Catch time spent on customer work while on the go
When you're jumping from one task to the next, it's hard to track all the work you're doing for your customers. Entering time into a timesheet at the end of the day or week can become a pain, especially when you know you're forgetting something.
TimeCatcher helps you track time quickly and accurately. With just a few clicks, you can add time to your timesheet. TimeCatcher will automatically track time you spend with customers on the phone. With accurate time capture, you'll save yourself from the headache of having to do your timesheet later.
TimeCatcher Features
- Enter time after completing work
- Start a timer when you begin working
- Automatically track time on customer calls
- Convert meetings and appointments to time entries
- Export your timesheet as a csv attachment
Note: TimeCatcher does not currently integrate seamlessly with QuickBooks or QB Time Tracker.

I am using this app on my new Droid and would love for this to integrate with QB’s. I am a proadvisor and this app is very handy, except that I use my phone to create my billings and there is no way of easily know if the time was billed already or not.
Currently I am selecting each time slot and unclicking billable but to see that I have to go into each saved time. Also, the date does not export to the csv which means I have to go back to my phone to find the info.
Still love the app but please update it with these little features. Thanks!

I can’t download Time Catcher… When it states select subscription the field is blank. I have emailed the help person on multiple occassions and no one seems to want to help… Very disapointing.

Hi Jason,
I got your email, and we’re working to fix it. We didn’t realize that we had set the subscription page to expire on Dec 31 (yikes!), so we’re updating that. We’re also updating the application a bit, so before we have the new subscription page up, we’re making sure the new app works across BlackBerry devices. Stay tuned, we’ll announce to the forum when it’s ready.

I would love to try this program out but getting it registered is impossible. I have been trying for months and no solution.
The sad thing is the the registration has nothing to do with the operation of the application. It is like getting a car to test drive and the dealer can not find the keys. Keeps telling you to wait, that they are here some place…
tick…tick…tick

John, sorry we’ve been slow to get you going with your registration issue. I’ve red flagged your issue with my dev team.

I have been using the app for a few days and it is really intuitive and is helping me capture a lot of lost time. A few things I would like to see in future builds are:
The ability to delete or archive a time sheet you have already emailed.
The ability to store the email address you want the time sheet emailed to when you export.
An import feature for customers from QB, CSV or other.
Great app! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback! I’d love to hear more about how you use timecatcher. When you have a minute, ping me at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

So, I can not connect to activate the program. After all these months, telephone conversations and emails you have not resolved the issue. Or is it on the bottom of the pile?
Dissappointing!
Tommy | 12/11/09 at 2:18 pm
Hi John, sorry to hear about the ongoing issue. I’ll get your email from the site admin and have you work with our technical lead to resolve the problem.

I have the original version. I consulted with you and your cronies a few months back(im the PI shhhhh). I loaded the timecatcher and it crashed my storm. Im still looking obviously. Timetracker is just too slow and tedious.

Tom you have not been forgotten. Today at lunch I brought up a point you made last time we chatted about seeing the time you’ve tracked on a current project against a retainer you set with the client. We are making progress with our time tracking thinking, but I’m sorry to say I can’t promise anything on Storm at the moment.
Tom | 11/19/09 at 7:30 pm
Thanks, thats good to hear. Most people do what they can to forget me LOL. Do you expect to have a Storm Version in the next year? If so, will it have direct integration with QB?

I can’t download the app. The site keeps telling me I do not have permission. When I click the info box, an email is sent saying my billing manager needs to Ok this. I am the owner and sole employee of my company.
Jason | 10/07/09 at 2:19 pm
Hi Herb,
A few of us have been working on iPhone and Android versions, and both are pretty close to release.
We submitted the Android version to the ADC2 last month. If you’d like to try it out, send me an email at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
Thanks!

Hi Tom,
We currently don’t have a Storm version because its touchscreen interactions are slightly different than the pearl’s. We’re continually looking to improve TimeCatcher, and I can already imagine ways for a touchscreen to make time capture quicker and simpler.
Which model of the Storm do you have?

I have the new Verizon Droid phone and am using this app, which is fantastic for my business. I’ve been reading the other posts, am I reading them correctly that there is currently no import feature into QB from the downloaded .csv file?
Jason

Thanks Andrea, I’m glad you’re finding the app useful! To address your question, you are correct, there is currently no such import feature in QuickBooks. For now users need to manually import the time by opening up the CSV in a program like Microsoft Office Excel and copying the information over. However, we are currently working on ways to automatically export time caught using the app into time & billing solutions (QuickBooks included).
