I am a big fan of the little timer window that will record your time as you work. One thing that it is lacking is the ability to have different sheets/projects although you could use tags to differentiate. I have been using a web application called <a href="http://tiktrac.com" rel="nofollow">Tiktrac </a> for a while now and I like it a lot although it doesn't allow you to record the time as you work.

Just to be clear, it won't keep tracking your time once you close the window (it will stop and save to the server). Were you hoping for the latter? I've had other people mention confusion about whether the checkbox starts the task or not. I probably should bite the bullet and make the links underlined, I would think that would help. @Don: High on the TODO list is making it so that when you load up the timer your total time on tasks from the start of the day are loaded in there.

That is one of the top things I aim to fix and if you have any input on solutions please post them on the forum. Thanks. @Nick: You can certainly create tasks and share them with your coworkers.
