— 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.

Version 1.6.226 September 2023I 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.

Version 1.5.516 June 2023Just 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.

Version 1.5.209 March 2023This 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.

Version 1.5.120 December 2022I hope you’ve been enjoying all the new goodies in Timery 1.5! This update has a few more new things and lots of fixes!
What’s new:
• Three weeks of recent time entries in the app
• More grouping options in summary reports
• A new duration format
• A new time-adjustment interval option
• Start Saved Timer action in Shortcuts
• Custom project colors for paid Toggl accounts
• Lots of fixes
Read on for more details!
More Recent Time Entries
Timery is using Toggl’s new API and now loads three weeks of logged time entries (or up to 1,000 entries) instead of just one week, so Time Entries view now shows more days and recent-time-entries lists include more entries. Older entries, of course, are still available on Toggl.
More Grouping Options in Summary Reports
Summary reports have more grouping options and can now be grouped by projects, tasks, descriptions, tags, and clients like in Reports Overview.
When grouping by tasks and tags, Timery has to download individual time entries for the report, so because of Toggl API limitations, larger time periods can take some time to load.
New Duration Format
When using Toggl’s “improved” duration format (“0:23:42”), there’s a new option whether or not to always show hours. When off, durations under an hour will hide the hour text. For example, “0:23:42” will show as “23:42” like the SwiftUI duration formatting in widgets and Live Activities.
New Time-Adjustment Interval Option
For starting a new current time entry minutes ago and adjusting start & stop times, there’s a new time-adjustment interval option that will ask each time what the interval should be instead of always adjusting by a preset interval. Also on Apple Watch (customize the swipe actions in Timery Settings on iPhone).
Start Saved Timer Action
On iOS 16 is a new Shortcuts action Start Saved Timer that shows a list of saved timers to start with an optional start-time parameter. This new action works well combined with Find Saved Timers and Choose from List actions to start a saved timer. And it’s also an App Shortcut.
Custom Project Colors
In paid Toggl accounts, project colors can now be set to a custom color. When editing a project, you can either input a hex color or select a color from a standard iOS color picker.
See and Restore Archived Projects
If a workspace has archived projects, the projects view from the sidebar or in Settings has a new menu to show them and restore them.
Active and Inactive Tasks
When editing a project in paid Toggl accounts, inactive tasks are now listed with active tasks. And when editing a task, it can be marked as active or not. Only active tasks show when selecting projects for time entries.
Edit Workspace Names
Workspace names can now be edited either in the workspaces view from the sidebar or in Settings.
Fixes
• Reports Overview graphs have improved support for larger Dynamic Type sizes and change their layout to better fit text and bar graphs.
• Summary Reports also have improved support for larger Dynamic Type sizes and better react to window resizing.
• When editing or deleting projects, tags, & clients, saved timers and time entries throughout the app more reliably update to reflect those changes.
• A Focus filter sometimes not correctly setting reports should be fixed.
• The new Saved Timers grid has some improvements when using multiple Timery windows.
• Some potential crashes here and there are fixed.

Version 1.4.122 June 2022I hope Timery for Apple Watch has been a useful addition to your time-tracking workflow! This update brings improvements to the Apple Watch app as well as some other tweaks and fixes.
What’s new:
• Start Time Entry complication
• More supported duration formats
• Update for Always On
Read on for more details!
*Apple Watch Updates*
Start Time Entry Complication
The app now has a small Start Time Entry complication that opens the timers view in the app to start a new time entry. With this, you can start time entries from a complication without having to pick a single saved timer to start from the complication.
Duration Formats
The app now also supports decimal (0.79 h) and classic (47:06 min) duration formats. If you use either of these formats, open Timery on iPhone to sync the duration format. If it doesn’t automatically sync, go to Settings > Sync Data to Watch to manually sync data including the duration format.
Note: This changes the duration format inside the Apple Watch app but not for Current Time Entry complications. Because of how complications work with time durations, they can’t also show these formats.
Always On State
When the app is in Always On state, the Current Time Entry view’s stop button now hides seconds in the duration like the Timer app does. This allows the duration to more reliably stay updated in Always On.
Missing Complications Fix
Complications were missing from a few watch faces like Siri, Photos, and Timelapse. Now these faces have complications too!
*iPhone and iPad Updates*
Restart Latest Time Entry Keyboard Shortcut
The keyboard shortcut to restart the latest time entry is changed to ⌘-Shift-Option-L (adding the Option key) to better match the keyboard shortcuts to stop the current time entry and delete the current time entry.
Saved Timers Swipe Fix
In the Saved Timers view, the issue is fixed where the edit swipe action for a saved timer would disappear when the saved timer was swiped again while the actions were animating closed.

