Is there a good Fogbugz client for Mac OS X?

Question

And / or: do I need one?

I recently started using FogBugz for my hobby projects, and so far I'm very pleased. After reading more about this, especially about evidence-based graphical planning, I would like to start using it for my Ph.D. (Heh, something tells me that my leaders will not open tickets for me.)

Last night I stumbled upon TimePost , which looks like a neat application that does little, but can be a real bonus for registering my time with FogBugz. I tried to look at similar applications, but came up with a little empty-handed. Are there any other FogBugz clients that you have used and recommend for Mac OS X? Or are you satisfied with the web interface?

Answer 1

The official answer is no, there is no Mac special client except Safari :)

There is a command line version that works on Linux, Windows, and Mac.

There are also plans for an iPhone version, although I don’t technically plan to announce the features before they are made, or even spec'd, so pretend I didn't say that.

Answer 2

I recently noticed this one that looks pretty nice to add:

Answer 3

I am pleased with the use of the web interface. I used Fluid to create a custom browser for it, and even got some help creating a nice icon .

Answer 4

We recently released the new Fogbugz software for Mac, maybe you are interested in trying it, http://lithoglyph.com/ladybugz/

Answer 5

I remember reading that there was a client in development, and I believe that they are still looking for beta testers. See This URL

Answer 6

The shameless plugin is here, but you can check out QuickBugz --- it is a lightweight program that integrates into your status menu. http://www.quickbugzapp.com

Answer 7

I happily used the Tickets program from Manic Wave for several weeks. It provides a very fluid experience. I use it in a pressure cooker to record competitions in my odd hours around my day job.

Tickets make it incredibly easy to create a large number of small cases and juggle them between different stages. I especially like its general appearance, which helps in breaking down tasks into subtasks.

Far from Fogbugz servers in Western Australia, the local interface search speed is much appreciated.

The user interface has many nice little macisms, such as a mouse, above the milestone and see a brief description of the clock.

Support was also very fast and comprehensive.

Answer 8

I don’t think there is another such Mac tool. I have never found the web interface too bad in person.

Answer 9

I don’t know any tool of my own, but, like Matt, I am very pleased with the web interface.

Answer 10

Beta Safari 4 and SSB are a pretty good option ...

Answer 11

I found that using a Mac browser with a screen shot and add-on for search engines is very useful. I think you say that it can be difficult to change your timetables, but it is part of web design.

Answer 12

I just released Bee , which is a Mac client for FogBugz. (He also performs your tasks from GitHub and JIRA.)

It offers several advantages over the web interface and is simple, fast and elegant. You can check it out: http://www.neat.io/bee/fogbugz.html
