PCWorld: Review – Free Task Tracking Application

Grindstone also lets you record how much time you spend on tasks and set time quotas for tasks. The interface is a little bland and unimaginative, the reviewer says.


“Keeping track of your work shouldn’t be a job in itself, but sometimes it feels that way. Epiforge Software offers a free app that can help: The Grindstone task tracker lets you create and manage to-do lists and offers a few nifty ways that help you time how long you spend working on specific tasks. Unfortunately, though, Grindstone suffers from a bland user interface that makes using it sometimes feel a bit too much like work

Grindstone launches in a small window that settles itself on the right side of your Windows desktop. (You can move it around and resize it, if you’d prefer.) Here, you can create a to-do list by entering tasks, which you can customize by creating a deadline and an estimated time allowance, as well as any notes pertaining to the task. If you’re a business user who charges for your time, you also can enter your rate.”
