Caato: Time Tracker & Work Log アプリのレビュー

Perfect for what I wanted it for!

Although you can only make one project with the free version, I've made more than 26 tasks so far under the one project, and that suits my needs perfectly. I do wish there was a way to see how many hours I've been working each day, not just by task, but for what I've been needing, this app works spendidly!

Best Tracking App Ever Created

Caato Time Tracker has been a life saver for my business. It's super simple and visually easy for me to add multiple clients and then break down all of the projects within each client. I have been using this app now for over four years and it has been reliable, easy-to-use and perfect for our business. I can export the data I need (if necessary) and it makes is seamless to invoice clients at the end of each month. I will continue to rave about this app!

An integral part of my workflow

It does what it says it is going to do, and it does it well. I use this app all day every day and it is an essential part of my workflow.

Remote Worker

I love this app, it helps me track my hours for differnt clients so easily!

Very simple yet amazing

I've been using this time tracking app for years now and I absolutely love it! No fancy graphs or features, just what I need, a simple and effective time tracker.

Timetracker works for me!

A functional program, and it works ok. I'd like to see a notes feature, and xeport options, but it does what I need it to do. Thanks

A gem

This software is versatile and easy to use allowing me to correctly record my consulting hours on multiple projects and categories within the projects.

Life Changing

I've been using this app for many years now. I only use it on mac desktop. It was a life changing app for me as an architect who has to track my time to the minute for multiple projects running at the same time. I'm not a big enough operation to need something more. I was writing on a calendar and then entering that time into a spreadsheet. Spending an hour or so each month doing my hours. That process now takes minutes with time tracker. Perhaps I could use more functionality. But right now, I don't know what I don't know!

Searching and idle pause

I love keeping time with tracker however I would like to search and when hte computer issilent for it to tell me there has been idle time. Thank you :0)

Does not Work witn Ventura

Used this for years, now broken in Vnetura, can't add any new tasks, have to find another program to use now!

Strating the clock is not obviouis

Starting and stopping a clock ought to be stupidly simple and it is not! The manual shows features the actual display does not have. I did not buy the pro version to see if that fixed the issue. Better to one star this and try another app that is consistent with the docuementation

Great Software

This time tracker is so easy to use and just works. I needed something simple that could organize all of the time I spent with each client.

great timekeeper

I appreciate the total simplicity of this app. It doesn't offer tons of bells and whistles that interfere with its basic purpose, and it offers the flexibility to track any mix of projects or sub-tasks you wish.

Just works

I've been using Caato for almost two years and I have to pay it a high compliment - it just works. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some other time tracking apps, but if you're looking for simple and functional, this is your app. I didn't need a huge suite of functions, I just wanted something to log time and spit it out as a spreadsheet. Caato does that brilliantly and is so reliable I trust it to log my time cards for me. Four stars only because the design could really use an upgrade - it looks like Windows Vista, lol. That's my one and only singular complaint.

Used to be great, not anymore

This little program was great for tracking multiple projects, but the updates have made it very hard towork with. Makes NO sense to me. Please give me back the old one!

Handy tool!

I work for several different clients and this is the perfect little tool to keep track of time spent on each client.

Great, easy tool for tracking time on multiple projects

I keep this open on my desktop all day to track time for various projects. (I work on overlapping projects for different clients, so need to track them all carefully). There's a very small learning curve ... just do a few practice runs and you'll get the gist. The sorting function is very useful; I can click on it, choose a specific week, and get the hours for that week on any given project. I've been using this for years and it's been rock solid.

UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS REVIEW (FIXED ISSUE)

Simply put, this continues to be the BEST time tracker app I've used. Its a daily essential program for what I do. I previously submitted a 1 Star review because of the new update causing the app to crash. However, within a week they addressed the issue and fixed the problem. Caato, YOU ROCK!!!!

The best time tracking program

I have used a few time-tracking programs over the years, and this is hands-down the best. What makes it even better is that its developers revise it often. It's unobtrusive, accurate, and very easy to use. Highly recommended!

Best Time Tracker

I've used this to track time for my projects with my clients and it's worked flawlessly without any issues. It's never crashed EVER. I also was able to back up my data and transfer it to my new Mac effortlessly. Everything about this app just WORKS.

