Are you aware of any good time tracking web application (hosted, download) that is free or open source?

I am looking for something to track the time I spend on projects and bug fixes. I am already looking at ASP .NET 2.0 Time Tracker Starter Kit but wanted to see if there is anything else out there or should I write my own application.

I use SlimTimer which is awesome :)

Doesn't work so well under FF 3.0.12. Not intuitive (I couldn't figure out how to start a task in under 10 seconds, and when I closed the window which had a task in it, I reopened the window to find the task had vanished).

I've used this for years but it seems to not have had any new development for quite a while

Paymo and Clocking IT are worth a look. There is also Zoho's project management tool which I think is useful but free for 1 project only.

I tried out zoho..it works best in my case.

Paymo is in dire need of fixing. http://imgur.com/eu0HB.png

ClockingIT is exceptional. Works in FF 3.x, fast, simple to use, and free. Two relatively minor issues: (1) It continually prompts to send an e-mail when a task is complete. (2) It has a slightly cluttered UI.

@dave you can turn off that email in your preferences.

Stephen Walther has a video on www.asp.net that walks you through building a simple task list using .Net MVC (3.5 SP1). It's not exactly a time tracker, but you could easily extend the task list to include a timer, if you wanted to build your own.

Basecamp is a project management app with a free version. Includes time tracking. The pricing link shows pay versions but there is a small link at the bottom to the free version sign up.

BaseCamp recently was in the news for a Ruby Vunerability: http://arstechnica.com/security/news/2009/09/ruby-on-rails-vulnerability-affects-twitter-ie8-immune.ars

I've always used Crazy Pug's TimeTracker for collecting metrics for timesheets -- completely free, too...

Check out Intervals. It was built to track time against projects and tasks and is geared towards developers.

Rescue Time is an excellent general purpose time-tracker. It can tell you what time you're spending in certain applications, on particular websites, etc., all in a pretty graphical format.

Actually there is an interesting one. www.crewtrumpet.com, but it is not for computer users more for mobile staff that tracks time via SMS.
