It was good, very user-friendly, but not what I was looking for. In fact I've never found what was fitting my needs: a time tracker that says when I start to work, when I stop to work, how much per day, and something that doesn't use a huge footprint similar to java runtime. So I did it myself (in delphi win32). It never goes above 5Mb in RAM, it uses practically no cpu time(just 1 request every minute, which is undetectable), it uses sqlite (open format) and I added to it some csv exports. I also added the concept of projects/tasks, where it can switch from a task to another. That's all I need. But of course, it's not as beautiful as klok.
