I was hoping this would be better because I like the charts, etc. it has that On The Job doesn't but it's not worth dealing with the clunky interface just for that.

A few people see the option to sync with more than one calendar when upgrading to iCloud because Apple is keeping some of the old calendars behind the scenes. If you integrate with an "invisible" calendar, your events won't show. We're working to hide these calendars properly. Luckily it's easily fixed by making a new calendar to integrate with. More info here:

As always, email us anytime through the help menu in OfficeTime and we're of course happy to honor a money back guarantee. :)

Thanks for the friendly reply, but this doesn't address the problem I mentioned regarding OfficeTime. The calendars are there, but OfficeTime does not currently have the ability to import/synch events from a specific time period, ie. last month. OfficeTime only allows import/synch for the entire calendar or for keywords within that entire calendar, which would dictate that one must be very careful about using specific naming conventions for each calendar event, which can get cumbersome and introduce errors. I am currently using iBiz which allows me to invoice and import data from a specific calendar for a specified period, which is far simpler in my work flow. What if I work on multiple projects for a single client (one client per calendar) over a period of several months and I would like to bill in monthly increments?
So you could just make a quick report for last month, press invoice and you've billed only what you need.
I'd be happy to offer additional tips. Feel free to email me at support at officetime. Net

Some are good, some are not so good, but without fail, every single one has tried to make me work their way.
This is the first App I have used that just does as much or as little as I want it to. Combined with the iPone/iPod Touch/iPad version, (which simply syncs and works) it's simply a sublime experience.
I just love brilliant software that improves my life, this is up there with the greats like Photoshop!

Did you get a solution from OfficeTime support? If not please email me at support at officetime. Net. We're here to help!
So far we haven't had any other reports of problems and 1.6.1 seems to be working great on Lion (including 10.7.1).
Cheers,
Stephen

I searched around and tried a few demos, but none did what I needed.
Eventually I came across OfficeTime beta 0.5. It was pretty good. Didn't do quite ALL that I needed, but was enough, and the price was right! What really made all the difference was that I wrote Stephen with my requests and suggestions, and he wrote back! Not only that, but in time he did implement a number of the features I required. Particularly important for me was the ability to track several projects simultaneously, since the nature of my work allows me to do that.
A lot has happened since then, and I have been using OfficeTime every single day non-stop ever since.
It has been most satisfactory to see the evolution of OfficeTime into a robust, stable, and feature packed application that not only has improved steadily with each release, but also has maintained its original excellent level of support and aperture to client feedback.
I highly recommend it even if you find that it does not do absolutely everything that you need right at this moment. Support and developer's response has been unfailingly consistent during the last 5 years, and that aspect alone,in my estimation, places OfficeTime head and shoulders above any competing product in the market.
Kudos to Stephen for a job superbly well done!

A few suggestions i would love to see in next updates:
1) Timing seconds, not only minutes and hours.
2) More options how to display jobs.
Now you can only see the jobs by drop down menu, i would like to see all the jobs in the open window like this app: http://stuntsoftware.com/onthejob/
The display of the time log in the open window is not necessary at all, & it just confuses me, i would rather want to see in front of my eyes all my active jobs.
3) Clients & jobs: you should be able to put jobs under clients, like "Jack" is the client, & i have a few jobs for Jack.
I know it can be done now by categories, but it cannot be seen by the drop down menu of the job list.
Otherwise I love this program.
Thanks.
OfficeTime does track seconds, it just generally doesn't display them. If you mouseover the large duration display while timing, a tooltip will tell you the seconds.
Both clients and always on-screen jobs/projects are coming!
As always, feel free to send feature requests to us. The way that gets our attention the quickest is just go into the app, and choose Help->Request Feature.

PS - If you're interested, we've an upcoming iPhone and iPad app that syncs with OfficeTime.

It would be great to be able to assign a shortcut key to "Pause Project". Since the name of the project changes in the menu, I wasn't able to do this via the Keyboard Shortcut utility in the System Preferences.
Also, it would be nice if the help file was searchable and integrated with OS X. Currently there is only an FAQ, which is not searchable.
Thanks for a great product.
You can pause by hitting Space but maybe a different key for when you're editing text would be handy. And yes, a searchable help doc is coming!

We're working hard on recent requests and the iPhone version.

However, one issue that I've noticed is that when you migrate your data file to a new Mac, almost every appointment (not every appointment, which is strange in-and-of-itself that it wouldn't be all or none) gets duplicated in OfficeTime. This has consistently happened every time I move my data file, and I've reported it to their tech support but got a general response indicating that it's not a known problem and apparently they could not reproduce it.
As my retainer client base grows, this is becoming an increasingly more time-consuming and frustrating issue to deal with, almost to the point where I would consider another solution that doesn't have this problem even if I lose some of the great functionality and flexibility OfficeTime offers. I hope they fix it soon.
Good news, hopefully. Your bug is fixed in the current release unless I'm mistaken.
Alas, no one else seemed to be affected by this.
It's likely a combination of migrating, iCal, OfficeTime and Google Calendar all syncing. I'll write to you directly with more info.
Otherwise, I'm glad you remain pleased with OfficeTime.

1. Run a Quick Report for a project and X out all the line items (a process I do for monthly retainer projects but not usually for one-offs).
2. Quit OfficeTime.
3. Migrate the OfficeTime data file to your new Mac or new installation of the operating system, etc.
This will prevent creating duplicates. This also works if you rename your iCal calendar(s) monitored by OfficeTime. In this case, you will have to go in to edit each project and select the correct calendar, but only active line items will likely get duplicated.
We're working hard on an iPhone version of OfficeTime.
In the meantime, you can sync seamlessly with iCal which will synch seamlessly with the iPhone. That means you can edit and create sessions on the iPhone in the calendar app.
We're always happy to answer questions about OfficeTime. Just use the support links in the Help Menu.