Great Little Program

Been using it for years to track my time on any project where time is an issue.

Easy to use

I started doing freelance/contracting work after a couple decades of working for companies, and needed a way to track time by project so I would know what to bill where. This app is incredibly easy to use, allows edits to starts and stops when you forget to note it, and being able to track the total time by project or date range is invaluable.

Excellent App, and it's Free!

This app has helped me track time for all my various projects that I keep time on for several years now. I haven't had a single issue with the app, no ads and it's never asked me to pay for anything. Such a great app and would happily donate to the cause by leaving a very positive review!

Simple Straightforward = Perfect

I spent forever looking for a time tracking app to use with my marketing clients and projects. No fancy bells and whisltes, required internet access, or upcharges to do what I need, just a lightweight app to track my time and let me handle the rest.

Great time Tracker, one small problem

As an attorney, this is the perfect time tracker app I have. I can start and stop projects without losing time. The only problem I have is that I wish it would have an option to display time by decimals. My practice management software that I use needs me to enter my time format as x.xx hours not x hours xx min and it does not convert. Please update the app to make this an option.

Good App, works well for me

This is a good app and is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use and does what I need. The only thing I wish it had was the ability to tag a note to a time entry so that I could apply some details about that particular time entry.

Funcional & Easy to Use

I have used this for over a year now, and continue to find funcionality that is so useful! I first started this for a single project, and now use it for my every-day freelance work. I love how you can view by day, week, month, etc. You can export by these time frames as well. I haven't found the perfect way to export. I have to rework the data a bit, but it's not worth a lesser rating. Fabulous, simple and affordable!

Good balance of simple and effective

I like this app and mainly use it for one project. Simple features that are easy to understand, and enough to make efficient use of time-tracking. The serious feature also is that one can export the time records as .csv. Only small point of criticism for me is the lack of a comment field for a time entry; that would really be useful. "Upgrade" reminders are a bit naggy, but not a real complaint in a free product. I will likely upgrade to Pro soon as the app has been running without bugs for many weeks now.

Get It!

Caato Time Tracker is ridiculously easy to use! And for a disorganized freelancer like myself, it's a real lifesaver! The free version was so helpful, I paid for Pro. Now I have even more versatility. Stop reading reviews and get it already!

It Just Works!

I've been using the Time Tracker for my work for a couple of years. I've found it to be an invaluable and easy way to keep track of my progress. I highly recommend its no-frills, easy-to-understand interface. Lots of developers make their apps "better" by adding more. This one got it right out of the box and I like that they didn't futz with it.

Simple and clean

This time tracker is simple and easy to use. It's about as straightforward as you can get, meaning it tracks your time without all kinds of "extras" that make a lot of trackers too cumbersome.

Unreliable

This is a very simple app and I don't mind that as long as it does what I want. A week into using this it wiped out all my tracking info and set everything to 0s. Would not recommend an app that can't get such a simple thing correct.

Perfect but....

This would be a 5 start review except that I have requested help on a simple matter and can't get anyone to respond. I purchased the Pro version and it has simplified a complicated piece of my work life. Great app. BUT, when I open the app in my phone it tells me to go to my Mac to set up an account. I hve been returning to this problem for days and I cannot find figure it out. No indication on the Mac App of account settings, etc. Flummoxed.

Good for tracking when switching between tasks

This is great little app for allowing me to track my daily tasks and makes it easy to start/stop/switch timers as I switch bettween tasks. The only annoyance is the pop-up that asks me to upgrade. I get it, the author wants to make money, but maybe pop up the reminder once a day or once a week, not multiple times during the day.

Perfect for freelancers who need to track hours

I have been using Caato Time Tracker for YEARS and it is the perfect app to track time if you are a freelancer and need to track time for multiple clients and multiple projects under each respective client. It is very simple to use but still has great features that allow you to add/remove/edit time as needed. PERFECT time tracking app. Download it; you wont be sorry.

UPDATE: STILL THE BEST! User Since 2013! Love it!

