TimeSnapper 2.7: Word Clouds reveal your computing lifestyle!

Word Cloud giving a quick overview of your computing lifestyle

This is an awesome update to TimeSnapper, entirely thanks to Atli, my co-conspirator.

This new report, Activity Cloud, analyses the title text of all the applications you've used and gives an immediate, high impact view into what the hell you've been doing with your life lately.

It's clever enough to avoid a bunch of common words/phrases that would otherwise muddy the picture.

Please give it a go. Download timesnapper (if you've tried it previously, this new version will renew your 30 day trial).

By the way, we always renew your trial with every new version. If you're a serial software trialler (like me) we don't want to punish you. We want to welcome you. And maybe get some feedback.

As always the release notes are available online but also, we (and by 'we' i mean 'Atli') have added an RSS feed so you can subscribe to learn about updates: Point your RSS aggregator here.

 

timesnapper word clouds and some kate bush 80s mega fun

This Word Cloud feature also, somehow reminds me of Kate Bush's embarrasingly awesome Cloud Busting filmclip from my 80's toddlerhood.

Activity Cloud is available by right-clicking on any screen and selecting "Reports" (or "Go to > Reports")

As always I have to beg you: bring the feedback! We live for feedback! (Anonymous feedback welcome too.) We act on so much of it, that we're pretty much your submissive slave, ever-willing to do thy bidding.

So, don't hold back in the suggestions department. (And purchasing a license is considered nice as well)

I love that filmclip. Remember it very clearly from my childhood too. Babooshka is good too ;-)

The activity cloud in TimeSnapper looks awesome. What happens when you click on the links? Does it zoom in?

All viewpoints welcome. But the right to delete any post for any reason is reserved. Don't make me do it. Aim for constructiveness. Comments may be republished, emailed to your loved ones or printed and used as toilet paper. Also, I get particularly nasty on comment spam. It's not worth even trying to post comment spam here -- your html is escaped, and your links are given a rel='nofollow'. By attempting to post a comment, you understand that if the comment is considered spam, at my absolute discretion, your IP address may be used as the target of a prolonged distributed denial of service attack. Your electricity might suddenly stop working. Your car tyres will go mysteriously flat. You will suffer permanent hairloss. Your dreams will be filled with terrifying monsters. And in any case I reserve the right to record and publish your IP address.

 

TimeSnapper is a life analysis system that stores and plays-back your computer use. It makes timesheet recording a breeze, helps you recover lost work and shows you how to sharpen your act.
