7. Slife

Slife is another time tracking option that is more of a time visualization and sharing tool than the other services we tested. Instead of running a timer to show how you spend your time, Slife represents time as visual dots and bars, with the length determined by how long you spend on a particular task or application.

Unlike every other time tracking tool included in this review, Slife in trial mode limits the number of applications that can be tracked to three. To add insult to injury during our tests, Slife did not properly log the activities across all three applications running (typically Firefox, Internet Explorer and Word). Slife’s documentation claims that it will start tracking an application as soon as you start it up, but it just didn’t work that way in our test with Slife on Windows XP.

Sure, the program is still in beta mode and the visualization approach is certainly unique, but without the ability to properly and accurately track application activity, Slife is not the best choice for serious time tracking.
