We use that for basic time keepingnin house, good pricing and easy to use. Keep and eye out for zei as well, recent kickstarter that has a really good physical elemwnt to it. A little pricey though.

I am a relatively new user of Toggle, but it has been a neat little tool to track all sorts of activities. I use it to track time on a couple of different projects and I did not need any of the fancy payed features, so free version serves me well. Highly recommended!

RescueTime

Analytics on your daily habits and productivity

Mike CoutermarshCode @ Product Hunt · Written
RescueTime is my favorite. Works great for giving you insight into where your time has gone. How much is really spent on Facebook vs doing work. I like "distraction free" mode and the chrome extension makes it easy to see how "good" you have been. I find its a good reminder to keep focused.

If you're interested in Quantified Self, RescueTime integrates with Gyroscope to give you a view into your productive/unproductive time. Only downside is that iOS is not supported.

Hubstaff

Time tracking software with screenshots, activity levels...

Michal HantlRuby on Rails developer · Edited
Great suggestions here, go with Hubstaff if you need these: - Activity reports - Integrations with project management and other 3rd party tools (like Github, Trello, Paypal, Zendesk and more) - Automatic payroll via payment Paypal, Payoneer etc. - if you have people working off site (and need GPS tracking)
Comments
I'll definitely vouch for it. The app is truly cross-platform - they've got apps for mac, windows, linux, android, ios & even a chrome extension. With their recent updates, I can also see how much money was spent on each task (calculated based on no. of hours spent x hourly rate) which is pretty cool.

We're using Hubstaff at EpicCoders since 2011. Its reporting tools, automatic payrolls and the native apps for all the platforms are what makes it stand out from the rest of time tracking apps we tried.

TimeLog is a super great tool. It is the only tool I have been able to find that ties together time tracking, invoicing, analytics, salary, project management. Invaluable if you are in the engineering or consulting business.

With TimeLog, I can have my project, resource and invoicing overview in the same system. Good luck on finding another software that do that.

Qbserve

Automatic private time tracking for OS X

Jamie LawrenceConsultant CTO, Rails developer · Written
Although I also use RescueTime I've become quite partial to Qbserve. It's a local app and has a similar functionality to RescueTime but without some of the advanced reporting. It does however, give me some immediate reminder of when I'm being unproductive by changing the dock icon.

Tyme 2

Time tracking made easy.

Tyme is amazing because it's very simple and focuses on time tracking versus all the billing, projects, etc. It has just the needed basics for tracking time by different projects and no more. The UI is so much better than most other time tracking apps. I'm a happy paying customer!

A Pomodoro-driven timer for Chrome

If you want simple and cheap solution, that is definitely fine. I was using rescue time but it's very expensive, even most expensive one in the time tracking tools chart :)
