Thanks again to Stefan Fürst of Media Atelier for speaking with me. GrandTotal and TimeLog keep me very busy right now. Currently I have no intentions to launch a new product.

I focus on the future versions of my applications.

You have several Mac OS and iPhone applications, are there any future projects you have in the works?

Personally I don’t see the point of selling boxed software these days.

I just ran across one Belarus site selling an outdated crack of GrandTotal for 8€…

You don’t have to search for a distributor. What are some of the difficulties you run into being an independent developer? I was lucky to have a big installed base of TimeLog users and sales where excellent from the first day on. How do you go about promoting and distributing your applications? Meanwhile I supplied a grayish, less screaming one as default. Actually the templates are not intended to be used 1:1.Īt the beginning, the built-in template had a fairly bright orange typo on it, and instead of modifying it, a lot of users just kept that. One of my users (hi Frank) provided me with some very nice layouts. How did you get your creative juices flowing to create such usable invoice designs? You have to also consider the feature-set. It’s more about dealing with the limited screen-space you have on the iPhone. 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. Not really - being in control of the source allows you to make them fit together. TimeLog is one of your other apps, is it difficult to create applications that “play well” with each other? 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.
