Timings Beta for Mac
Timings Beta for Mac OS 10.7 is now available for download.
All the seats for the iOS Version are taken.

As mentioned in the last post you still can sign up for the beta.
Mountain Lion and TimeLog
Later this year Apple will release OS X 10.8 called Mountain Lion. Beside adding a lot of cool new features, Apple also decided to drop some features.
Unfortunately one of them is the technology that TimeLog uses to talk to iCal.
This comes not totally unexpected because there where a lot of changes in Lion already. For that reason I started developing a brand new application last summer. One that does not rely on iCal:
Timings
There will be a private beta in the next couple of week.
As there is only a limited number of iOS devices allowed for testing, you may sign up for testing today and I will pick some testers when everything is ready.
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and iOS 5 on the iPhone.
Update: TimeLog seems to run on current Mountain Lion Preview
Alarms & iCloud
If you like to sync your To Dos over iCloud (With the Reminders-App on iOS and/or another Mac), select the “Reminder” calendar in Alarm’s preferences. (This does not work with Alarms Express)
iCal needs to be running to sync the To Dos. (And it sometimes takes iCloud pretty long to sync)
OS X 10.7 Lion
These versions of my products are working on OS X 10.7 Lion (Version indicates minimal requirement for Lion)
GrandTotal 2.0.1
TimeLog 4.5.8
Alarms 1.2 & Alarms Express 1.2
DynaMite 2.0.5
CleanShot 1.0.2
Apple issues “Snow Leopard Font Update”
About one month after breaking the PDF rendering with the OS X 10.6.7 update, Apple has released a fix for this.
Snow Leopard Font Update is available from the built-in OS X System Update or here
On my test machine it has fixed the issue.
Hint: Push your Alarms to your iPhone
If it happens to you that your Mac is running most of the time you can use Growl and Boxcar to push your Alarms directly to your iPhone.
This won’t work with “Alarms Express”.
