App roundup: Timekeeping and billing
When I started freelancing last November, I knew I needed to get my act together about billing. I have a love/hate relationship with billing: I love getting paid, but I hate doing billing. Thankfully, there are many, many apps that help you do this. If you're just starting out, you might be a little overwhelmed at just how many ways there are to track your time. This little post here isn't meant to be a comprehensive list, but instead a place for freelancers to start looking for a small-scale billing solution that works best for them. Follow me for a look at a handful of apps and services that will help you keep your time tracking and invoicing in line: Billable Fanurio On The Job WorkTimer Tempo LiveTimer Freshbooks

Billable 1.1
Clickable Bliss recently took the wraps off of Billable 1.1, a nice update to their billable hours tracking app. New in this update: Tax support (both US and International) Custom Invoice numbering New footer area for customizable notes Many bugs smashed There is even a nice screencast that walks you through all the new features (something I wish more developers would do).
