I think I should blog about Bill Engine after finnish importing all my existing clients and invoices and play around with a bit more but the promotion is going to end today , so I think of doing a quick intro  for this invoice application with currently having a promotion price $20 on the Mac App Store.

I m using on the job to manage my clients and invoices for the past few month , too bad it seem like pretty dead, not much of development happening since I got the application from one of the bundle sale. On the other side Bill Engine is one of the latest product from the Jumsoft company which been quite active after the launching of Mac App Store, their Money4 is one of the top sale of personal finance management application and I been using it for some time, that’s why I m quite confident on their products.

So What Bill Engine can do ? The slogan is ‘Your personal invoice generator’, which mean it can help you to generate invoice and manage any related info, for example you can design your invoice,  manage the project hours and generate the report on which invoice is still outstanding.

I have taken all the main feature screenshot as below.

Bill Engine Invoices

You can switch between listing or grid view , the grid view with nice ui indicate invoice status

Bill Engine Projects

Project info with the standard feature include time tracking , the round icons on the right is the invoice history

Bill Engine Inventory

This might be special for freelance but is good for some of the business , you can listing down all kind of products or service you have

 

Bill Engine Clients

Client listing page allow you to check on invoices / projects that related to this client fast, the listing also told you which client still haven't pay you

Bill Engine Template Editor

a nice invoice template designer, there are different fonts, color, shape to mix with and some default templates

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bill Engine Report

Report Listing which allow you to filter the date range between different type of content include project, invoice , clients

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beside these main feature , there are some tiny feature which perfect your generating invoice experience including , multiple tax combination, syncing with iCal, multiple currency support and password security which allow you to lock the whole DB. The storage feature is the same like Money4 which is document based, which mean you can split your personal or multiple company invoice into individual document.

So far there are one important feature that I can’t find it on Bill Engine which I think they really need improve it is the import feature, currently they only allow you to import clients from your address book, I think they should provide csv import for clients and invoice , this will help for user who like to migrate from their old system.

If all these sounds interesting to you or you want to get an invoice application to replace your current one, get the free trial today but the $20 promotion price on the Mac App Store is until today only, grab it before it’s too late.

This is my 3rd year as a mac switcher ,  I would like to share the top 10 Mac Apps that I use in 2010. Although some of the apps I just start using not long ago, but it soon become my favourite after my first try.

1. Google Chrome for Mac – this has become my main browser once it release the mac edition, although I still having problem for some of the website , but it has been my default browser.

2. Xmind – The cross-platform mind map tools, combine with Dropbox , I can get access to all my mind map in different platform.

3. Textmate – One of the best code editor , although everyone seem like waiting for Textmate 2. This is the main text editor I use for all my coding, some time I will combine with Espresso file upload feature to do some fast code editing.

4. Sparrow – A rather new Gmail client for Mac , I using it to manage my Gmail account, the first launch was disappointed, but now day is getting better , is like Tweetie for email.

5. Skitch – I use Skitch to snap screenshot most of the time, Skitch allow you to capture and annotate the screen shot easily, most of the images I use on this blog are snap by Skitch, recently they just release Skitch pro which offer some enhance feature.

6. Evernote – A cross-platform notes services, It allow you to sync your notes across different platform. I access the services through the Evernote Mac Desktop version to keep track of my notes, ideas and blog post. Recently Evernote just upgrade the upload limit for both free and paid user.

7. Reeder – I bought the iPad version first and like the apps concept very much , Once I try the desktop beta version I become addicted on it , this is one of the best RSS Reader client that sync with Google Reader.

8. MAMP – OSX is come with Apache and PHP by default, but there is some configuration need is required before using it, MAMP is one of the recommend tools for web developer to set up a web development environment, it simplify the setup process and just one button click your web server is ready to use.

9. Alfred – A replacement tools for Quick Silver on my mac, I didn’t spend much time research on the power pack , but it is an easy to use launcher.

