— New Duration Settings —

Hide Seconds
There are new duration format options to hide & show seconds in the app and widgets as well as on Apple Watch and in complications. When seconds are hidden, there’s an option to show active indicators in reports and widgets.

Widget Formats
Widgets can now also use Classic or Decimal duration formats.

Mac Menu Bar
There’s a new menu bar app option to hide the duration when no time entry is running.

— Apps —

Project Colors
For increased legibility on certain backgrounds, dark project colors are a bit lighter in dark mode.

Time Entry Suggestions
When starting or editing a time entry in the edit view, time entry suggestions appear faster. Suggestions can now toggle between recent & saved timers and just saved timers, and they also better match project tasks.

Time Entries Header Charts
In Time Entries view, touch & hold or hover with a pointer on a day header to see a list of projects and times tracked.

Current Time Entry Actions
Quickly delete the current time entry & restart the latest entry and quickly undo restarting the latest entry with new actions in the current-time-entry view’s context menu as well as with keyboard shortcuts and in the Mac menu bar.

Round When Starting
There are new duration rounding options to round the current time entry’s duration down when starting a new time entry and to start the new entry automatically at that rounded stop time.

— Widgets —

Project Color Backgrounds
Home Screen widgets have new “Appearance” configuration options to set the background to the current or filtered project color or gradient.

Default Backgrounds
Home Screen widgets now by default use a dark gray background color in dark mode to be consistent with system widgets and between iOS & macOS. If you prefer the black backgrounds, you can set them to be always black or black in dark mode.

Rounding
In widgets set to round the reported time tracked, by default they now hide seconds. There’s a new configuration option to still show them.

Note: To see new options in existing widgets, you may need to delete and re-add them.

— Live Activities —

Lock Screen Backgrounds (iOS 17.1 or higher)
There’s a new Live Activities option to set the Lock Screen background to match the system, always dark or black, project color, and more.

— Shortcuts —

Updated Actions
The “Stop Current Time Entry”, “Check Current Time Entry”, and “Continue Latest Timer” actions now end, update, or start Live Activities. And they’re also App Shortcuts.

Perform Action
There’s a new Shortcuts action “Perform Action” that opens the app and performs a current-time-entry-related action. And it performs the action in the app if Timery is already open—like when run from the Action button on iPhone.

— Mac —

Menu Bar Timers
There are new options for the menu bar app to show saved timers and recent timers in submenus or not. By default, saved timers are now shown inline instead of in a submenu.

Dock Icon
There’s a small collection of alternate icons to use in the Dock while Timery is running.

Windows
On Sonoma and Ventura, Timery will restore windows to their previous size and position when closed and reopened.

I hope you’ve been enjoying the interactive widgets on iOS 17!

This update brings interactive widgets to macOS Sonoma too! Start & stop time entries, show report details, and more right on your desktop without having to open the app.

What’s new:
• Interactive widgets on macOS Sonoma
• Saved-timer toggle buttons

In the app and widgets, timer buttons now both start & stop timers. When the timer is running, pressing the button again will stop the current time entry.

In the app, context menus and swipe actions for buttons will show actions to stop the timer and stop it minutes ago. And in widgets, if start controls are enabled, the timer can be stopped minutes ago as well.

This update should fix an issue with projects in saved timers on a future version of iOS.

Stay tuned for lots of new goodies coming later this year!

Happy time tracking!
– Joe

Just a small update with some tweaks and fixes before I start working on a big update for later this year.

• If a report includes an archived project, the report now shows the project’s name instead of its ID. And if a recent time entry includes an archived project, the project’s name will show instead of no project.

• When using the “Start Saved Timer” action in Shortcuts to start a time entry at the last stop time, the action possibly not having the correct last stop time should be fixed

• In Saved Timers view, the option-start icon in buttons sometimes getting stuck after using a keyboard shortcut that includes the Option key should be fixed.

• When editing a time entry, recent timers in the copy-details section below the start & stop times follow the option in Settings > Timers Lists for recent timers sorting.

• On devices that support Live Activities, the “Start Saved Timer” and “Start Recent Timer” actions in Shortcuts follow the option in Settings > Live Activities for new current time entries to automatically show as a Live Activity. The actions will only start a Live Activity when the option is turned on.

