Introduction

Timmon is a time tracking tool helping to keep track of time spent on different projects.

Timmon lets you organize your tasks hierarchically, supports day, week, month and year views.

Timmon supports JasperReports to create monthly reports (pdf,html,xls,csv,...).

All data is stored in XML files or in an SQL Database.

Timmon helps to

  • easily track the amount of time spent on different tasks or subtasks.
  • organize your tasks hierarchically in tasks and subtasks.
  • find out how much time you spend on a specific task including all subtasks.
  • find out how much time you spend on a specific day, week, month or year (for a specific task - possibly including all subtasks).
  • find out when (date and time) you were working on a specific task - as far as we know, no other time tracking utility allows to get this information.
  • find out the overtime (or remaining time to work) per day week month or year.
  • create monthly reports of how much time you spent on your projects in PDF, RTF, HTML, XML, XLS or CSV.

Unix: Windows:
tar -xzf timmon_bin-x.y.z unpack with e.g. UltimateZip
