Mac user? We got something special for you: The first sleek Mac client for mite was released today. With DynaMite, you can control your timers directly from the menu bar of your operating system.

If you’re tracking your exact working hours throughout the day, the tool comes in pretty handy. Always keep an eye on running timers; start, stop or switch timers with a single click. Directly from your menu bar, featuring a native look & feel. It cannot get much more comfortable to track your times.

DynaMite was developed by Swiss MediaAtelier, using our open API. It is available in English as well as in German language. You will have to run Mac OS 10.4.10 (Tiger) or higher to experience it. Please activate the API for your mite.account if you want to give it a try: you will find the option by clicking on your user name in the upper right-hand corner.

A trial is available for free forever, which will restrict the running time of your timers. A single licence can be purchased within the external application. DynaMite is €10, support by MediaAtelier included.

Any feedback, suggestions and ideas should be directed to Stefan Fürst, the developer. Thank you so much, Stefan, for your great work!

Update 12/04/09: Tiger is not supported anymore. DynaMite runs on 10.5 (Leopard) or higher.

How might a product do in in the eyes of an international jury, that has been improved and rethought for two years now, based on the feedback of German-speaking users?

How will a one-year-old German startup do, suddenly facing competition from companies from all over the world?

How might an enthusiastic just-out-of-college founder duo do, running their tiny yet agile business, compared to middle-sized VC-backed teams, driven by experienced corporate guys?

We’ll see for ourselves: Today, we launch the web-based time tracking tool mite in English language.

Do you think we deserve a chance? Because we do care for an excellent product and enthusiastic customers, rather than for VC, a big hit on TechCrunch, or a short-dated attention peak?

Spread the word, then! Tell your overseas colleagues. Donate a tweet. Blog about the launch. And don’t forget to drop us some helpful feedback, if you happen to stumble upon a bug.

Let’s take the ride together. And get some questions answered.
Thank you so much.
