I’m not what you’d call a Dashboard poweruser. It’s a great app, but until now I just haven’t come across that many really useful widgets.

Sundial is a sweet one developed by the prodigious minds over at Clearwired. As with any great widget, it does one thing, and it does it really well.  Sundial allows you to log time directly to your Basecamp Plus or Premium account.

We’ve upgraded our MethodArts Basecamp account to Plus (from Free) to take advantage of time tracking (as well as file sharing, and a few other features that I think are really going to make Basecamp worth the investment ).

A few notes on using Sundial 1.0:
If you use multiple Basecamp accounts, simply create a separate instance of Sundial from the Dashboard widget bar.

You can also jump directly to your Basecamp account from the widget by double clicking on any time entry.

And most importantly, take note of the tasty little icon in your Dashboard widget bar (yeah, ok I designed it).

Speaking of Killer Apps, you should also check out Icon Builder by the Icon Factory. Makes exporting all sizes from Photoshop an absolute breeze.
