Feature News!

With the new release of Tyme, we have integrated a few important new features that you have been asking for.

Live Activity and Home Screen Widgets Update

After stopping a timer, you can restart your most recently used timers. Up to four recently used tasks are displayed. This is a game changer, because: From now on, you can start one of your last timers without opening Tyme on your iPhone. The Live Activity is directly accessible on your lock screen.

New export feature

Until now, you could already export project timesheets in Tyme. With the new "Daily Working Hours" option, you can now also export a PDF with working times and hours worked, as well as non-working times. As an individual user or as a team. This new export option can be used, for example, as a timesheet for your employer or client. Your workload, including overtime and undertime, is clearly displayed here. As a team leader, you can get an overview of your team's workload.

Have your working hours changed - e.g. from full-time to part-time?

You can now enter changed working hours in Tyme. Your working hours history remains untouched. This means, for example, that your workload or your statistics will not be changed retrospectively. So you can adapt Tyme to changes in your working life at any time.

Project Dashboard & Recurring Budgets

Project Dashboard

We have introduced the Project Dashboard on the projects screen. And this is new: This view provides you with a summary of the progress of your project over the entire course of the project.

You can easily check the total hours incurred, start and deadline, hours used vs. planned, the status of recurring budgets, the tasks with the highest hour consumption and how much of it has already been billed or paid.

The project dashboard can be found on the projects screen in the action menu – via secondary click on a project.

Recurring Budgets

By popular request of our Tyme users we have also introduced "Recurring Budgets".

For example, if you agreed on a time frame of 20 hours per month as part of a maintenance contract, you used to have to create a fresh project with that same budget every month.

From Tyme version 2023.3 onwards, recurring budgets can now be planned for projects or tasks on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. As usual in hours or euros or another currency.

You can set a recurring budget in the "Edit" dialog of a project - via secondary click on a project.

Tyme X lexoffice

Lots of time saved – and time tracking combined with invoicing, finance and taxes. This is what the new partnership of Tyme and lexoffice can mean for you.

In combination with lexoffice you can create invoices directly from Tyme. With one click, your hours worked with projects, tasks and notes are visible on your invoice in lexoffice. Freely configurable, of course. This is quick, saves you double work and prevents calculation mistakes. These times are immediately marked as " billed " in Tyme.

Thanks to integrated online banking with automatic payment synchronization, you no longer need to compare receipts and bank statements.

Plugins

With the update 2022.11 Tyme finally supports plug-ins. Plugins allow you to import any data into Tyme or export your recorded times in any form.

This allows you to easily import your data from other time tracking systems into Tyme or directly create an invoice from your recorded times in e.g. Lexoffice, Billomat or SevDesk.

Besides the plugins we provide, you can also develop your own plugin. For more information, please visit our Github page.

An overview of all plugins can be found under Tyme 3 > Settings > Plugins.

Do you have an idea for a plugin or questions about the development? Just send us an email.

Project Report as PDF

Tyme has a new feature with the 2022.1 update! The Project Report. You can now export the status of a project as a PDF and get an overview of all the hours spent on the entire project, the revenues and planned budgets.

Find out which tasks took extra time or how many hours of the project volume can really be charged.

Create a clear and comprehensive project status for yourself, your team and your client. This way you can analyze your performance together and optimize it if necessary.

Start your day prepared

You know it: The first meeting is already on, the deadline is too tight and a missed doctor's appointment - that's how the last week went? Tyme can help you take a relaxed approach to your day.

Morning at 08:00, Siri: "Good morning darling, it's 15 degrees and sunny today. You have three appointments. The first is "lunch walk" at 12:30, you don't have a deadline this week."

That would be top? The Daily Kick-Off shortcut in our shortcut gallery announces the weather, your appointments today, and upcoming Tyme deadlines.

And to make sure running the shortcut on your Mac doesn't become another To Do on your long list, we've created an app for that - Shortery does it for you automatically!

When you add a shortcut to the Shortery app, it will automatically run when a specific event occurs, such as a time, launching an app, logging in and out of your Mac, and more.

Have fun trying it out, Shortery is free!

Shortcuts - Try it yourself!

Apple brought the Shortcuts app to the Mac with macOS Monterey and we created an integration with Tyme! So now you can run shortcuts seamlessly across all your macOS and iOS devices.

Shortcuts are a thing for life hackers and a bit nerdy, but a great way to get the most out of Tyme and optimize your workflow.

To get you started, we've built a few useful shortcuts for you to download, try out and customize. 👉🏼 Check out our Shortcuts Gallery.

Shortcut Triggers

We already showed you how you can utilize Tyme's shortcut capabilities to create connections between Tyme and other applications. With the latest release, Tyme for Mac not only offers all shortcuts that are already available for the iOS app, but additional Shortcut Triggers.

With the Shortcut Triggers in Tyme, you can execute any shortcut in the Shortcuts app.

These triggers are available in Tyme:

  • Started a timer
  • Stopped a timer
  • Reached daily working hours
  • Project archived / un-archived
  • Task completed / uncompleted

For example, you can set Do Not Disturb Mode to activate automatically when you start a timer:

Another trigger could mark a reminder as completed as soon as you complete a task in Tyme or write an email with a summary of that task. There are so many new posibilites to explore.

And as always, if you have a great idea for other actions or things that you feel are missing: Say hello.

Shortcuts

With the upcoming release of macOS Monterey this fall, the Shortcuts app will finally be available for macOS. If you don't know what Shortcuts are or what you can do with them, you might want to have a look at the Shortcuts User Guide from Apple.

Shortcuts enable you to query data from almost any app, transform it, trigger system actions, call webservices or pass the data on to other apps.

Tyme will offer various Shortcut actions on macOS and iOS: You'll be able to create, edit or delete categories, projects, tasks or time entries. Start timers, retrieve your worked hours or add notes to the active timer.

For example, you can have a task created in Tyme right from each new reminder you create in the Reminders app.

We are so excited what you will be able to build with it…

Recent Updates

At the end of last year we've had big visual updates for iOS 14 (Widgets!) and macOS Big Sur. We hope you really like the updated look under Big Sur as much as we do. The updates we've released this year so far are not that visually compelling, but a lot has changed and is optimized under the hood. We've been focusing on stability improvements and adding small little improvements here and there. There are now a lot more hints for team users when tasks are not assigned or projects are not shared with the team. Entire categories including all projects can be archived with one click now. The task search dropdown is now 10x faster when you have a large number of active tasks. There is a new hotkey that lets you edit or add a time entry without switching to Tyme. You can now import all your data from toggl. There is a new button in the task selection view: Select all/none. While this sounds boring, it really is handy, if you want to export everything, except of this one project. And a lot more …

As always: If you're missing something in Tyme or found an issue, drop us a mail: hello@tyme-app.com. Stay healthy!
