Unit-based lists and UI refresh with R7
Unitlists!
These are based on an arbitrary unit in a decimal scheme and are ideal for things like vacation days, countable events (like for example a user having pre-paid for a number of support calls, etc), and anything else that is counted in whole numbers instead of hours/minutes.
Of course you can have as many such unit-based lists as you want in any project. They even have a unique feature: Offsets. An offset allows you to enter a number that it added to or subtracted from the values in the list. You can use that to store vacation days a user has left, or similar.
The new "New Project" dialog lets you make important project settings right when creating the project. Or you can just click ok and make all these settings later.
A dedicated Project Window lets you access all project settings and show the different list windows.
All this comes in a shiny new package - KT sports a new icon set across the whole application!
Of course this is only the beginning! Additional list types and new features are in active development, fuelled by user feedback.
So whatever you want to see in KT, let me know!

R6 Update 3 brings a UI refresh, autosave and settingsmigration
Now KT sports a fancy new UI heavily inspired by Google's Material Design.
Because R6 Update 2 did nothing but integrate this new design, it was skipped as a public realise and only tested in a closed beta. But now there's Update 3, which not only brings you this new UI, but also a new autosave feature, as well as automatic migration of existing application settings if you've used a previous version of Keeping Time!
The Welcome Center now has a clearer look - there are big additions planned to that area of KT for the next version!
The Timelist is the heart of the software. Here you enter times, create new lists, etc.
The tracker window lets you track your work time live while working. Just load it, start the timer and hit Add Time when you're done! KT will add the time to your list, which makes keeping track of work time effortless.
Quite often you will need to use the same descriptions and details for your work again at a later date. That's why KT can optionally save all Summaries and entered Details inside the project, so they will auto-complete whenever you add a new time! These values can be exported and imported into other projects, too.
The Settings give you full control over all aspects of KT. Set the language to use (new languages are super easy to add yourself!), choose whether to show the Welcome Center and load a particular project automatically, and much more.
Autosave, automatic backups (either to the project folder, or a custom backup folder) - KT will even let you choose to preserve a certain number of backups, so you can have a whole work history!
To keep prying eyes from looking at the open projects, you can optionally lock the UI with a password, which will hide all active windows.
