Time tracker

The time tracker application is to track amount of time spent on a project/job.

Requirements

• Run on IOS
• Prefer to run on Android too
• one active job at a time
• each job has a category (billable, IR&D, ...)
• Each job has spot for job number (or just memos)
• Each time period has descriptor (WAH vs. not)
• Set descriptor globally, triggers stop and start of job to create new record
• Associate job number(s) with project
• Be able to view time for any day
• Keep track of most recently used numbers and optionally sort by this
• Edit previous time periods
• Delete all time before Date X

Future

• allow descriptors to be edited?

Design ideas

• Write in HTML5 and use javascript localstorage object so that it runs offline
• optionally have it connect to a server database for more storage
• Use JSON objects as strings in the local store
