Atelier Software has released Fanurio, a Windows and Mac OS X time tracking and billing application designed for freelancers. With Fanurio you can easily organize your work, track time and create invoices.

In order to keep track of work, you can create a project for each client. Then you can record time and expenses. Work can be marked as billable or non-billable using a flat rate or an hourly rate.

While working for a client, you can create partial invoices for a project. But if you are working on more than one project for the same client then you can create an invoice for all of them. Invoices can be exported to a text or html file using an invoice template.

The application can be accessed from the Windows tray bar and it detects idle time. Fanurio can export its data to a CSV or Excel file so that you can easily import it in other applications like Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice.org Calc.

Here is a list with all the important changes of this version:

* Runs on Mac OS X
* Added an iTunes-like mini view to control the timer
* Added a pause timer button
* Time log can now be displayed for a date range
* Time log can now be exported to CSV and Excel
* Improved the invoice preview dialog to show more details

Fanurio costs $39 and it is available from http://www.fanuriotimetracking.com. You can download a fully-functional trial version from http://www.fanuriotimetracking.com/download.html