Version 1.3.504 April 2022Just a small update this time with some various fixes.
FIX: When a current time entry loads from iCloud, the app better handles refreshing recent time entries to ensure it’s showing the latest time tracked.
FIX: A few potential crashes are fixed including on Mac the potential crash when closing a compact window without a sidebar.

Version 1.319 October 2021This update is all about reports! New reports in the app, new reports in widgets, and updated reports in Shortcuts.
What’s new in the app:
• Timery now requires iOS 14 or higher
• See an overview of time tracked today and this week in Reports Overview
• Show project time tracked beyond today and this week in Summary Report
• Save report configurations to quickly return to them later
What’s new outside the app:
• See an overview of time tracked today and this week with the extra-large Time Tracked widget
• View time tracked up to the past year with the Summary Report widget
• See graphs of reported items in Shortcuts actions
Read on for more details!
*App Updates*
Reports Overview
See your time tracked today, this week, and this week by day with configurable filters and grouping options. Top-level items (projects, tags, etc.) and days can be selected to show time tracked for the item or day.
Summary Report
Show project summary reports of your time tracked beyond today and this week with configurable filters and parameters. Top-level items also can be selected to show time tracked for the item. There are fewer filtering and grouping options than Reports Overview because of how the Toggl API works, but it can report on up to one year of time.
Saved Report Configurations
Reports Overview and Summary Report configurations can be saved to quickly return to later. Saved configurations sync with iCloud, so they’re available on all your devices.
Keyboard Navigation
On iPadOS 15, table views in the main sections and all the Settings menus can be navigated with an external keyboard. Tab to jump between the sidebar and the main view, and then use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to move up and down the tables. Press Return to select the focused cell and perform its action.
*Widget Updates*
Time Tracked Widget Updates
The new extra-large size on iPadOS 15 shows an overview of time tracked today and this week. The large size now by default shows today and this week with options to show extended details or this week by day instead.
Summary Report Widget
Show project summary reports of your time tracked up to the past year with configurable filters.
Saved Timers Widget Update
The new extra-large size on iPadOS 15 displays up to 20 timers in regular mode and 28 in compact mode.
Filter Tasks
The Time Tracked widget has a new parameter Filter Tasks. If the project filter is on, only tasks from any filtered projects are available to select from.
Open to Reports
The Widget Opens parameter has options to open to Reports Overview and Summary Report.
Saved Timers Fix
When configuring the Saved Timers widget, an up-to-date list of available timers should more reliably be shown.
*Shortcuts Updates*
Check Total Time Tracked Updates:
• A graph of reported items if Show When Run is on
• More Time Period and grouping options
• Filter Tasks parameter
• In the default configuration (Grouping is descriptions or projects, Group Into Tasks is off, and Round Durations is off), the action will use Toggl’s summary report API which better handles longer time periods
Check Project Time Tracked Updates:
• A graph of reported items if Show When Run is on
• More Time Period and grouping options
• In the default configuration (Grouping is descriptions or projects, Group Into Tasks is off, and Round Durations is off), the action will use the summary report API
Check Timer Time Tracked Updates:
• More Time Period options
• If Round Durations is off, the action will use the summary report API
Get Time Entries Updates:
• More Time Period options
• Filter Tasks parameter

