Great news for all of our Linux, Mac and Windows hackers!
We just released the new version of Toggl Desktop (v2.5) as open source. You can find the code at Launchpad.
The regular update procedure (the new version notification dialog) remains the same, so nothing changes for our users who are not interested in the C++ code. The new version is also available on our web page.
However, the new version brought some changes for our Linux users.
Since the new Toggl Desktop uses Qt4.6 and this is not yet in all the repositories then Linux users must enter a few commands to get the necessary dependencies. Here are the steps:
Ubuntu/Kubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta sudo apt-get update launch the installer
Debian
Unfortunately Debian repositories do not include the Qt4.6 yet (except the experimental), so Debian users will have to wait until the Qt4.6 is available in their repository.
The 64-bit Linux version will be available tomorrow.
UPDATE (Linux): You can now add Toggl Desktop to your repository sources list and use the native update mechanism:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:official-toggl/ppa sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install toggl-desktop
Cheers,
Toggl Team
Um, “The requested URL /toggl-desktop-qt/toggl-desktop-2.5.0.0-1.deb was not found on this server.” after clicking on “Yes” to update.

Andrew, the link is now fixed. Thanks!
Yay! Long live Toggl!
I’ve found this service while looking for time management tools. What brought me to this was the user interface that is very beautifull in comparison to the others services.
When I came to it, I saw that it’s very simple and powerful tool. For now i’m using the free version, but i’ll sign other plan when i make a deal with a new customer. (very soon i hope).
The only thing i’d like to point is that at least the reports should have a version in brazilian portuguese, cause i send it to my clients weekly.
Thanks a lot for sharing this tool!
Success for all you guys!

Hello,
I can’t find the 64-bit Linux version for Ubuntu 9.10 ?!
Thanks !
Hi Yves. The blog post has now been updated with instructions how to get Toggl Desktop from the repositories. If you have a 64-bit Linux, you’ll automatically get the right version.
The ‘Remember Me’ function seems to be broken again on this release. Relatively minor defect, but a little annoying every time you login.
Or is it just me?
Otherwise, great product!
Cheers
Rich.
Thanks a lot jaanus ! That’s work fine but like Rich Lewis, the “remember me” function not.

We’ll investigate the ‘remember me’ issue!

Yeey!
Thanks alot guys
By the way, any plans on implementing a “All time” button/link in the Report view?
Just chiming in with the “remember me” issue — doesn’t work for me either.
Thanks.
Hi! This is really great news. now i can finally remove the “chromium –app” workaround and use the real toggl desktop
i have also created a preliminary ebuild for gentoo linux, available in my overlay at http://git.xnull.de/gitweb/?p=overlay.git;a=tree;f=app-misc/toggl-desktop
if you could manage to upload source tarballs with each release i can even commit and maintain this ebuild in the main gentoo repository
cheers!
Kudos! Great move

On Ubuntu 10.10 when I run:
sudo aptitude install toggl-desktop
I get the error:
Couldn’t find any package whose name or description matched “toggl-desktop”
I could install using sudo apt-get install toggl-desktop in ubuntu 10.10, but when I run the application only appear blank. anyone know what is the problem?
Added the ppa repository and it seems to be “broken” as apt-get update ignores the repositories.
[~]# apt-get update | grep togg
Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/official-toggl/ppa/ubuntu/ maverick/main Translation-en
Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/official-toggl/ppa/ubuntu/ maverick/main Translation-en_US
So apt-cache search toggl-desktop reveals nothing.
Indrek,
Thanks, we are aware of this issue. It will be fixed with the new release of Toggl Desktop (hopefully during this month).

Is there a workaround that will get aptitude to handle this for now (as opposed to downloading the “Toggl Desktop without offline mode” version)?
any update on that new version of the toggl desktop? i’m not always online but i am usually working, so having offline mode is fairly key. thx.
In the mean time, I was able to download the .deb file and install it direct from here: http://ppa.launchpad.net/official-toggl/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/t/toggl-desktop/
