The centerpiece of Grindstone is the Stopwatch, a small, ribbon-like window that will appear on your screen when you start timing a task. The Stopwatch automatically stays on top of other windows and can be moved to any area of the screen. From the Stopwatch you can quickly and easily control timing functions, or change the task you're timing.
Never worry about leaving your desk when you're timing with Grindstone. When you get back Grindstone will notice that you've come back after being away. Answer Grindstone's questions about the time you were away, and it will automatically correct your timing history.
Reporting with Grindstone is radically easy and very informative. Just click the Reports menu and select the type of report you want. Select tasks and date ranges in the Task List window and watch the report adjust to every selection you make. All reports also include a full array of options to save, export, and print their results.
Grindstone can adapt to fit anyone's special work details using custom fields. You can create custom fields on your own and then pull them in as columns, or group tasks by them. Reports can use them to give you more perspectives on how you've spent your time.
Task Force, the cloud-based solution for organizational time tracking, was built to make it easy for teams to use Grindstone together. With Task Force Sync, submitting your time to your project manager or supervisor is just as easy as Grindstone made it to track it. Task Force Sync will also alert you when you are assigned new tasks or any of your due dates or estimates change.
