Changelog

New updates and improvements of our Timeular web and desktop app.

V6.3.0 – September 20th, 2023

Leave quotas, approvals and PDF exports 🎄

Just in time for planning the Christmas holidays and new year we’ve added four major upgrades to the recently introduced leave tracking functionality:

Admins can now set quotas per leave type for each employee individually in the Settings > Workspaces > Members area
Admins can now approve/deny leave requests in the Insights > Leave area
Everyone can now request a multi-day leave at once by simply choosing a start and end date
You can now export leave and work hours charts as PDF to forward it to your payroll and accountants

You think it’s too early to talk about Christmas? Just wait a few days and you’ll hear the jingling and Mariah singing: All I want for Christmas is… Timeular 😉

Fixes and improvements 🐞

Using the CMD/CTRL+arrow keys while entering a note would caused the calendar to jump forth and back in time. Although time hopping is fun, we’ve removed it anyway.
We’ve done some under the hood improvements to improve the stability and performance of loading insights.

V6.2.1 – August 28th, 2023

Summer cleanup ☀️🧹

This release has no fancy new features. Instead, we focused on solving a couple visual and non-visual issues 🐞

We tidied up the new time entry edit popup we released recently. Bigger fonts, less clutter, longer activity names, and folder names are back. How do you like it? 👀
You can’t make time go backwards, yet two users managed to get negative values in their insights. We thought they found the holy grail. Turns out it was a bug. Sad news, but we still had fun solving it 😃
Timezones are hard. Even computers get confused about it sometimes, as did our calendar integration in some rare cases. Not anymore.
Our calendar integration used to show only one calendar per Google, Apple, or Outlook provider. Now, it shows them all.
Some shared budgets were not displaying the shared icon and hence looked like non-shared budgets. Now, they all have the shared icon.
You can now use your keyboard arrow keys to navigate the Insights.
You can now sort the Leave chart by leave type and people’s name too.

And many other smaller things. If you got anything else that’s super annoying, let us know. Fall cleanup will come 🙂🍁

V6.2.0 – August 10th, 2023

Track paid leave, sick leave, and all other leave types. Plus, over- and minus-hours.

New Features 🎉

Work-time is important but so is time off. Starting today you can track that too. 🎉🏝️ Paid leave, sick leave, and many more. Simply add them like time entries in your Timeular calendar.
You and your workspace admins will be able to see reports about any leave types in the Insights section. This is just V1 and we’re looking to hear your feedback about what you need in V2.
You asked for more reports, we give you more reports. You’ll find two new views about Requested leave and Work hours. Work hours report, what? Read on to get your payroll and HR department excited 🙂
You and workspace admins can set work hours per week and days from the Workspace > Members list. Do you have a special contract like 21h with 3 days per week split 6h + 6h + 9h? No problem, you can configure it all.
Based on that and your requested leave, Timeular automatically shows you over- and minus-hours in the Insights > Work hours tab.

Fixes and improvements 🐞

To make entering a leave easy we had to re-design our time entry edit popover in the Calendar. We took the chance to make it smaller, easier to use, and less intrusive. If you have further suggestions, let us know.
Lawyers 👋 to make it easier to bill your time you can now round in 6-minute increments. If you like it, please send us future invoices by rounding down, not rounding up. Thank you! 😉
Quicktrack users can now start a time entry and add notes at the same time. Just open Quicktrack, use the arrow keys to select a list item, and hit Shift+Enter instead of Enter only. Tadaaa. Small time saver but big times.
Since the last update, empty sides on the Tracker open Quicktrack so you can track 1000 things using the Tracker. Ironically, in some cases, Quicktrack was not opening. Now it does.
Editing a budget that included a deleted folder resulted in an unsolvable error message. We’ve solved the riddle and fixed it.

V6.1.0 – July 19th, 2023

Finally, track 1000 things with your Tracker. Automatic time tracking. And much more.

New Features 🎉

Track 1,000 things with 8 sides of your Tracker. Yes, no kidding. Simply leave one or more sides of your Tracker empty. Every empty side will act like a joker side. It will open Quicktrack and let you choose what you want to track. Finally, there are no limits 😎

Not familiar with the Tracker? Visit timeular.com/tracker to learn more.

