We know we say it often, but here at Tahometer, it is our prized users who guide every step of the time tracker’s development. Think of us like a glorious magic lamp of time management possibilities — Ask and you shall receive!

Without Further Ado

First off, some of you were growing intimidated by the agent being ever-present , so we’ve added a convenient X button to hide the main window. Whenever you wish to summon it back, it’s as easy as clicking the icon in the system tray.

A (Much) Closer Look at Time Tracking

One of the coolest things about Tahometer is its ability to provide detailed statistical information about the online and offline times users spend working. In order to make the most of this feature, we want you to understand exactly how worked hours are counted, and what factors influence your daily statistics.

By now, most of you will certainly be aware that Tahometer 3.0 is jam-packed with incredible new features.

The Curious Case of the Axed Comments

Because we strive to deliver the best time tracking application on the market, Tahometer is in a constant state of growth and evolution. Just as with nature, however, sometimes progress requires shedding old features that no longer serve a purpose. So now, 2 weeks after you have all been blessed with Tahometer 3.0, we thought it was a good time to explain why you can no longer leave comments via the desktop application.

Screenshots: Too Big Brothery or Tool for Productivity?

 

Do you ever wonder why your company never seems to live up to its full potential? At Tahometer, we believe that behind every successful business is a happy and productive team. In order to keep your own troops running as effectively as possible, a few things are vital to manage, as these are the true devourers of productivity:

  1. Overtime
  2. Work time costs
  3. Weekend work

But keeping tabs on that pesky trio is often easier said than done, especially when it comes to remote teams. This is why Tahometer includes a helpful and convenient screenshotting feature.

How Time Tracking Can Save Your Company Big Bucks

Here at Tahometer, we often wonder why humans like to think they’re so good at tracking time. Really, though! Last time we checked:

  1. A 30-minute episode of Friends goes by a heck of a lot faster than half an hour of crunches
  2. Mondays are always longer than Fridays
  3. One Mississippi, Two Mississippi is a very poorly designed system!

 

Mercifully, however, mankind has also been gifted with some very clever people who have helped us make sense of the abstract tick-tocking governing our world — Is time even real?
