Lighthouse is a well known web based issue tracker environment by entp and we are going to review the best Mac client for Lighthouse called Lighthouse Keeper.
Lighthouse Keeper by M Cubed Software is a Mac desktop client for Lighthouse issue tracker system.
Lighthouse keeper has a fast learning curve since everyone who ever used an email client can easily master Lighthouse keeper workflow.
As expected Lighthouse keeper will allow you to control and setup projects, milestones, tickets and ticket bins, and for each of these elements you will be able to add, view, modify and delete objects, in particular the process of adding a ticket has been kept easy and fast by using a global hot key that will pop up a simple form.
Lighthouse keeper is designed to support multiple accounts and also lets you view all accounts in one single window, and also the search function will let you search for tickets from multiple projects in multiple accounts with one search field.
The great advantage of using such a desktop client instead of web based interface is clear when you have no internet access, all tickets are cached locally so you can still search and view your ticket offline.
You will still have the control and vision of what Lighthouse Keeper is doing by using the Activity Viewer that will show what the app is doing in the background.

I would love to win this because I already use lighthouse, and love the ability to have it cached locally and available even when I don’t have an internet connection.

This looks like an awesome tool that would really help improve productivity for my account relations managers and my va staff. And the fact that it’s for Mac makes it that much better for us!

I’d love to win this because I have a big web project coming up for a new client and that’d make the perfect tool for me to track the issues.

@sdmonty – Looks like a great product; I’m interested in it not for freelance work, actually; I’d like to implement it to track TA calls at the non-profit violence prevention state coalition I’m now working at…
