jTrack lets you track time spent on projects in your browser -- even offline!

jTrack

When I first saw jTrack, the first thing that came to my mind was a joke from Funny People; Adam Sandler's character is talking to this girl in a bar, and she's trying to explain the concept of JDate. To which Sandler replies, "oh, so it's basically a list of Jewish people? I thought Jewish people don't like to be on lists."

So no, jTrack (by "Bulgaria Web Developers"!) isn't about tracking any specific person (or a religious denomination, for that matter). It's about tracking time and projects.

The concept is very nice: It's a bunch of Javascript and image files which you can download and use offline. You just grab the 35kb package off the site, unzip it, and load it up in your browser. You can then add tasks, mark them as done, and track time spent on them.

The list itself is very simple; there is no hierarchy to speak of, and it's not built for large-scale projects. More like tracking a single workday. It's jQuery-based, and is supposed to support local storage of the task list. When I tested it, it just didn't. An F5 key press wiped the page clean.

Still, it is a potentially useful tool for integrating into a larger system, or even to use as a sample jQuery project for educational purposes.
