Tick, a time-keeping service currently in closed beta, was created to keep its developers from going over budget on their own projects. Unlike other time-keeping tools that are most focused around billing for time (see 1time), Tick is designed to help its users keep track of the time they've budgeted for projects, so they don't go over budget and cut into their profits.

Tick is one of those super-elegant new Web 2.0 sites. It's simple, easy to use, and appears to have just enough features to be useful. Users can set up multiple projects, clients, and workers, and quickly tell who's worked on what, and which projects are running over their allotted time.