• Live Activities are enabled on iPads running a future version of iPadOS.

Just a small update with a new action to continue the latest timer and some tweaks and fixes.

Continue Latest Timer
There’s a new “Continue Latest Timer” action in the current-time-entry view’s context menu as well as a keyboard shortcut which when a current time entry is not running will start a new time entry at the current time with the same project, description, and tags as the latest timer. It’s similar to “Restart Latest Time Entry” but starts a new time entry instead.

Current-Time-Entry View Context Menu
In the current-time-entry view’s context menu, the actions for “Continue Latest Timer” and “Restart Latest Time Entry” have subtitles to show what the latest timer was and when the latest time entry ran.

Saved Timers View Context Menus
The new reorder actions in Saved Timers view context menus are in a submenu so they take up less space in the main menu.

Keyboard Shortcuts
The keyboard shortcut for “Copy Details” is now Command-Option-C, and the shortcut for “Restart Latest Time Entry” is now Command-Shift-Option-R (“Continue Latest Timer” is Command-Shift-Option-C).

“Export Saved Report” Fix
The possible issue that could prevent the new Shortcuts action “Export Saved Report” to export a PNG should be fixed.

—————

From Timery 1.5.3:

New Shortcuts Actions
On iOS 16, there are four new Shortcuts actions:

• Start Recent Timer
By default this action gets a list of recent timers and asks which one to start. It also accepts as input a found recent timer from the new “Find Recent Timers” action.

• Find Recent Timers
This action uses predicate filtering to return a list of recent timers. It’s like Find Time Entries, but the list of timers returned doesn’t include duplicates if the same timer were run multiple times recently, and the timers don’t include start & stop times.

• Export Saved Report
This action exports a saved reports overview or summary report as a CSV, PDF, or PNG like in the app.

• Start Live Activity
On iPhone, this action starts or updates a Live Activity when a current time entry is running or ends one when it is not. From Shortcuts. Without needing to open Timery.

More Live Activity Starting
The existing “Start Saved Timer” action and the new “Start Recent Timer” action can also start a Live Activity on iPhone without needing to open Timery.

Saved Timer Reordering
Context menus for buttons in Saved Timers view have three new actions:
• “Reorder List” puts the view into edit mode to reorder the list and automatically scrolls to show the saved timer.
• “Move Timer Up” moves the saved timer up one position in the list without having to enter edit mode.
• “Move Timer Down” moves the timer down one position.

Report Exports on Mac
On Mac, the issue that could cause the app to freeze when exporting a report should be fixed.

Time Adjustment Buttons
When editing start & stop times and durations of time entries in the edit view, the hit areas of the time-adjustment buttons are extended a bit to make them a little easier to tap.

More Project Colors
In paid Toggl accounts—which can have custom project colors—when adding or editing a project, there are two new groups of colors to choose from: old Toggl project colors and system colors.

More Improvements & Fixes
• “Recent time entries” are renamed to “recent timers” throughout the app and widgets.
• VoiceOver support is improved for edit mode in Saved Timers view and in Live Activities on iPhone.
• The Saved Timers and Time Entries items in the iPad sidebar as well as tabs in the tab bar can be secondary clicked with a trackpad (in addition to a touch & hold) to show their timers lists or menus.

• Start Live Activity
On iPhone, this action starts or updates a Live Activity when a current time entry is running or ends one when it is not. From Shortcuts. Without needing to open Timery.

More Live Activity Starting
The existing “Start Saved Timer” action and the new “Start Recent Timer” action can also start a Live Activity on iPhone without needing to open Timery.

Saved Timer Reordering
Context menus for buttons in Saved Timers view have three new actions:
• “Reorder Timers” puts the view into edit mode to reorder the list and automatically scrolls to show the saved timer.
• “Move Up” moves the saved timer up one position in the list without having to enter edit mode.
• “Move Down” moves the timer down one position.

Report Exports on Mac
On Mac, the issue that could cause the app to freeze when exporting a report should be fixed.

Time Adjustment Buttons
When editing start & stop times and durations of time entries in the edit view, the hit areas of the time-adjustment buttons are extended a bit to make them a little easier to tap.