Version 1.1.411 March 2021This update brings you some app and widget additions and fixes as well as some more customization options!
What’s new:
• Edit time entry durations
• Set the default tab
• Show the current time entry in the Time Tracked widget
• Customize the header and bar colors in the Time Tracked widget
• And some fixes!
Read on for more details!
App and Shortcuts Updates:
Edit Time Entry Durations
When editing a time entry, you can now edit the duration in addition to the start and stop times. By default, editing the duration will adjust the stop time, but you can switch to adjusting the start time instead. There’s also a new settings option to change the default.
Set the Default Tab
For Timery Club members, there’s a new settings option to set the default tab to Saved Timers or Time Entries. When Timery starts up, the selected tab will be shown.
Archived Projects
For some users, archived projects were showing up in the projects lists in the app. This should be fixed now.
Copy Time Entry Details
When editing time entries in the app, the section to copy details from now shows saved timers first. If you prefer it to show recent time entries first like it previously did, there’s a new settings option to change the default.
Team Times
The Check Project Time Tracked, Check Time Logged, Check Timer Time Tracked, and Get Time Entries shortcuts will no longer automatically include tracked time from team members and will only report on your time. If you want to include times from team members, each shortcut has a new parameter to include team time.
Time Tracked Widget Updates:
Current Time Entry
There’s a new option to show the current time entry in medium and large sizes. If toggled on, the current time entry will replace the reported duration which will instead appear above the list of items. Tap it to open the app to the current time entry.
Custom Headers
There’s a new option to provide a custom heading label to appear above the reported duration. The widget will automatically append “today” or “this week” to the custom heading, but there’s an option to turn that off.
Custom Bar Colors
If the widget is not reporting on projects or filtered projects, you can customize the color of the bars. By default the bars will match the app’s theme color, but they can be changed to use one of the preset Toggl colors or a custom color.
Day Labels
For some users, if the widget is set to report on this week and is grouped by days, the times were correct but the day labels were off by a day. This should be fixed now.
More Tweaks
In the medium size, graph bars are now slightly wider so they fill the space more. And in all sizes, items with the same tracked duration will sort alphabetically.

Version 1.1.224 October 2020I hope you’ve been enjoying the new iOS 14 widgets! This update brings you some app and widget additions and fixes as well as some more customization options!
What’s new:
• Widgets should update more reliably from the app and shortcuts
• All three widgets have more appearance options including custom colors
• The Saved Timers widget has a compact mode option
• Improvements when editing time entry start and stop times
• And more!
Read on for more details!
Widget Updating
The widgets (especially the Current Time Entry widget) should update more reliably from the app and shortcuts. iOS puts limits on widget updating, so widgets still may not update immediately depending on what iOS decides. You can still pull-to-refresh in the app to try to update the widgets.
Widget Appearance Options
All three widgets have more appearance options. In addition to System, Always Light, and Always Dark, you can choose from Always Black (where the widget will always have a black background), Black in Dark Mode (where the widget will be white in light mode and black in dark mode), and Custom Color.
If you select Custom Color, two more parameters will appear: Custom Hex Color to input a hex code (with or without the ‘#’) and Text Color to select black or white for the widget’s text.
Saved Timers Compact Mode
In the Saved Timers widget, there’s an option for compact mode. This will show two more timers in the medium size and four more timers in the large size.
Editing Start and Stop Times
On iOS 14, when editing time entry start and stop times, the time picker is now above the calendar for quicker time editing.
Use Wheels to Edit Times
Also for devices on iOS 14, there’s a new option in Settings to use the old wheels to edit times instead of the new date picker.
More Goodies!
• Details in the Time Tracked widget can now also be grouped by clients.
• When editing the current time entry in the app, the stop and delete buttons take up a single row instead of two rows (unless the device is using an accessibility text size).
• As in the Saved Timers and Time Entries tabs, you can now pull-to-refresh in Settings to refresh the app’s data.
A note on the old Timery widget: If you’d like to use the old widget, it’s still part of the app and hasn’t been removed. If you don’t see it in your list of legacy widgets, try restarting your device.
