Awsome!
Is there any roadmap or release date?

FloMay 22nd, 2013 at 12:02 pm

Would also like to know a rough estimate when it is going to be released. Looks very cool so far.

MichaelMay 31st, 2013 at 4:52 am

Nice job! Will Minco 2 be linked to iCal and/or Reminders? If not I would love to see an iPad and iPhone counter part that syncs with the Mac version.

MichaelMay 31st, 2013 at 4:16 pm

Any chance you can add support either in the notes or in the url for file links?

celmaroMay 31st, 2013 at 6:35 pm

Hi, yes we will do this.

celmaroJune 1st, 2013 at 7:09 am

Yes Minco will be linked with iCal (Calendar) and Reminders and there will be also an iOS app syncing with the Mac.

celmaroJune 1st, 2013 at 7:13 am

We have done all the basic work and assum that we are ready in summer this year.

Christoph von SiebenthalJune 1st, 2013 at 4:13 pm

Its seems to be exactly what I’m looking for.
Hope it will be available soon.
If you need alpha and beta tester…

CFMJune 6th, 2013 at 5:34 pm

I am relying on minco more and more. The new version and the iOS version will be most appreciated. The interface from my macs to iCal has made time tracking so much better. Trust me, I’ve tried a billion ways to track billable tkme over 3 decades and this, by far, is the best. Thanks!

Juergen JansonJune 18th, 2013 at 9:13 am

The new version looks really great. If a task is split into multiple day/time fragments over the period of let’s say a week, will it support the Notes you have added to the calendar item (i.e. the detailed description of what work was done for that task segment) to be transferred to the CSV files? I tried with the current version but could only get the notes which are attached to the task itself.

celmaroJune 26th, 2013 at 7:16 pm

Thanks Juergen,

In Minco 2 you have a note field for each work-time.
I think this is what you are looking for.

Best, Marc

Pierre BriquetJune 26th, 2013 at 11:45 pm

Can’t hardly wait πŸ™‚

Juergen JansonJuly 31st, 2013 at 5:42 am

Hello Marc, any news on the release date for the v2.x ?

celmaroJuly 31st, 2013 at 10:47 am

Hi Juergen,

WWDC is every year an event which let us dig in new technologys and reconsider functionality of our apps. Apple has also announced improvements of iCloud which we would like to integrate in Minco (but I am still investigating if they got it finally work).
Let me know if you are interested that I add you to our beta list and I will send you a version as soon as we are ready.

Marc

FloJuly 31st, 2013 at 1:33 pm

MichaelJuly 31st, 2013 at 5:55 pm

I would love to beta test too πŸ˜‰

Any sneak peeks of Minco for iOS?

celmaroSeptember 4th, 2013 at 11:41 am

With the new iOS 7 we have to do a lot of redesign to adapt the new UI guidelines.

If you are interested in a preview version (beta) when we are ready let me know.

Best,

Marc

MichaelSeptember 4th, 2013 at 10:14 pm

Definetly interested in a preview version…

MarcSeptember 5th, 2013 at 12:37 pm

Is there any timeframe when it is planned to release minco2?

celmaroSeptember 9th, 2013 at 8:58 am

I hope we are ready in some weeks.

celmaroSeptember 9th, 2013 at 9:25 am

@Michael

Thanks I added you to the list and will let you know.

Marc

KathleenSeptember 14th, 2013 at 6:56 pm

anxiously awaiting the new version. Can tasks be put into categories to accumulate? I am a teacher who coaches other teachers, fixes tech, researches for resources, tests resources, writes up and implements the results.

celmaroSeptember 16th, 2013 at 11:06 am

Yes, Minco 2 will have contexts which can be compared with categories.

NickSeptember 30th, 2013 at 2:25 am

As a longtime Minco user I a happy to be a beta tester

GunnarSeptember 30th, 2013 at 8:16 pm

Hey Marc,
will there also be a feature to add “missed” times?

Yes, would also beta-testing.

Cheers, Gunnar

GunnarSeptember 30th, 2013 at 8:22 pm

Ok, now I read the previous Blogposts.
So my question seems to be answered πŸ˜‰

Can’t wait to test it!
Using minco since.. 1.0? Best tool!

Gunnar

FloOctober 7th, 2013 at 5:05 pm

Are there any news (beta start, product launch) you can give? Eagerly waiting… πŸ™‚

celmaroOctober 8th, 2013 at 11:41 am

Hi Flo,
I am currently working on the Extension (former Adapter) Editor and Minco 2 looks more and more complete but I can not give you an exact date.
As soon as I am ready I will inform all interested in beta testing and currently on my list.

celmaroOctober 8th, 2013 at 11:43 am

Hi Gunnar,

Thanks, I am glad to hear this.
I have added you on the beta list.

celmaroOctober 8th, 2013 at 11:45 am

Thanks Nick,

I have added you to the beta list.

DanielOctober 15th, 2013 at 12:33 pm

I just recently bought Minco 1 and use it every day. Great App!
Minco 2 looks even better! Are you already beta testing it? I would love to join in… 

Best regards
Daniel

celmaroOctober 16th, 2013 at 10:39 am

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for that. I will add you to the beta list and let you know when I am ready.

brendanOctober 19th, 2013 at 10:27 am

I’d love to help test as well. Am a beta tester for other (much larger) apps, but can put minco 2 thru its paces in a small three person office

SaschaOctober 21st, 2013 at 10:30 am

Any news when the Beta starts?

celmaroOctober 22nd, 2013 at 8:20 am

Hi,

you are welcome. I added you to the beta list and let you know when we are ready.

Thanks, Marc

celmaroOctober 22nd, 2013 at 8:26 am

Hi Sascha,

I can’t give you an exact date but it will not take to long. I am currently working on the extensions (former output adapter) and this should be the last part I have to finalise before we can start with the beta.

Mark RobbinsOctober 22nd, 2013 at 7:21 pm

I just updated my mac to mountain lion. Now I am having trouble editing my tasks and adding tasks for the past…..

Mark RobbinsOctober 22nd, 2013 at 7:22 pm

Please add me to beta list….

Mark RobbinsOctober 22nd, 2013 at 7:25 pm

Minco doesn’t seem to be communicating with calendar now when I edit events in Calendar on the Mac, after my update to Mountain Lion….

celmaroOctober 23rd, 2013 at 8:34 am

Done.

celmaroOctober 23rd, 2013 at 8:36 am

Hi,

There is no known issue with Mountain Lion. Maybe we have to check the preference settings.

Marc

DamienOctober 26th, 2013 at 1:40 am

Minco now crashes when iCal and Minco are both up on the new Mac OS (Mavericks). Are you guys working on a bug fix for this?

celmaroOctober 26th, 2013 at 7:30 am

I got two other user having issues with Mavericks but I am currently not able to reproduce it.
If you have more detailed information (e.g. steps to reproduce, console messages) please send it by mail.

I will do my best to fix the issue.
