Klok – This stuff shouldn’t be free
I recently started testing the new version of Klok. Klok is an Air app used to track your time. Version 1.5 has been out for quite a while and I didn’t work without it running. I tend to jump around my projects quite a bit and I usually have to keep track of how much time I spend on which tasks, etc. Klok has always been a great tool to let me do that. And it’s a free application! Version 1.5 is available now and 2.0 is under active development and has made some FANTASTIC improvements. This thing is, it SHOULDN’T be a free application. I really think it’s that good. I won’t go over all of the features that make it awesome cause this is a short post and I’ve got lots of actual work to do (yes, I’m logging the time I’m spending to write this blog post). There’s lots of great time keeping apps out there and I’ve used lots of them. This is the one I like the best.
Right now you can’t download the 2.0 beta unless you donate to the project. So ACT NOW while the application isn’t free. It’s totally worth it.
Now back to the work I get paid to do . . .
I agree that with it’s quality, you’d almost expect it to cost you some cash. I was recently reading about their newest 2.0 version in the works, and there will be a paid for version of that, as well as a free. I wrote a review on Klok from a self employed game developers perspective, give it a read if you get the time. Glad to see you gave Klok some of the respect it deserves, it’s way too under the radar in my opinion.
