About the Gadget

I use FreshBooks for my billing. It’s a great system that I recommend for everyone.

To help keep time easier, I created this Vista Sidebar Gadget. It’s based on FreshBooks’ Time Tracking Widget for OS X. It lets you input your FreshBooks time directly from your Windows Vista Sidebar.

One of FreshBooks’ web designers, Jaco Joubert, created the beautiful skin for the gadget. Thanks Jaco!
