![]() I love the iPhone, my users love it… How difficult is it to write applications for a separate platform like the iPhone? What drove you to develop GrandTotal for the iPhone? I love when applications incorporate companion mobile apps. ![]() Last but not least, I did not want to raise the price of TimeLog, nor was I willing to give away the app for 19€. One reasons is that TimeLog can collect working time over the network which means more than one person can be involved.Īnother is that a lot of users don’t track time because they work for fixed fees anyway. Was there a reason you chose to write GrandTotal and TimeLog as separate applications? Some invoicing application’s log time as well. I submitted it to MacUpdate with no expectations. I wrote it for myself to figure out where my time going. TimeLog was my first Mac application I wrote, it was written in RealBasic. It’s harder to deal with 3rd party integration.

This required a bit a more flexible of a tax system - which in some cases can make the product look more difficult than it actually is. GrandTotal is a European product dealing with international customers is a very common thing here. Were there any issues or complications dealing with taxes? One of the features of your application is the ability to have multiple customizable tax rates, domestic and international. Where did you get the idea to create the application? Maybe I should mention, that I tried this several times before and failed big time. Thanks to my users, with their input I could release a fairly mature product in September. After 7 months of development I picked some of my TimeLog users to give it a try. If I would fail on that my yet unnamed product would never make it to a final release. I started in early 2008, building the layout engine, which was the most important thing to get done. How did you get started developing the application? The key feature is that invoices can have almost any look, which is really important to most of my users. ![]() GrandTotal does what most service providers (hopefully) do from time to time: It creates invoices and estimates and keeps track of the payments and due dates. ![]()
