v2105 is nearly done and the top row angle is larger and it's definitely more comfortable. The version in the post kind of ended up that way due to testing from positions other than really at my desk with everything really set up.

The invoices that http://invoiceable.co generates work well for me. But that tool doesn't handle the actual time tracking, just the invoices.

WorkFlowy. Super die-hard fanboy all the way elevenzes. Totally perfect combination of primary hierarchy plus tags and notes and the instantly-responding UI and search that make it pure gold. Good keyboard shortcuts as well.
