Different View of Your FreshBooks(tm) Account

Great! Thanks FreshBooks, many timerSync users were asking why all the time entries end up in the admin’s time sheet. And practically main target of timerSync were only single users. But, now this has changed. Great work gays!

So, anyone interested, here is the announcement.

Basically, you’ll have different tokens for all of your staff members. I found the token for my test staff member at the bottom of his profile page (after logging in as him, of course).

BTW, in the newest timerSync version I added a possibility to change the token once you’ve setup your FreshBooks account.

Just right-click on the account list and a shortcut menu will pop up.

I finally got the time to sit back and think about my pricing policy for timerSync, motivated after a user complained that it really bothers him to pay every year for an upgrade (to have the newest version always) for such a tiny application as timerSync. First I ignored his comment, but now after FreshBooks released their timer widget for Mac and announced the soon release of a Yahoo widget for Vista, it got me thinking.

As it is now, I sell timerSync with 2 options, $19 for 3 months free updates & support and $24 for 1 year free updates & support. And I don’t think the price is too high (I know, compared to free it is), but I tried to get in the shoes of the user who made the complaint and I can understand him. Basic functionality of the timer is to count the time and submit it to FreshBooks. Not a rocket science. All the extras are welcomed (and I plan to add much more), but at the end it is just that, a timer.

At the moment I am thinking to drop the lower price of $19 and keep only the upper $24, with the change that the license would be for lifetime. I just got the idea and I believe I’ll implement it, but I’ll leave it for a few days. I am certain that if I decide to make this change, this will be retroactive, so everyone that bought timerSync will also get lifetime free updates. We’ll see…

Update: I’ve made up my mind, I decided to go this route, so now it is official, timerSync comes with lifetime free upgrades.

Just a quick note to anybody waiting for updates on timerSync; today I released v1.0.0.1. It is a 30 days trial. And a warning, timerSync & invoiceSync are not running well together yet. Best of all is to not install invoiceSync after timerSync is installed. I promise to fix this in the next release of invoiceSync.

I have the first BETA version of the Windows timer widget for FreshBooks. This is great. I could use my previous knowledge from writing InvoiceSync to finish the timer very fast. Anybody interested to have a look, here is a direct link to the installer.

I don’t have any descriptions prepared yet, but I think it is straight forward and I don’t believe anyone would have problems using it.

And here is a screenshot:

In some days (possible weeks) I will make a separate page for it on my site, but for now this is the only link to it.
