Automatic Time Tracking

We have just finished developing a new feature which makes it possible to fill in your tasks automatically.
This feature will be available in Premember version 1.2.0 and later.

How does it work?

With this new feature you can add tasks with the click of a button.

To add tasks to a complete week, right-click on the week calendar in the Main Window and click on “Auto Add Tasks” in the popup menu .

When you do this the tasks will be automatically added and you will see a message reporting how many tasks have been added.

To add tasks to a particular day right-click on the Day calendar in the Remind Me Window and click on  “Auto Add Task” in the Popup menu.

Configuration

To make this automation possible you have to assign a Task Category to a filter.

The filters can be configured in the General Configuration.

You can reach the general configuration by going to Configuration -> General.
In the Configuration window you have to select the “Remind Me” tab.
When you click on Edit or Add you will you now see the following  Screenshot filter window:

Here the following items have been added:

1. A check box with the text “Enable automatic time tracking”

Here you can select if you want to use the automation option for this filter.

2. A list box with the Projects

Here you can select the project name of the project that shall be assigned to the task.

3. A list box with the Task Categories

Here you can select the task category that shall be assigned to the task.

When you check the Automation check box and choose a Project and Task category, the filter is configured for automation and tasks can now be  automatically inserted.

Why we created time tracking software with the ability to look back into time

What do you want your time tracking software to do? I’ll go out on a limb and say: Track the time you spend on projects.

Although this sounds simple enough, in practice it’s never quite as easy as portrayed and I had quite a struggle finding an easy-to-use (non time consuming) time tracking software.

I work with a company called Hesiod Software. And just like our name suggests, we create software.

We are a young company and in our search for a time tracking program we couldn’t find one that fit our needs.

First we tried to track time throughout the work day but that didn’t work.

We found out that the last thing we wanted is keeping track of our time during work, since it was breaking our thought flow which in turn didn’t help our productivity.

The work of keeping track of your time is probably in the same range as answering phones during work. 😉

The next thing we tried was filling in our hours at the end of the day; relieved from the interruption during work we were optimistic. It turned out to be a pain to stay after the end of our work-day trying to give a detailed overview of the hours spent on the different projects.

So it usually got shifted to the last day of the week or the first day of the following week, and although this seemed like a good idea at the time, we found out on Friday afternoon that our memory was not as good as we believed it was. The headache came.

We were forced to spend time pondering on what we did and when we did it. As a result we again ended up wasting our time.

We decided we needed a program that keeps track of our time spent on projects without us having to remember it ourselves.

And that’s how the idea of Premember was born.

A piece of software that gives you the opportunity to look back into time so you can fill in your hours in a simple way at the end of the week.

You can try the Trial version for 31 days, after which you can decide to keep using the free Light Version or switch to the Standard Version .

Premember version 1.1.1 release

We have just released a new minor upgrade of our software.

This new version can be downloaded in our Light or Trial section.

If you already have Premember installed there is no need to download the new version

You can upgrade to this version by going to “Help” > “Check for updates”.

What’s new?

• Calendar improvements

You can now scroll with the middle mouse wheel, we have made some improvements to the performance and made it easier to resize tasks.

• Pre-configured internet screenshot filters

To make it easier for first time users to see how Premember works we have added all the major internet browsers to the screenshot filter list.

So that when you install Premember you can see when you were active on the internet.

Upon first installation there will be now four (Windows Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera) out of the five mayor internet explorers available. The reason that the fifth (Safari) was not added to the list is because the title of this window contains only the name of the current page and so it’s not possible to create a filter for it.

New Features

• Two new views:
  • Week View Window
    
  • Month View Window
• Easy screenshot filter configuration

It is now simpler to configure the screenshot filters by simply clicking the window you want to filter.

Besides these features we have also fixed multiple small bugs and made multiple minor improvements.

New Month and Week views

For the past couple of weeks we have been working on some new views for Premember.

These changes allow you to see more easily what task categories and projects you have worked on and how many hours you spend on each.

Since we will release the next upgrade in 2 week and the views are graphically finished we decided to post them here.

All the views stay on top so you can use the views when you work with other parts of premember.

It’s really funny to add a task and then see in real time the change of a view.

We have made the following views (Click on the views to see an enlarged version):

Month view

A view where you can select the month and see  how much time you spent on specific projects and task categories during that month.

The task categories are represented in a pie chart on each day.

The size of the pie chart also says something about how much time you spend working during the specific day. If you worked the whole day the pie chart will fill almost the whole day but if you have only filled a task category of 30 minutes you will see a smaller pie chart.

Week view 1

A view where you can select a specific week and see  how much time you spent on specific projects and task categories during that week.

Week view 2

A view where you can select a specific week and see when you worked on different task categories. This is basically a small version of the week calendar.
