the Job lets you re-invoice previously invoiced items over and over again.
* On a printed invoice, there is no way to show the unit cost of a line item. You can only show the quantity and the extended total.
* No updates since Aug 2009. Developer seems focused on iPhone/iPad development.

Each job has a title and notes as well as the times in which you worked on the job. It has a list of all the dates and starting times you activated the timer for that particular job. You can invoice 3 different filters -- Invoice this Job, this Client or All Jobs. Then you set the date range.
The invoices are okay. You can choose from templates and customize them if you want. This is where the app breaks down a little. The customization is a little awkward and hard to get "just right", so if you are a perfectionist, good luck getting exactly what you want out of them. But, overall you can get a nice invoice to send to you client.
Another cool feature is the menu bar icon which you can start and stop timers for any of your jobs. The app has a great inactivity monitor which if inactive for too long it warns you and gives you a choice to stop and remove time or continue. The one thing it misses that I would like is a pause.
Pros: Clean interface, nice organization, inactivity monitor, menu bar control and it hasn't crashed on me yet (I have been using this for months).
Cons: Invoice "designer" is a bit awkward and hard to get "just right"; no pause job, just stop job and I would like, but don't need, a notes section for the different times (nice if you want to leave yourself a note from where you left off).
Summary: A good solid and stable app that does exactly what you need and quite a bit of what you want. It is a crucial piece within my workflow.
