RIA Development with Adobe Flex and Flash

This past week I found myself in a position of indepentently working from my home office again. After years working with the same productivity software on a daily basis, I found myself scrambling to figure out what open source and free software tools are on the market these days. My first decision was to decide what I could use to keep track of my time and record every step of my daily work routine. Wether you are in sales, software development, or project management, every minute you spend working that goes unaccounted for is like dropping a penny on the ground and not picking it up. Tracking your time accurately is essential to staying ahead of your competition and benchmarking your success.

The problem I find with most of the time tracking software that I see is that they are way to complex. I just need something simple that can track my daily work by the hour. That’s it, … plain and simple. So, I stumbled upon this sweet little Adobe® AIR app that is simple but not really plain at all. In fact it is a super hot looking application that has just the right combo of feelgood and lookgood.

Klok - Personal Time Tracking Made Easy has all the capabilities you would look for in such an app including the ability to track your work by client and project as well as a seemingly unlimited level of sub-projects or tasks. Each project item is color coded and it’s a piece of cake to drag and drop items to the timesheet or to the built in timer to create your entries.
