Tictoc: the simple task timer
Today we’re proud to announce our first app into the Mac Store, Tictoc. If you’re like us, the last thing you want to think about when you’re working is tracking the time for that task. We built Tictoc for you, it’s the simple–out of your way–task timer. It lives in your menu bar and only pops it’s head up when you need it. You can start and stop it from the menubar with a single click and you can export all of your data into your favorite accounting or project management app.
Why we built Tictoc
Since going full-time with Overcommitted last month it was clear that we were going to need to start tracking time more often. There are many benefits to knowing exactly how much time you spend on each task–we’ll save that for another post. The Mac has plenty of timers available for it, but we have a particular taste when it comes to this sort of thing. We didn’t want some gaudy thing sitting on our desktop showing us every second we’ve clocked. We also didn’t want to have to take several actions to start and stop our timer. These, plus a few other features started us down the path of creating our own elegant solution.
What’s next for Tictoc
We’ve already received great feedback from people using and loving Tictoc. In the near future we plan to roll out additional features, these include: editing your timestamps, adding quick keyboard shortcuts and additional export options.
We hope you love Tictoc as much as we do. You can download it from the Mac Store here.