If you prefer your empty side to do nothing, disable this in Settings > Quicktrack.
Wouldn’t it be fantastic to have a tool that automatically tracks your time? Today, we’re getting very close to that. Turn on automatic context tracking in the Settings and you’ll see which apps, docs, and websites you’ve used at which time and what was in your calendar (Apple, Outlook, Google, CalDAV).

Rest assured we’re safeguarding your privacy. The data is stored solely on your local machine, so nobody else can access it. 🔐

You can show/hide the data in the Calendar view using the CMD/CTRL+G key.
Our notes field just got much smarter, suggesting you which tags to add based on similar past time entries. Is this AI? Marketing people would say yes, engineers might shrug. Regardless, it’s incredibly useful, right? 🙂

Fixes and improvements 🐞

Many of you asked for the ability to create more budgets. Now you can have up to 50 active budgets.
Our super easy and super fast way to track time with one shortcut – Quicktrack – is now smarter at suggesting what to track next, so you have to type less.
We made the Contributor role the default selection for folder invites.
Fixed a bug that made it impossible for some accounts to create a budget for all folders.
We have automated the process of verifying accounts and accepting folder invites. If you verify your account, the folder invites will be automatically accepted, and vice versa.
Logging out and in with different accounts was sometimes not possible. We fixed it.
Users who downgraded from a Team to Personal plan would get blank Insights if they previously had automatic rounding activated. Now, you have your insights back.
In protest of the relatively new but useless MacOS notification design, our start of day notification was crashing the app when clicked on. While we share their sentiment, we put an end to this rebellious behaviour.
We’ve fixed a glitch where adding the same tag to a note twice would cause a mistake in the percentage calculations in our tag chart.

V6.0.1 – July 6th, 2023

PDF pagination for more accessible exports

New Features 🎉

Some of our you have broken Guinness World Records in the category “Longest PDF document ever”. While that’s pretty cool, we have added options to export PDFs as 📄 A4 or Letter in portrait and landscape mode. You can still break records (and screens) but now it’s your choice.
As you remember, we have introduced three new workspace roles to offer you greater flexibility in managing subscriptions: owner, admin, and member. However, only starting today, you can have more than 1 owner on every subscription. Pretty handy for delegating billing management or handing over the subscription to someone else in the team.
You, can, now, invite, multiple, people, to, folders, or, a, subscription, at, once, simply, by, separating, their, emails, with, well, you’re, smart, and, know, by, now 🙂

Fixes and improvements 🐞

Mac: Our app didn’t like being closed while being used in fullscreen mode, causing a blank screen like a flash, aha. ✨ Not anymore. It leaves the stage quietly.

V6.0.0 – June 15th, 2023

One place to manage your organization + more permissions

New Features 🎉

Workspace: We have merged the Settings > Members and Settings > Plan & Billing views into one consolidated view called Settings > Workspace. This will provide you with a unified view to manage your organization.
New roles: We’ve introduced three new workspace roles to offer you greater flexibility:
- Owner: Can access and manage everything within a workspace.
- Admin: Can access and manage everything within a workspace, except the billing area. However, they can assign/unassign subscription seats.
- Member: Is part of a workspace but does not have access to its settings.
Auto-suggest: When inviting someone to a folder, members, including admins and owners of your workspace, will be auto-suggested. This eliminates the need to remember their email addresses.

Fixes and improvements 🐞

To avoid confusing workspaces, workspace-admin, and workspace-member with the terms spaces, space-admin, and space-member that you’re familiar with, we are renaming the following:
- spaces → folders
- space-admin → supervisors
- space-member → contributors
We have removed the Calendar > goals sidebar, as since the previous release every goal can be measured with a budget.
Budgets are now ordered by ongoing or completed status, followed by alphabetically order. Additionally, we added icons to show wether a budget is shared and if it is recurring.
On certain versions of Safari, activity names were displayed with invisible ink. We have rectified this issue, and now they are visible for all Safari users.

V5.9.0 – May 30th, 2023

Spaces becomes folders. Improved performance.

Fixes and improvements 🐞

Spaces are just like folders. A collection of elements that you can share with others. Hence we’re calling them like that now.
We’ve made the space/folder settings full screen so it’s easier to see your long list of members and activities.
The calendar integration could cause your computer to slow down. We’ve fixed the performance issue to make Timeular and your computer speedy again.
Budgets are now ordered alphabetically. You’d like a different order? Let us know.
We fixed a bug when editing or adding a time entry manually that prevented you to select an activity by using the arrow keys. You’re free to use your arrows now.

