Klok

What do you like best?

Adobe AIR makes it possible to run on all major desktop Operating Systems

Great for the Freelancer

Attractive Interface

Usable Interface

Has Free version available

NO NEED TO INSTALL DATABASES!!! This is a big one for me. All the Linux Time management applications require a backend database to be installed. Klok just works out of the box

Time tracker included.

NO ONLINE ACCESS NEEDED. Maybe for the premium features such as cloud storage, but if you don't want to need the internet for everything this is great.

What do you dislike?

- Since it's not Open-Source, I can't bundle the free version with my Operating System and promote it

- Adobe dropped Linux support for Adobe AIR, so there are no 64bit version available. Klok should still work, however.

-Since Adobe dropped support, your 64-bit Linux OS needs to install 32 bit libraries, otherwise it won't run.

-Takes a little time to get the hang of.

-Hasn't been updated in a while, mostly because Adobe Air never reached its true potential and market share that I think it should have, so there has been little demand.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

- Have Adobe Air installed

- This is both a time tracker and a project manager. The interface is attractive. It solves both problems in one.

- Best for an individual user, like a freelancer, rather than teams. My opinion only, of course.

- If you have teams check out the premium version with cloud storage (assuming they still support it).

- Will run on Linux, Windows, Mac OS, any desktop system that Adobe Air supports. Obviously not mobile.