10. 1Password – You can find 1Password quite often on some of the mac apps bundle, but it doesn’t mean it is a cheap application, in fact it is a very useful application that allow you to safe keep most of your password, license key etc.

These are the Top 10 Mac Apps for me on 2010 , how about yours ?

I been using Reeder on my iPad to read my Google Reader‘s feed and it is a great application for feed reading. Today Reeder for Mac is releasing their so call draft 1 version (download it here ) .

I must say it has been long time since I love a desktop RSS reader, but Reeder bring the wonderful iPad experience to desktop with more customization, I afraid I going to leave Feedly for Reeder.

If I need to highlight one of the important feature that I like ? that will be displaying star-ed link grouping by site, this is more for personal habit, I prefer to check out my start-ed link by site. If you still looking for a perfect RSS reader on mac , give Reeder for mac a try today.

Sparrow is one of the latest Email client for Mac that everyone is talking about, since so many people talking about it , I have just download it and give it  a try.

My first impression after install finish Sparrow and launch , this is just like Tweetie , one of the famous twitter client that bought over by Twitter.

Sparrow - The New Mail For Mac

after playing around for a while, I would say it is very minimalist style email client, but it lack of priority inbox feature is really difficult to win the web user over. P/s some of my twitter mate mention that Sparrow taking up too much CPU cycle but the Sparrow team reply that they are trying to resolve this issue.

If you looking for a simple and stylish email client and haven’t get the priority inbox feature , give it a try on Sparrow.

I just find out there are 2 mac applications promo currently running , if you are mac user, these promo should be quite useful for you.

panic-sales.jpg

First panic is having 50% for Coda, Transmit , Candybar and Unison, i think the highlight and most value worth should be Coda (USD $49.50) – an all in one web development application that include ftp, editor,svn , css edit and etc ,  another highlight should be  Transmit (USD$14.50) – a wonderful FTP application, it even support amazon S3.

macupdate-promo.jpg

Mu promo also launch their spring bundle for (USD $49.50) which consist of USD$500+ worth of applications. The highlight seem like Parellel Desktop 4 (USD$79.99 original price) and TechTool Pro 5(USD$98 original price), other then this 2 major i think Circus Ponies Notebook 3, MoneyWell , paperless and better zip seem like not bad too.

enjoy these bundle, i m going to trial coda now and see does it worth to buy or not.

So finally after few mind of puzzle , macheist finally reveal , check out the reveal show and yes i like female agent that explain the mission :P. So before the bundle , what i guessing and wish to get is eventbox, little snapper. In the end we got the eventbox for free and little snapper is the bundle and the bundle price is cheaper then last year.

Since i got solved the puzzle , i only need to pay $31 for the bundle, which is quite a good deal, in case you don’t know little snapper for it’s own is already $39 and what you purchase part of it will be donate to charity and last you might be getting espresso which cost $79. I have bought the bundle this morning before it over the first 2500 bundles, in order to get the board game – Big Bang Board Games , i didn’t wait for getting more people to refer because i think the both referrer applicaiton doesn’t looks interesting.

Get it now if you haven’t, a really good deal for mac user.

I just got webbla for free during macheist’s agent aptitude test , the first thing come in my mind when i saw the intro, this seem like littlesnapper for bookmark.

One of the highest priority task for webbla’s developer should be syncing with social bookmark site, i believe more user will be using it if this feature is include, from the answer that i saw on macheist forum, it seem like this will be an upcoming feature. So i give webbla a try , export all my bookmark and import to webbla.

webbla-listing.jpg

webbla-icons.jpg

The first thing that impress me, it take a while to import my 750+ bookmark and it seem like it will test bookmark by bookmark, this is a good feature for you to filter out those bookmark that already become broken link.It seem like it going to take a while to sync all the bookmark , maybe i will come back with a more detail review after i get my hand dirty on this.
