Grindstone Alternatives

Grindstone

Grindstone is a desktop application, produced by Epiforge Software, that allows users to create and organize tasks and to track time. It includes a range of other features that supplement this primary functionality. The software is currently offered as a free download for Microsoft Windows users. Epiforge Software has announced plans to release Grindstone on Mac OS, and a compliment to the software which would allow pooling data from multiple users.

Major features include a stopwatch to allows users to select a task theyre working on, during which Grindstone will attribute time to that task. The Stopwatch can detect when the user leaves their computer and ask them how to reconcile their time away when they return.
Profiles allows the user to create profiles as a way of separating their tasks into different areas. Tasks can be moved from one profile to another if necessary. It include various reports that display the users time in the different way (ie a three-dimensional pie chart, time sheet, invoices etc). Time sheets and invoices generated can be printed, or exported as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets or PDF files.
