Keeping Time With Klok
Once you have downloaded Klok, it gives you a sample project that allows you to start playing with it. It contains two views, weekly and project. Inside weekly view you can see the weekly layout of what you’re working on and the time that was invested. If you need to see your time for a project, click on project view and see an overview of time spent on that project.
One of the coolest features it has is that it adds a folder structure to each project that is created. When you create a project, it has folders for Meetings, Design, HTML, Scripting, Testing, and Server-side Development. In addition to that, you can add more folders, or if you wish, you can create a blank project and add all the folders yourself. I have found that for most projects, the folder structure that I mentioned fits like a glove.
Need to keep an eye on your time while working? No problem. Inside Klok is a button that allows the app to float on top of your other windows while being minimized. While the app is floating you can still see what project youre logged into and the current time involved. If that bothers you, just minimize it to your taskbar, or your dock (I’m guessing, not a Mac user), and keep working.
Although I haven’t used it yet, Klok does have the ability to create timesheets and reports. All in all I cannot say enough about this app, it suits me perfectly, and I suggest you give it a test drive. Keep in mind that like all AIR apps, it does use quite a bit of memory but I have never noticed a performance issue with it.
