  • Screen Capture Tool

    PicPick is a wonderful free alternative to SnagIT. When hunting for free Screen Capture tools, got really impressed with this small and free tool.

    PicPick provides the following ways to capture screen:

    • Full Screen
    • Active Window
    • Auto Scroll
    • Region

    It also includes a Image Editor that allows for annotation, basic image editing, exporting and sharing.

    It also provides, zoom, whiteboard and crosshair to be used on the desktop. Worth the try!

  • Time Tracking Tool

    Suddenly we felt the need to time track in our project. So I started the hunt on the best free time tracking tools available before even trying to write my own. A colleague of mine, Shubham has written his own time tracking tool and had been using it. Didn’t get a chance to try it though.

    Following were the features I was looking for:

    • Must be a Desktop App and should not want me to sign-up to use it.
    • Free
    • Easy to use
    • Support for Color coding different tasks

    I have settled with Klok, an Adobe AIR application for time tracking. It is really simple and lightweight install. It has all the features I wanted. Klok installs on the desktop. It allows to create Projects and Sub Projects to track time.

    It has a timer that starts as you start working. It allows to export to Excel and CSV formats. Really handy to report at the end of each week, month or year.

    More to work on and more to track. Happy Working!
