PopDo was recently listed in the german site ifun.de. Thank you Chris for the mention 😀.

This release fixes some minor bugs in the UI: A small delay that occurred when clicking the notes field or the reminder date field. Now each row is “click-through”. An issue in the “Sort By” popup list where the popup saved the selected item but did not recall it when opening the main window. Some other minor UI bugs. If there are no other reported bugs, this shall be the last 1.

This release fixes a couple of minor UI issues and improves the memory use while idle. There are still some outstanding bugs left to fix; those will be fixed by version 1.0.2: A slight delay occurs when clicking on the notes field or the reminder date field. The Today filter shows only tasks due today and not also tasks due in the past. The "Sort By” selector remembers the choice but doesn’t recall it when opening the main window again.

This is the first release, so it could contain some minor bugs. The reason for this app to exist is I wanted a task list compatible with Reminders (some kind of compatibility anyway) that was able to keep its filter after changing lists or reopening, something Reminders is unable to do right now.

After years of developing custom tools and scripts, mostly for Windows and the Web, one thing became clear to me: I didn’t want to develop for the mess that the web is and has always been, with no clear indicator that’s ever going to improve. I also didn’t want to be labeled as a “devops” or “full stack developer”, as if being a humble developer was a thing of the past.

FreelanceStation 1.5 is now published to the Mac App Store. This release fixes some serious bugs, improves the UI and makes invoicing more flexible. It also introduces a Payments window to show and also remove recorded payments, and a client accounts inspector panel for the Clients view, which allows you to edit the accounts balances and recompute the amounts. The Release Notes provide an itemised list of changes and fixes.

This release fixes two long-standing bugs: You can now close windows by pressing ⌘W. Previously it wasn’t possibly to create a client when it had a contact of type organization assigned to it.  You can download a 30 days free trial orpurchase from the App Store.

I just released FreelanceStation version 1.4. This new version includes integration with Apple Reminders and a Time Log. The integration with Reminders requires enabling the feature in Preferences and setting a default reminder list: When you create a new invoice, a reminder will be automatically created with an alarm set to the due date. You can opt-out of the reminder by clicking the Toggle Reminder button right next to the Cancel button in the invoice editor.

This is a bug fix release with mostly cosmetic changes but also, and more importantly, a change to improve the energy usage of the timer.

Explaining FreelanceStation’s Approach to Time Tracking and Its Workflow In the world of time tracking software there is a huge assortment of options, both in the web side and in the desktop side. These applications can be further categorized as either manual or automated tracking, with invoicing support or not. The manual time trackers require the user to manually start and stop the timer, while the automated trackers do that for you by detecting when you start working on some configured file or application or depending on the rules you have previously set for your workflow.
