We just released version 1.1.2. We fixed the issues with Google Calendar Connector and improved the Sync server scalability.
Handling traffic and user sign-ups
Hey dear TimeGT community!
As some of you know, last few days have been a roller-coaster here. After TimeGT website and app itself got hit by users coming from so many different reviews (thank you Lifehacker and MakeUseOf!) things started to go out of hand a bit.
In general everything was fine — handling ~10 new user sign ups per minute (thousands of sign ups total) was alright — but — we didn’t anticipate this volume and weakest link for failure turned out to be Google Apps SMTP e-mail gateway.
Standard edition has 500 outgoing mails per day limit and we reached that limit way too soon
As a result, Paypal tried to contact our site to activate trials but as our system was unable to send out the greeting e-mail things got unprocessed.
Issues with the trial activation should be solved now, my sincere apologies to those who suffered — our payment processing is now back to normal and trial activation e-mails should have gone out today. More performance improvements are on it’s way but things should be still very smooth even now.
We have fixed the limit issue and getting more people on board should not be a problem anymore!
Thanks for the patience! If your trial is still not active — please contact us at dev at timegt dot com!

New Years Edition (1.1.0) – Now with Google Calendar sync!
After a bit of silence we are back with good news. Version 1.1.0 is out Today and we added a great new feature to TimeGT. All Hedgehog package users can now sync their tasks with Google Calendar. It’s perfect time for keeping track of Your New Year’s resolutions.
New Features!
TimeGT syncs all of your tasks that have either Start or Due date (or both) assigned to them with Google Calendar. Also it fetches all nonrepeating tasks that you have already made there. Enable the feature only on those computers you wan’t to connect to Google.
Improvements
- Implemented preferences
- Added remember me functionality.
- Improved entering tasks. Insert button is now used for task insertion only. Projects and tags can be added with popup menu or toolbar button.
- Inserting new tasks with filters is much smoother. Newly inserted tasks stay for a time and let some changes applied to them and they don’t just “disappear” only because they don’t suit current filtering. Configure an appropriate “grace period” in the Preferences.
Bugfixes.
- Made Start and Due dates focus more visible.
- Drag and Drop no longer causes hanging in Linux.
- TimeGT now works with systems where systray has been disabled.
So Happy Christmas and enjoy your Life even more with a little help from TimeGT!
