Klok is a time-planning application, which was designed to help users manage their time, projects, and relations with their clients, as well as also track their own activity in order to help improve their own management.
A nice interface will show your daily projects in the form of blocks that fill up with the events that you plan for the current day and the projects in your schedule that are being accomplished. One of the program's most appreciable features is time tracking, which is automatically activated after you have entered new projects. You may choose the “work on” option for a project that you intend to track, or you may drag the project’s name into a box named “drop here to work on.” Afterward, a timer will appear and display the time still available for the project. Then, in the "Week View" section, you may set or change properties, such as specific colors for every project, project name, contact name, and contact details in order to make all these details more noticeable.
Klok further allows you to set your preferences with respect to where you would like to store your data, in which formats you like your sheduled events to be displayed and others. The Dashboard reporting system indicates how much time you used on billable projects or non-billable ones, and it also calcullates if your billable work time has been increasing or decreasing over the past month.
To conclude with, Klok proves to be an efficient instrument for saving relevant information about your work time, as well as act appropriately toward improving your skills for time and project management.
v1.5.1 [Sep 26, 2008]
New Features:
* System Tray Integration
* Monthly and Weekly timesheet export with comments.
* Ability to reorganize the project tree through drag and drop
* Drill down ability on Pie chart reports

Bugs Fixed:

* Editing the start or end time from the project view screen does not update the table on that screen until you switch to another project and then come back
* Recent projects are lost when you close and re-open Klok
* If you have a timer running at midnight, it stops at 11:59 - This still happens (for technical reasons to be addressed later), but a second timer will start at midnight and continue counting until you stop it.
