TimeSprite Version 2 Release

Very few problems have been reported during the beta testing, so it is time to officially release TimeSprite version 2.

TimeSprite Version 2 is a free upgrade for those who purchased version 1.

Changes and new functions:

  • Use the process name to group windows that don’t have enough information to group by title. This avoids having many short entries for “Save File” dialogs etc.
  • Add journal and weekly and monthly timesheet views of data.
  • Add wildcard support when grouping by title.
  • Records can be grouped by time, overriding other grouping for that specific time.
  • Add export and import functions so data from 2 PCs can be merged.
  • Add support for adding notes in journal.
  • Add copy to clipboard so you can copy and paste to applications like Excel.
  • Add reminder function to notify you after you have spent a certain amount of time on an activity.
  • Automatically minimize the monitor after startup if it was minimized when shut down.
  • The database has been modified for improved performance and smaller size.
  • The default data retention period has been extended from 45 to 9999 days.
  • Improve the search for common parts of window titles for grouping.
  • Add a reminder when the monitor is paused.
  • Evaluation period extended to 30 days.
  • Use the same list for grouping and the TimeSprite Monitor activity selection. Most people thought these were the same list anyway, and were confused when they were different.
  • Fix occasional database errors, and improve the diagnostic information gathered when an error occurs.
  • Improve and fix bugs in the date and time selection.
