OfficeTime overview
OfficeTime is time and expense tracking that is easy, elegant and focused. Other time keepers are clumsy or oversimplified. OfficeTime balances features and ease of use, allowing you to easily track exactly what you do each day.
Features

- Teams: Who's slacking? Which group project is close to budget? Cross-team reports have the answer.

Version: 2.0.659
I've been using this since 2015 and at some point also subscribed to the freelance version. The Calendar sync feature gives a great visual about how I spent my time, and it never, ever failed.
Some stats/ report pages don't show the hours spent on a project but only percent, hours would be nice to always have. Sync between mac and iphone sometimes takes a while but it is always resolvable.
I'm glad this exists, I'd go nuts about tracking this without the ability to modify. I also have Qbserve running all the time so if I forget to start a new time window I can always enter it manually based on Qbserve automatic tracking.
The developer is extremely responsive. thanks!

The developer was very responsive and attentive to my problem, which was generously fixed within a day. One of my best experiences!

I have the desktop software "OfficeTime" which syncs up well with this app. I am a musician and work a lot from home and need to track time and project sessions accurately and keep great records for my clients. This is a very customizable app and software that works well for my needs. I like that you can download the program to your computer and not rely on the cloud services most other companies use. I would highly recommend this for any small business that needs to track time and projects.

OfficeTime has been my faithful daily companion since 2007. In the meantime a lot of improvements have been realized by the engaged developers. Nevertheless the app remained user-friendly, clear and useful for the daily business with different customers. It is not only a helpful time tracker but also a precious instrument to overview work done and to prepare billings. The apps on the Mac and iPhone work together smoothly and the delicate data are well protected by the automatic back-ups and WLAN-synchronizations. I am looking forward to version 2 offering the option of a cloud-synchronization with an outstanding and leading end-to-end-encryption. Well done and keep it up!

Love, love, love this little program. I spent hours and hours searching the Internet for a useable program to keep track of my time. Nothing I tried compared to the simplicity of use, and pertinent information provided that OfficeTime did. There's no time or fiddling involved. You just click and go. It lets you know when your computer has been inactive for a while and asks if you want to add the "inactive" time to your total. Everything you need is right there. You can track your costs just as easily. OfficeTime has everything you need and isn't cluttered by things you don't. Great little program.

Simple time management software. Meanwhile to simple, as my projects are not getting fewer. The project menu would need the possibility to group projects in Folders, instead of just archiving them and dividing them with separator lines.
Seems to be abandon ware, last update was more than one year ago.

I've been using this for a short while, and while not intuitive at first, does seem to do the job.
The invoicing facility desperately needs redesigned; who wants to create an invoice in RTF format? Apart from being limited in the design, it needs to be converted to PDF to be of any use when sending to a client.
Projects are displayed in separate windows. It would be nice to be able to show all projects in a list to give an overview of what's on the go.
There's no manual, no forum or online knowledgebase, and if you want to know anything, you have to email them. Sometimes you just want a quick answer or someone else's experience.
I want to like this, but overall, it needs modernisation; a slicker interface and more industry standard file formats.

Looks good but fact that cloud based sync is "coming soon" (in 2012), being "worked on really hard" (2014/2015) but not yet delivered in 2017, is a worrying insight into the development stream. I'll pass thanks.

OfficeTime is almost useless to non-wifi and non-mobile users (count me a happy ex-mobile telephone owner) as it does not sync via a server somewhere but via your telephone.
Sync is a real mess: http://www.officetime.net/blog/officetime-sync-faq/
I guess I'll have to keep going with RescueTime which has issues of its own (more like a background auditor than something to help you log work hours). RescueTime owners have basically given up on creating a time tracker.

OMG, This is fabulous!! Integrates well with iPhone App too. I always put apps through quite a trial, and this one won. Use constantly for tracking time spend on psych scoring and report writing per patient. Each patient is a project. Makes it so easy to bill and keep track of. Not cluttered like many. Like the simple look. Yay!

There are very few apps I’ve purchased for my Mac that I not only use every day, but depend upon. OfficeTime for Mac is one of those apps. It allows me to keep an accurate accounting of the time I spend with each client and their individual projects. It syncs flawlessly with my iOS devices as well. It has great reporting features, and it also syncs with my Google calendar. Best of all, it comes with fantastic support. Support emails are answered quickly and thoroughly. I’m a definitely a happy customer!

Sorry about the doubte-post; comment is below (Why won't this site let me properly edit and manage, including remove, my reviews/comments? Argh!)

I played around with the OS X version, and purchased the iOS version; then I discovered that there is no "automatic cloud sync." Sync is dependent on a wireless network. This developer has promised Dropbox sync since 2012 (per the developer's blog); we're almost done with the first quarter of 2015 and still no real Dropbox sync between mobile and desktop. Sorry, but I will ask Apple for a refund of the iOS app. I'm sticking with Tyme, which may not work within a group setting, but it provides reliable iCloud sync (OS X and iOS) and works great for freelancers/individuals who need to track time spent on their projects, tasks. (It also looks more like an OS X/iOS app; maybe it's just me, but OfficeTime does have a bit of a Windows feel to it in terms of how it looks and works.)

Just saw the sale on MacUpdate and wanted to chime in. I have this app, it is one of the most essential and rock solid apps on my Mac. I use it weekly for invoicing using iCal integration through Google calendars, which I update on Androids, iPod, iPad, Mac, PC, and Web browser. The freedom has unshackled me from desktop timers. The developer is very responsive . I do have a wish list, but this app delivers on what it promises. The iCal / Google Cal integration makes it indispensable to my professional practice. I highly recommend you purchase this app, you won't regret it.

I use OfficeTime every day. After searching for, and trying, most every work timer solutions out there, this one won for features like allowing me to subtract time away from the computer, output to spreadsheet software, breakdown by day, week, month, custom time frame, Mac + iPhone + iPad versions, etc. The only thing lacking? Cloud synch across all devices. Until that day, it's not getting my five star rating. The year is 2014, after all.

Wow. That's a *huge* list of tweaks and improvements! Thanks to the Developer.

Fantastic replacement for the now discontinued iBiz and Billings. For those wondering, yes, this has iCal synchronization so you can track your jobs in iCal with any iOS or web-enabled device. Only the appearance needs a minor update (maybe use greys with some burnt-orange color splash and non-glossy icons), otherwise it is clean and functional.

OfficeTime is a solid, versatile and easy to use time tracker for both personal and business use. It is unobtrusive, well–thought–out and reliable and provides accurate and informative views and reports. In addition to tracking billable hours and invoicing clients, OfficeTime is a valuable productivity tool that will help you reflect upon whether your current work practices are aligned with your priorities.

This is a great app! I tried ten other apps for timetracking on mac and iPhone, but this is the best. Although there are some features I'm missing, i.e. a german interface. My request for other features was replied immediately by the developers - very professional, very kind.
