Klok is an amazing program, I've used it for a long time now. The UI is incredibly friendly, and it only took me a few minutes to figure everything out. I wrote a review on Klok from a self employed game developers perspective, give it a read if you get the time. Glad to see the developers getting the attention they deserve, they've worked hard on giving us a great, free program.

People who use basecamp for timetracking, check out http://www.timy.be
This is a timetracking tool build on top of BC, and it’s working absolutely great!

Good to know you haven’t had problems with it, Angie. Maybe I can figure out how to fix it — it’s a neat, simple little app that does one thing extremely well (at least, it DID one thing extremely well)

That’s strange, I haven’t had any issues with changing the settings with the newest version of AIR. If you can’t reach them via email, I know that they’re on twitter (@focusboosterapp) and have been very responsive to me in the past when I’ve had questions.

Focusbooster used to be great until I updated Adobe AIR. Now, when I change the settings in Focusbooster it (FB) crashes. The live version works fine, but the Internet’s a potential distraction and, depending where I’m working, isn’t always available.

I tried contacting focusbooster at their contact email address but just got an “email rejected” response.

Not impressed.

Whether it’s thievery or not, I can report that I tried installing Doit.im on Linux this morning and it seems to work fine.

Yes, Curt, similar UI’s. Not being that familiar with Things other than a few brief encounters, or even having hung out on their site, we did not know that this issue existed, hence Angie thanking Sylvain for the heads up.

We thank you for your understanding and your concern over the use of our talents, but it is not necessary. We are preparing to amend the post to include links to other places that this discussion is taking place, and should it be found and declared publicly (by reputable sources that are stood behind as being proven and true) then we will naturally be removing the app from the list.

However, in the interest of the idea that similar ideas and designs are not always indicative of heinous acts of thievery, we are going leave the app up for everyone to make up their own minds on the issue that has arisen. Thanks again for helping to shed light on this situation, and we hope that it is resolved soon.

Similar UI’s? The entire design concept, the complete duplication of the user interface, even the design of the WEBSITE itself is a ripoff of Things.

I understand that you’re trying to provide options for people, but supporting thieves is a misuse of your talents and this websites potential.

With respect,
Curt

I would recommend Remember the Task as a more simplified Remember the Milk Notifier. It integrates really well, and has a much more simplified interface.

Actually, it looks like the “meat” of the RTM Notifier, without all those tabs and the outer shell.

It’s available here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/marketplace/index.cfm?event=marketplace.offering&offeringid=10052&marketplaceid=1
