You can get a free 1-person hosted Fogbugz account which includes (as well as bug tracking functionality) the ability to log time spent on tasks, and view nice filtered timesheets... so you can display work in a given period for a given project only, or for everything.

I use Fanurio: Fanurio - Time tracking software for freelancers

Runs on both Mac and PC so I moved its DB to my NAS so can access it from multiple machines.

Someone just recommended an app called Billings, going to try it out now.

Tried Billings, it's not up to much for UK contractors IMO. +1 for the spreadsheet suggestions.

Fine, you can write your own database front end to do exactly the same thing and spend all weekend working out if it works.

Mine does.

Mac Applications for Contractors?

Anybody got any good time management applications for Mac?

I've tried logging my weeks in iCal but it's really not suited to logging things like amount of hours worked in a day, expense calculating/recording etc.
