More Work Done for You - Automatic Categorization!
Yaware.TimeTracker records all used applications and visited websites along with the time spent on them, and categorizes them automatically. There are 15k resources in the time tracker’s database with different productivity statuses: productive (essential for work), unproductive (distracting from work) and neutral (unknown or less related to work).
Of course you can add new resources to the database, or change productivity status of the existing ones, if needed. So, you get the most accurate data, that allows you to see, who is the most productive employee, eliminate time eaters and correct the project direction before the deadline.
Harvest does not provide its users with the above options.
