Seems useful for freelancers. Needs some sort of centralization in order to be used in companies. Full disclosure: I created <a href="http://1timetracking.com" rel="nofollow">1time</a> a time tracking application for small and medium size companies. ;) Nice concept. Seems useful for freelancers.

I’m typically not easily dazzled by eye candy but in this instance the Adobe Air platform is a perfect match for Klok. Each project item is color coded and it’s a snap to drag and drop items to the timesheet or to the built in timer to create your entries. Everything is easily moved and resized and you can drag anything to the trash or to the archives to keep things tidy.

Drag-drop project creation is slick (though the expectation in most interfaces like Google Calender is to click in a column to create a new entry). The charts and excel export are clutch, too. Downside: it's on a desktop and not the web (a challenge with multiple computers), and it's geared towards solo freelancers so you can't work with a team. (full disclosure: I'm on the <a href="http://keeptempo.com" rel="nofollow">Tempo team</a>, another product in the time tracking space) The interface is really nice.

Many usuability studies have shown that direct manipulation through drag and drop is a superior way to handle interaction in many situations. The iterface is something that I won't have to "bear with" but rather, it is something that is enjoyable to use. Chris – I think you are a little over-critical.

This is probably what makes this tool somewhat more "exciting" than others. I wonder why the mouse does not move in a mirror-inverted way or something. But to be fair, the application is pretty nice and useful if you can bear with the interface.

To make a long story short it needs sound. I notice that at the end of any alotted time if you are away from the monitor there is no way to tell if your time is up.
