Time Equals Money and iBiz are good.

iBiz seems to be a lot nicer.

Just came across this very interesting little tool. (Written in an evening)
http://www.anappaday.com/downloads/2006/09/day-2-time-management.html

Basically, appends to an excel spreadhseet - Date/Time/Software/Software Description/Duration

So if you have spreadsheet for Customer A open and being worked on for 3 hours - it would record that. all you need to do is put it into a pivot table to get some info out.

I found a grat bit of software called studiometry, it is only a trial unfortunately, but it is a great program for tracking progress on a job as well as billing and making notes.

i have been using it for a little while and have found it to be great

Hi David,

Another option is Fanurio http://www.fanuriotimetracking.com which is a desktop application designed for freelancers. It can do basic project management, time tracking and invoicing.

Daylite is a great CRM and project management tool, though overkill for a lot of people.

They have a billing application that works well with it though it can also work on its own:

I have always used Quickbooks. I know a lot of people hate it. But nothing works better for total business financial management. It tracks time, generates invoices, does billing and payroll. Quickbooks is way overkill for most people, but if you have even a semi-complex business, give it a look.

I do some freelancing, also, and I do all my billing and time tracking with a very cool, very elegant online solution… FreshBooks. They integrate with PayPal, BaseCamp, and other cool features. I love it. Very simple. Has access for your customers to logon and see balance, invoices, open tickets, etc. You can create estimates, projects, tasks, time tickets, etc. Check ‘em out at FreshBooks.

I am only a customer, not an affiliate, no stock in the company or anything.
