HourTracker Release Notes

v3.1.2

  • Control Center & Lock Screen: the work-timer toggle now stays in sync with the app, and shows a stopwatch instead of looking like a music control.
  • Stopping a shift from Control Center, the widget, or Shortcuts now updates the Dates list right away — no need to reopen the app.
  • Swipe a day in Dates to delete it, with a clear confirmation so nothing disappears by accident.
  • Clearer confirmation messages, plus other small fixes and refinements.

v3.1.0

  • Start and stop your work timer hands-free — from Control Center or the Lock Screen, or with a tap on the Home Screen widget.
  • Shortcuts app support
  • New Apple Watch face complication: your running timer (or today's hours) right on your watch face, kept in sync automatically.
  • One-tap recents: the start screen now offers your last few category + description combos as chips — restart a usual shift instantly.
  • A more satisfying stop: a gentle tap and a "Logged 7 h 45 min" confirmation, so you know it saved.
  • Your hours-goal bar now glows and celebrates the moment you hit 100%.
  • Invoices now fall back to your Default price when a category has no rate set, plus faster, more reliable Apple Watch sync and Finnish-localization polish throughout.

  • Work event additional details appear in the report again, with a new setting to show or hide them.
  • Reworked break (off-duty) reporting: one clear setting — don't show / description / duration / both.
