Everyone hates timesheets and yet every timesheet app seems to be about more ways to manually enter time. We decided to change that.
We've always prided ourselves on better quality timesheets. Some of us would keep a journal during the day, others review emails, commits, tickets at the end. No matter what it sucked and was always a bit like fictional archeology. It sounds right but the bones might have been re-arranged a bit and something is always missing.
Commit logs, or task lists are only a small part of the story. Lots of work gets lost in meetings, emails, phone calls and the like. Real work happens across multiple dimensions (no matter where ya go, there y'are) and it's a pain to go find it at the end of the day (or week). The more clients you have the worse this is.
We built http://www.crisply.com http://www.crisply.com to aggregate everything we do into a journal automatically organized by project. We also roll up time when we can. The results are a more accurate (rather than precise) timesheet with rich supporting evidence. You also get great analytics at the time and activity level. Crisply integrates with almost any system. Mention HN if you signup and I'll make sure you get in.
