Punch In 4+

This is an outstanding app, and a huge improvement over my previous time tracking "app": a google spreadsheet. Whereas with the spreadsheet I had a big pain point when switching between tasks, and would avoid it or estimate times later on, Punch In makes this a snap with the menu bar item. I have one small suggestion, and one bigger one to improve it:

* Order the current projects in the menu bar dropdown by most recent usage rather than lexicographically
* Allow projects to be optionally broken up into smaller "tasks" with their own time assignments which are totalled up into the project total time. Right now to achieve this I basically have to create multiple projects, each representing a part of a larger project, which isn't ideal.

Thanks for a great app!

I strongly recommend against purchasing this software if you intend to use the export functionality, or expect quality software. I emailed them 8 months ago, due to their tendency to frequenctly change the export format, asking them to please keep it stable. They responded with an apology. Since then, the format has changed numerous times to zero benefit. Certain fields will move around, delimiters will change, etc. Since I was trying to parse their export format to add a feature they seem unable to (a simple total hours worked per week export), constant changing makes it impossible.

Finally, with this latest version, they have broken the export functionality, as the data exported does not match the data shown in the display. I will have to find and purchase other software to fit my goals.

The workflow doesn't make a lot of sense to me in this app. Surprisingly, I had a hard time figuring out how to use the interface, and when I figured it out, I was disappointed in how hard it was to start timing for a particular project. I was expecting to navigate to the big client buttons and hit "start". But you have to start timing and then afterwards fiddle with the UI to assign the time to the correct client. It's pretty weird and convoluted for a task (timing work on client projects) that should be totally mindless. (I don't want to spend any time or effort tracking my time! I'm thinking about work!) This is actually almost harder than using a spreadsheet.
