Press Release Summary: Online invoicing, expense, and time tracking service connects the Web and the desktop for professionals who need to easily track activities on the go
Press Release Body: Toronto, Ontario, March 19, 2008 - FreshBooks (www.freshbooks.com) has released a new Time Tracker Widget for Apple's Mac OS X Dashboard.
The Time Tracker Widget is a new take on keeping track of activities. It lets users log hours directly to their FreshBooks accounts with a slick, easy-to-use interface, which increases utility and efficiency for those tracking project hours from their Macs. Once downloaded, the widget sits quietly on the Dashboard until called up to provide access to time recording, whether the user is online or offline.
The widget provides quick and easy access to starting and stopping the timer, updating notes, and submitting time for one or multiple projects and tasks. It also continues to track time when not connected to the Internet, and is not affected by computer crashes, providing a more consistent interface for those who log time while on the road.
The ability to record data whether online or offline enables FreshBooks users to reduce redundancies in the places they record information. Instead of recording billing information in one location while offline, any data recorded in the Time Tracker Widget when users are offline will automatically be updated to their FreshBooks account the next time a connection becomes available.
"The Apple community was driven by creative professionals, many who run their own businesses and work on project basis. Using FreshBooks is an extension of the Mac experience, simple, fun, elegant, and a reflection of its user. Our goal is simply to help people focus on what it is that they do best by providing them with everything they need to track and invoice for their business," said Michael McDerment, CEO of FreshBooks.
