I'm looking for a pc app that runs in the background and collates simple information about applications im running. Hopefully including the opened project (whereby visual studio includes the title of the project in the window title).
Also if it could include periods of inactivity that would be useful.
It's intended to help me fill out the dreaded timesheets!
Sounds like the exact situation that TimeSnapper was designed for.
From the website:
What is it?
TimeSnapper is an Automatic Screenshot
Journal
It runs in the background of your
computer, taking screenshots of your
desktop every few seconds all week
long.
Note: I'm not connected to these guys, not even as a customer. Well, I do read the blog. :-)
Check out Rescuetime
I rather like Slife, it gives me enough information to make timesheets.
Try out ProcrastiTracker
Try http://ptm.sourceforge.net/ It tracks how much time is spent in each application but doesn't keep track of the window titles. You can also create your own tasks. It will prompt you anywhere from every 10 minutes to an hour to see if your still working on the same task, if you don't click the still continuing button it will go to idle.

For designing the MEAN stack application, I am creating separate modules( angularjs,expressjs,nodejs,mongodb) and i am linking them manually. Can you please suggest me an IDE available for directly designing MEAN stack application.
These topics on Stack Overflow usually get flagged as contentious or something after a while. However I thought I would share my own experience of using JavaScript IDEs under Windows.
I was using PyCharm, however my dev box is ageing a bit and PyCharm is too heavy for it. Besides, as the name implies, it's really for Python, in fact I started using it for Django.
If I could afford WebStorm and a box to run it on, I'd definitely check that out :)
I fell back on the default at my workplace, Notepad++. However the linter add-on is a bit clunky, and it has real difficulty rendering JavaScript in HTML.
For now I am satisfied with my recent discovery of brackets.io. It does have an early days feel to it, but I find it's code completion particularly useful, and once I got an add-on to use JSHint instead of JSLint it chimes very well with the meanjs code I'm learning from. Meanjs uses swig templating, which parses as straight HTML so there's no problem there, but if you're wedded to a particular template module then you should look for an IDE that supports it, either directly or via add-ons. Brackets.io seems to have quite a lively add-on community at the moment.

Everybody,
I would like to ask you what is the most useful software to handle the lifetime of a project.
I will explain my need.
I'm working with some people in another town, and I will be the project manager of the project. I will receive the specifications from the client and send it to my developers (after slice it).
What I need is a tool where to put all the specifications (by small slice for instance) and each developer must write down the state of the development for each slice.
Using this I should be able to se which part is finished, which part is in progress.
I'm thinking to have also a bug handling process. I will test what is finished and create some sort of ticket for each bug.
The developers will receive a notification and for each bug fixed, they should be able to change some flag.
So, with something like that I should be able to monitor the development (what is finished, what is in progress, what bugs are stil open, etc).
I know MS Project Manager (but is not a web solution), some bug tracking solution, but nothing with all I want together.
So, does anyone knows some tool able to do that ?
I'm thinking at some web solution.
Thank you very much for any suggestion.
Best regards,
itsme.
I think ASANA (http://asana.com/) can fulfill your requirements, but it is slightly expensive. For an opensource solution take a look at http://www.project.net/. You can install it on a web server and use it for free. It can also easily be customized by programming.
best regards

i am normally developing either alone or with 2-3 other people. i handle almost all aspects of the business and development but as of current i am becoming overwhelmed with my client base. I need some system to help me out
What i am looking for is something that i can:
Use to manage my client contacts
Per client, manage the goals of the project im working/building on
Per client, per project, manage the bugs
Per client, per project manage support/helpdesk stuff... and then
turn those into bugs
Automate the communication of tickets and monitor email for support
stuff.
I am down to hear ANY ideas/options you have no matter how radical. :)
thank you!
We have bought the Source Code licence to JitBit Helpdesk, my colleague is in the process of adding some extra fields to support our work-flow, I have been working Visual Studio and AnkhSVN integration so that we can see bugs from VS2008/VS2010.
The user interface is functional, it can be styled to our likings, the code is a bit haphazard but the database is simple enough.
I've been using Assembla -- No complaints, and it covers just about everything -- and it's free to try.
We use HEAT from FrontRange solutions for most of the things you've mentioned. They also offer other solutions, such as CRM, etc. Nicely customizable, easy to interface to, nice self-service modules, excellent monitoring tools and auto-escalations... (and no I don't work for them. I've just been very happy with them over the last 10 years.)
Have a look at Gemini & SimplyFi
Take a look at Checkvist - it may work for you for clients/goals/plans/priorities. It is general purpose outliner and task manager.
For tickets/bugs you probably need a real issue tracker, like YouTrack.
Disclaimer: I'm affiliated with both of them.

I'm a graphic designer - turned web designer - turned web developer - who is currently trying to turn into a mac developer. I've nearly done programming my first app. Is a very, very simple application but I'm happy because I'm learning a lot of new stuff.
The problem is: I don't like how it looks.
As you may guess, design is a very big deal for me, and I think that an app like this, that is very simple, should at least look very good. I'd like to do something like this: http://transmissionapps.com/ a custom window, with custom colors et all.
I Think that I've already went trough half of the internet looking for info, but I didn't found anything I could make sense of. Maybe you can point me in the right direction on how to:
1) Customize the look of my main window
2) Customize the appearance of a table view.
3) Just the same with buttons.
If you know of any sample code, that will be great, I'm becoming obsessed with looking at somebody else's code.
Thanks! (sorry for the long post and the bad english)
What about Drawing a custom window on Mac OS X? Seems like that will get you a custom window to start.
Check out Brandon Walkin's BWToolkit.
http://brandonwalkin.com/bwtoolkit/
It has a bunch of nice looking UI elements for use in IB. It also has source code so you can modify it for your own needs.
Check out Apple's sample application, it may be what your looking for.

I use more than one machine for development in VS 2008. Is there a tool to automatically synchronize the snippets between the machines? Same concept of synchronizing browsers' bookmark.
If you have Vista and the LiveMesh client installed try this suggestion
Hope this helps.
The machines are in different locations, home and work so software like SyncToy won't work.
I don't know about SyncBack. It's not clear from their web site if it can be done over the web. I can't find the client software on MS's site for Live Mesh.
I will check ideas here:
http://lifehacker.com/372175/free-ways-to-synchronize-folders-between-computers
Try one of these:
1) http://www.getdropbox.com
2) https://www.foldershare.com/welcome.aspx
3) Microsoft Office Groove
I personally use SVN.
I tried foldershare and did all the setup and it's not syncing. Also when I chose On Demand type of synchronization instead of Automatic, I expected to see an option to trigger the synchronization manually and I couldn't find it. I didn't like the software.
Looked around and found syncplicity and it works fine.
Assuming you already know what files you need/want sync'd then some additional options to Mesh would be to tool-out. Maybe look at SyncToy or SyncBack to keeps these collection of files centralized - then have all your machines pull from the central data store.
There is also Live Sync (formery FolderShare) which works over the internet.
