What’s New in Q4 2024: More Ways To Automate Time Tracking, Assign Multiple Approvers, and More!

As 2024 comes to a close, we’re thrilled to share our latest updates designed to make your time tracking experience smoother, more secure, and more insightful.

Here’s what’s new in Q4:

• New automation options for time tracking in the Chrome Extension, auto-tracking calendar events, and creating autotracker rules in the Windows Desktop App.
• Improved approvals: Assign multiple timesheet approvers, approve or reject in bulk, and spot overlapping time entries.
• Passkeys — a more secure and seamless way to log in.
• Expanded Audit Log capabilities to see changes to Clients, Tags, Workspace settings, and billable and labor rates.

More Ways to Automate Your Time Tracking

No clicks, no reminders, no extra burden — this is how we want to reinvent time tracking. Here’s what we launched in Q4 to enable more auto-tracking options.

Enable “Always Track This Page” in Your Extension

We spend much of our workday in our browsers. Now, you can set specific pages (like Notion, Jira, HubSpot, or other frequently used websites) to automatically enable time tracking. You decide how long you need to be on a page before tracking starts — and it stops automatically when you close the tab.

Here’s how to set it up:

1. Go to your browser extension settings.
2. Under Integrations, select “Auto track” for the pages you want.
3. Specify when auto-tracking should start.

Auto-Track Calendar Events

Calendar integrations have already helped teams save up to 80 hours per month on time tracking. Now, we’ve made it even better. With auto-track for calendar events, your events will convert into time entries automatically within 15 minutes of starting.

To enable:

1. In the Calendar view, click on the Calendar Settings dropdown.
2. Switch on “Auto-track calendar events.”

Create Auto-Tracking Rules in Windows App

Drag your cursor over any open window, and — voilà! — you’ve created an auto-tracking rule. You’ll be prompted to set details like description, project, and tags. Once set, a time entry starts automatically whenever that window is opened.

Here’s how it works:

1. Drag your cursor over an open window to create a rule.
2. Set details such as project, description, or tags.
3. Specify how much time should pass before tracking begins.

Improved Approvals

Improvements include assigning multiple timesheet approvers and approve timesheets in bulk.

We’ve made timesheet approvals more efficient:

• New flexibility: Assign multiple users or user groups as timesheet approvers to streamline the approval process for larger teams. Learn more here.
• Save time: Approve or reject multiple timesheets in a single action — no more one-by-one reviews.
• Better accuracy: Easily identify overlapping time entries for cleaner, more reliable timesheets.

Approvals are available in our Premium and Enterprise plans.

Hello, Passkeys!

We’re stepping up account security with Passkeys, a faster and more secure login option. No more password fatigue, and no more phishing worries.

🔑 To enable Passkeys:

1. Go to Account Settings.
2. Click “Enable” under “Passkey” in Additional Login Options.

Expanded Audit Log Capabilites

For better transparency into Workspace changes

We’ve expanded the Audit Log to provide even more visibility into workspace changes. In addition to Projects and Time Entries, the Audit Log now tracks:

• Clients
• Tags
• Workspace settings
• Billable and labor rate changes

These updates help admins maintain transparency and build trust with their teams.
