TaskCapture 2.3 is regarded as an easy to use, high performance software that intelligently and automatically tracks working time on any document in standard applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, QuarkXPress 6, AutoCAD and many more.

It runs in the background on your computer, gathering important job-related information to your personal database (included) whenever a document is closed. When in operation, it mostly goes unnoticed and is far easier than filling in forms or entering time in an "old-fashioned" billing system. If you are using a timer or manually entering times, it's up to 40% innaccurate because of the omissions and "guesstimates" that are a natural result of today's hurried, multi-tasking workflows, combined with the human tendency to procrastinate. After all, who has time for timekeeping?

Tempus 0.7 is developed to be a perfect solution for you if you got fed up with Titanium not running cron jobs because it's asleep at night when they're scheduled to run. What you do is configure cron to run tempus every five or ten minutes, and tempus handles running /etc/daily, /etc/weekly, and /etc/monthly for you.

Tempus keeps a data file and stores when it last ran each program in /etc/tempustab. When cron starts it, it checks the file, sees if it's been longer than the interval between runs, and if it has, runs the appropriate task.