While I did receive this Original Caato Time Tracking app for free while working for Apple, I have continually searched for a better time tracking app and not found anything better or more simple. I tried to use an online app, Time Tracking, but they "upgraded it" and made it really confusing. Caato Time Tracking app is very easy to use and set up for your projects. The ability to see each task area per project is really great. Editing is simple, tracking is simple, exporting a spreadsheet is simple. There are some things that I would want if I had to pay for this app, though and not sure I’d pay $25. Menu Bar access would be great. Ability to add iCal reminders would be nice, but might mess up the simplicity. A floating window and/or modern look and transparency would be neat. Otherwise, I love the app.

WFH essential!

Even the free version is meeting my needs. There are some upgrade "nags" but other than that, it does all the basic things I need it to do.

love this app! but...

Afer using it for a number of weeks, reducing to 4 stars. Not long into the day, I get a pop-up window asking if I want to upgrade EVERY TIME I click to switch between tasks. EVERY TIME! Really? I'd upgrade, but not at $15. I've tried different time trackers, but love this one. So clean and easy to use. At work I'm constantly switching between a half-dozen time-tracked tasks. This app makes it so easy for me to start/stop the clock between them. My only request would be to have it reside in the menu bar... or perhaps a mini-version that shows only the currently tracking task that I could make the top-window at all times?

Billable Time Tracker

I was looking for a free/low cost APP to track my billable time for work. This APP is perfect! It well exceeds my expectations for a free APP. It not only tracks my time, but I am able to enter each individual client and/or project and it keeps the total time along with each span of time I work on the project/client. It calculates total time overall as well so I know how much time I have billed each day, week, month, etc. It is also very unobtrusive - It keeps a small window open in the corner of my screen and I just click once to start counting. Definitely a great find and I will let my colleagues know about it as well!

Very good time tracker

I have went ahead and purchased the full version and I can't be happier. I have several clients with a myriad of jobs each. This tracker allows me to keep very detailed records of the time spent on each project. Its worth the low price!

Janky, clunky UI, and undependable

Already the design of this app feels like something from 2007. The UI is horribly dated, with lots of iOS 3.0 design cues (linen background, etc.) The worst offender is I restarted my laptop, and ALL MY TIME ENTRIES were blank. All my billable time tracking, LOST. This app is garbage. Don't use it, and CERTAINLY don't pay for it.

Great time tracker

Easy to use - records well.

Simple and useful

Keeps my time well tracked and my invoices easy to make, simple and unobtrusive app, well built, no trouble. Recommended!

Cleared the clutter

As a freelancer, I've tracked my hours FOR DECADES using a simple time sheet for each client, writing down start and finish times, tallying them at the end of each project for invoicing. I cannot believe how easy it is to use Caato. How much time did I waste over the years, adding up quarter-hour increments? What I especially like is that when I sit down at my desk to work and realize and hour later I forgot to hit start, I can edit the entry to begin at the right time. Also, I can see how much time I've worked on each project today, this week, this month -- or ever.

easy to use and very functional

I use this to track time for multiple clients. It's simple, intuitive and robust. It's all I need.

Focused basic feature set

I use it for recording client project work. I don't export to put into billing, etc. I just need to be able to generate an invoice at the end of a week/moth with total hours billed in three categories for that client. Has a very useful selector to filter to today, this week, last week, etc. Many options. Easy to start and stop timers, easy to retroactively add time that wasn't timed "live" (forgot to start timer, say). Only two things that could be improved for my use: menu bar item vs being in dock, and "add time" would be nice if I could specify as "start time duration" rather than having to edit End Time to get exact duration I'm trying to enter.

Was Skeptical but Im Very Happy

Ive been using this for about a month now. I like things SIMPLE, so I was a little skeptical that this was goign to be way too complicated. Theres a "time" feature that I thought was going to be a pain, but that has actually helped me. I freelance and everyonce in a while i will forget to stop the tiime clock. well whats cool is the timer is in those instances, i see exactly what time i re-started a project and can make the timing adjustments to ONLY the time i picked back up with the project. that may sound confusing, but trust me, its handy! So far I am really digging this program!

Excellent

Highly recommend for basic time tracking!

Easy to Use - Saves my Butt and my Hours Every Time

With other apps I often delayed and often forgot to post and lost income. Caato is easy and intuitive. Makes it easy to do what I should quickly.
