What's new

Timesheets can now run a full submit → approve flow. Each period, everyone reviews their time and submits it; an approver approves it or sends it back with a note to fix. It's built for real teams: deadlines for submitting and approving with email reminders, an escalation path (miss your window and it moves to your approver, then an admin), optional auto-submit / auto-approve, and custom rules for anyone on a different cadence. External collaborators you've shared projects with can submit their time into your workspace too, and approved periods lock automatically so finished time stops moving. It's off by default — an admin turns it on under Settings → Timesheets.

When you change a rate, you now choose how it lands: to all time — past and future re-price — or only from a date forward, leaving earlier hours on the old rate. Every hour is priced at the rate that was in effect on the day it was worked, so a going-forward change never rewrites past reports or invoices.

ProjectPacer is now built for mobile. Every screen adapts to a small screen with a bottom tab bar, and AI Suggestions becomes a tap-friendly review feed — accept, edit, or swipe to dismiss each one. You can also install it like an app: open ProjectPacer in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen for a full-screen, app-like experience.

A connected AI assistant can now propose time entries for you — "you spent about an hour on the Q3 deck; want me to add that?" Proposals land in AI Suggestions in their own group (Claude suggestions, ChatGPT suggestions, …), can carry the right project and task(s), and are yours to Accept — edit first if you like — or Dismiss. Nothing is logged until you approve it. Your assistant also reads the same open items you see, so it fills gaps instead of repeating suggestions you already have. Connect one under Settings → Apps & integrations → AI assistant.

You can now connect an AI assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and other MCP-capable apps — directly to your workspace, and talk to your time tracking: "start a timer on the Acme redesign," "log my 2–3:30 meeting to Internal," "what did I track this week?" Add ProjectPacer's address in your assistant, sign in once, and pick a workspace — no keys to copy. It acts as you, only within your existing permissions, and it respects locked timesheets. Set it up — and disconnect anytime — under Settings → Apps & integrations → MCP.

ProjectPacer can now nudge you through your web browser — a running-timer reminder, things to review, the daily digest — even when the tab is closed, with no app to install. Turn it on per device under Settings → Notifications and send yourself a test to confirm it works.

Notifications are now a simple grid: each row is a kind of nudge, each column a channel — Slack, Desktop app, or Browser. Pick exactly where each one lands, in any combination. A channel that can't reach you yet shows a lock and a way to connect it, so you never switch on a nudge that quietly goes nowhere.

You can now click a time entry on an engagement to edit it in place — the same quick edit you already had in Reports and everywhere else.

Hitting Stop on a running-timer nudge in Slack now ends the entry at the point your activity trailed off — not the moment you clicked. This fixes a case where dismissing an overnight nudge could log a huge block of time you didn't work.

The AI Suggestions tab now offers two ways to review time you may have missed. List groups suggestions by type into calm, scannable cards; Timeline places them on your actual day so you can see each one in the context of what you already tracked. Switch anytime — it remembers which you last used.

Opt in to a running-timer reminder, a heads-up about time to review, a start-a-timer nudge, or an end-of-day digest — delivered as a Slack DM or a native desktop notification, on your schedule and inside your quiet hours. Everything is off until you turn it on.

Missed time is now built from real windows of activity split by the projects you were actually working in, with a confidence rating on each — so the suggestions are fewer, tighter, and easier to trust.

Connect a Slack workspace and use /pp commands to start, stop, pause, and log time right from any channel or DM — no context switch. It respects the same permissions and timesheet locks you have in the app.

With Slack connected, ProjectPacer can tell when you're active and use that to make its time suggestions more accurate. It reads only timestamps and metadata — never the contents of your messages — and disconnecting it deletes everything stored for it.

Download a complete copy of your data — your own, or (with permission) the whole workspace — whenever you want.

Delete your account or a workspace and it enters a 30-day grace window: locked but fully restorable, so an accidental deletion is recoverable, and a real one is permanent once the window closes.

Your data is backed up to encrypted off-site storage on a rolling basis, so it can be recovered if the worst happens.

ProjectPacer now spots time you may have missed — matching calendar meetings to projects and surfacing gaps for you to review. Nothing is ever logged automatically: sources only suggest, and you approve, edit, or dismiss.

Track from your Mac's menu bar — start, stop, and edit time without opening a browser tab, with your running timer ticking up in the bar. It works offline and syncs on its own when you're back online, and can feed coarse presence (when your machine wakes, idles, or locks) into suggestions if you opt in.

Connect a GitHub App to mirror issues into your tasks and map repositories to projects, so your engineering work and your time tracking stay in step.

Create an account and get started on your own, with email verification and password reset built in.

Set up engagements with budgets and billing models, resolve bill and cost rates through a full hierarchy (engagement → project → client → person → role → workspace), and see revenue, cost, effective rate, and margin on the work you track.

Invite people into a workspace, assign roles, and share specific clients or projects across workspaces. Time visibility is graded — people see and edit exactly what their role allows, no more.

Team members submit timesheets on a cadence you set; managers review and approve; and locked periods stay locked, so approved time can't quietly change underneath you.

Organize work in a spreadsheet-style table or a drag-and-drop Kanban board, with custom fields, statuses, sorting and filtering, and saved views you can return to.

See your week in a Google-Calendar-style grid, drag to create entries, and connect a calendar feed so meetings can be matched to the right project.

Log trips for reimbursement and get travel-time estimates between saved locations — with CSV and PDF export when it's time to bill or file.

Work in Pomodoro-style focus sessions, and set tracking goals with pacing so you can see whether you're on track at a glance.
