Woohoo, press coverage!

From the “other people are tooting our horn so now we will re-toot it ourselves, just in case you missed it the first time around” files:

Lifehacker!

Lifehacker named us one of their Top 10 Underhyped Web Apps.

To wit:

 … Freckle doesn’t require you to learn a new set of rules or input methods to track how you spend your time working for clients. If you type “Writing copy for Benderson Corp. 1h45m,” it assigns a 1-hour-and-45-minute billing for Benderson. Want to make something non-billable, but still tracked? Add an asterisk after it. Freckle offers visually appealing reports about how you’re spending time for clients, but also how you’re spending your own time, giving you the chance to assess how you’re spending your time. A plan with one account and one project is free, and any of Freckle’s other plans can be tried for 30 days free, so if you don’t find yourself addicted to its charts and graphs, you can return to your spreadsheet.

And don’t forget: you can write 1h45m, but you can also write 1.75 or 105 and Freckle will figure it out for you.

Futurezone–In German!

As you may know, Thomas and I (Amy!) live in Vienna, Austria, and so do our totally indispensable partners at abloom. ORF is the Österreichischer Rundfunk–the (publicly-funded) Austrian Broadcasting Agency, essentially.

They did a piece on Freckle, and another time service based in Austria. It’s in German originally but this translation is pretty decent!

Dan Taylor’s Video Interview – 8 mos Ago

A while back, we did a video interview for Dan Taylor, a social media reporter who also lives in Vienna. Our interviewer was his partner Magda Pressel. And Dan clearly had a blast putting the footage together. (Just play the first few seconds, even, to see what I mean!)

It’s particularly fun to look back and see where things were when we were just getting started!
