Anyone have any simple timesheet/time card software that times how long you work?
I'm working from home ATM and want to monitor how long I am working.
e.g. click a button when I start, when I go for lunch, when I come back and when I finish for the day.
Then I want to know how many hours I have worked that day/week/month etc

You could use a Stopwatch.

Have one button that starts it and another that stops it. Then have a third button that you can press when you're done for the day which saves the day's data to a database and resets the Stopwatch to be used for the next day.

I track my time on my Outlook Calendar. I create appointment items for each block of time and note the project Im working on or tasks being done etc. Then at the end of the month I run an advanced search specifying the date start / end.

Why don't you just build your own?

Is this just for you, or are you looking for something for a whole group of people?

How would you need something more advanced? You're looking for stopwatch functionality, so why use something other than a stopwatch?

Granted, the interface and storage and reporting parts of the application can be beefed up around what the stopwatch does, but basically your OP asked for an app that uses a stopwatch.

Because I am lazy :D
and I was hoping someone would already have a great solution in place that was a superset of what I wanted.

Well if you are looking for a "stopwatch" feature, you can very easily use Outlooks Journal. It can be set to track time running a program so no start/stopping by clicking anything is needed. It just tracks start/stop time of the program to determine how long you were working in that program. Now its up to you to make/keep it accurate by not leaving your app open for all day while you watch tv :D