V5.8.7 – May 18th, 2023

More flexible budgets setting to cover all cases

New Features 🎉

This update lets you set up budgets even more precisely than before. With the ability to filter for spaces, activities, tags, and people, you can keep all your ongoing projects and budgets in check.

Fixes 🐞

Context tracking sometimes was not able to detect the active Chrome-tab on Windows. We fixed it.

V5.8.6 – May 1st, 2023

Automatic context tracking for Windows (Beta)

New Features 🎉

Automatic context tracking (Windows) – Do you have a gap in your timesheet and can’t remember what you did? Well, with automatic context tracking, you can easily fill gaps with context about apps you used at certain times. All data is only stored locally and strictly available to only you. You can activate this feature in Settings > Context Tracking. It’s still in Beta, and we’d appreciate your feedback at [email protected]

Fixes 🐞

Sometimes after an update, our auto-update function got too excited. So excited, it wanted to perform it over and over again. We’ve given it some tranquilizers.
Fridays are not always productive but still count as work hours, right? Under certain circumstances, our app begged to differ, but now we have aligned it with everyone’s common belief. Fridays now always count as work hours.
The rounding feature in our insights refused to round billable amounts correctly, e.g. 11 minutes at $45 rounded to 15 minutes were still showing as $45, not $61. We fixed it.
Now you can delete selected time entries with CTRL/CMD+Backspace again.

V5.8.3 – April 17th, 2023

Stay on track with budget alerts and recurring budgets

Improvements 🎉

Now you can add alerts to every budget. This way, you’ll never miss a budget reaching, e.g., 80% of its target or being one week away from its deadline.
Do you have budgets that repeat every week or month? Now you can add those as well. Additionally, repetition after repetition you’ll see the history for those budgets as well.

Fixed 🐞

We fixed a bug preventing the Timesheet chart to load and hence not showing how many over-hours everyone had tracked.
From now on the calendar integration hides declined events. Declined is declined and should be out of your sight, right?

V5.8.2 – April 5th, 2023

Context tracking beta, 30 day trial and bugfixes

Improvements 🎉

Context tracking macOS beta: Say goodbye to forgetting to switch between activities and inaccurate timesheets. Context tracking visualizes which apps and websites you’ve used throughout the day, so you can easily fill your timesheet. Don’t worry about privacy – all data is stored locally, and you can choose which activities will be turned to time entries.
30 Days Trial: New users can now enjoy 30-day free trial
Improved time entry edit behavior: We streamlined the editing of time entries by removing some unnecessary steps when changing their start or end time.

Fixed 🐞

We’ve fixed a bug where people who got invited to your Team in Timeular saw an error, even though the invite was successful.
We’ve fixed a bug where the timesheet showed wrong values if the “start of the weeK was set to Sunday.
Other minor fixes.

V5.7.9 – February 28th, 2023

Timesheet chart in Insights, improvement in the invite flow, and more

Improvements 🎉

Insights: Timesheet: We’re super excited to introduce our new timesheet table in the “Insights” section of Timeular.

Onboarding video slide: New users will now be welcomed with a short introduction video so they can get started with Timeular quickly and start tracking their time with ease.

Fixed 🐞

Improved calendar performance: We’ve made the calendar integration completely asynchronous, so it won’t cause any more lag in the Timeular app.

V5.7.7 – February 2nd, 2023

New space and activity creation flow and social logins

Billable time tracking

New Feature 🎉

Time is money, and starting today, you can track it💰. The new feature “billable time” enables you to track whether a time entry is billable. On top, you can configure an hourly rate for each activity, so it becomes easier to track earnings and write invoices just with the Timeular reports. The billable time feature can be turned on/off for every space individually right within the space settings. Give it a try now, but be warned, it’s quite addictive 😉

Head to the Space settings, enable billable tracking, and assign hourly rates to your activities.

Fixed 🐞

We’ve fixed a bug that made QuickTrack inaccessible after deleting a #tag.
We’ve improved usability of the calendar integration in the dark mode.

After that, show the calendar in Timeular’s weekly view by clicking on the calendar icon on the top right. Then click on a calendar event to transform it into a time entry