More Project Colors
In paid Toggl accounts—which can have custom project colors—when adding or editing a project, there are two new groups of colors to choose from: old Toggl project colors and system colors. You can still provide a custom hex color or select a color from a system color picker also.

Yellow and Dark Green
The alternate app icons and theme colors for Toggl yellow and dark green are slightly brighter. If you use any of the yellow or dark green icons, you may need to reselect them in Timery Settings for the update to apply.

More Improvements & Fixes
• “Recent time entries” are renamed to “recent timers” throughout the app and widgets.
• VoiceOver support is improved for edit mode in Saved Timers view and in Live Activities on iPhone.
• The Saved Timers and Time Entries items in the iPad sidebar can be secondary clicked with a trackpad (in addition to a touch & hold) to show their respective timers lists to start a new time entry.
• Tabs in the tab bar can also be secondary clicked (in addition to a touch & hold) to show their timers lists or menus.

This update is packed with additions, tweaks, and fixes to help you track your time!

What’s new:
• Report exports
• Y-axis in graphs
• New report grouping and more filters
• Apple Watch data-loading improvements
• Improvements to time tracking around midnight
• Tab bar quick actions

Read on for more details!

Reports Updates:

Export Reports
Reports can be exported as CSV, PDF, and PNG files from a new export button and keyboard shortcuts. (PDF & PNG exports require iOS 16)

Y-Axis
Report graphs in the apps and widgets have a y-axis for improved graph context.

Split Tags Grouping
Reports and Time Tracked widgets have a new grouping option to group by split tags. Instead of a report showing “Tag 1, Tag 2” and “Tag 2, Tag 3”, it will show “Tag 1”, “Tag 2”, and “Tag 3”.

New Filters
Reports have new filters to include & exclude one or more clients and to exclude tasks.

Caching
Summary Reports now cache so returning to the same report after a short amount of time won’t need to reload it.

Apple Watch Updates:

Data Loading
• Pull down in Current Time Entry view for a new “Reload Data” button to reload projects, tags, etc.
• On watchOS 9, saved timers sync from iCloud in addition to syncing from iPhone

More
• Tap the report graph to cycle through the time-period options
• Touch & hold on the graph to open the list of saved reports
• Time entries properly display clients

Time Tracking Around Midnight Updates:

Check for Yesterday
Since time entries count for the day they start on, a time entry that started yesterday but continues into or is stopped today counts as time tracked yesterday. Timery will now check if the current time entry started yesterday and ask if you want to split it at midnight so yesterday’s time tracked counts for yesterday and today’s counts for today.

Today Reports
When the current time entry started yesterday, Reports Overview and Time Tracked widgets set to show time tracked today will instead show yesterday since the time tracked counts for yesterday.

Last Stop Time
In the early hours of the day, when starting a time entry at the last stop time, the app will look into yesterday for the last stop time when no time has been tracked yet today. And starting at the last stop time works when the latest time entry started yesterday but ended today.

General App Updates:

Tab Actions
In the tab bar on iPhone and compact iPad windows, touch & hold each tab for a related action. Saved timers opens the timers-lists view to saved timers, time entries opens to recent time entries, reports shows a menu to open a saved report, and settings shows a menu to open projects, tags, & clients and switch workspaces.

More
• Many improvements to adding & editing time entries in another workspace
• Improvements to selecting tags when editing a time entry
• Many updates to tag display throughout the apps and widgets
• Improvements to how time-entry suggestions match as you type
• Keyboard shortcuts ⌘-R to reload, ⌘-Return to update or confirm, and Escape to cancel are available in more places
• No more “Tap to Start” in the app or widgets

Settings Updates:

New Settings
• Sort time-entry suggestions
• Sort recent time entries in the timers-lists view and auto-select search
• Hide the duration in Lock Screen Live Activities

New Menus
• Hide client names or show a client icon instead of the name
• Customize report graphs and exports
• Set the time zone Toggl uses for summary reports

Shortcuts Updates:

CSV Exports
The output of the actions Check Total Time Tracked and Check Project Time Tracked now includes a CSV export of the time tracked.

Open Timery
On iOS 16, a new action Open Timery opens the app and optionally opens a specific view or saved report.
