Notifications that find you, calendars that refresh, and a sturdier ProjectPacer
A nudge now reaches you once, where you are, with a button that does the job. Calendar feeds that had stopped updating refresh again. And a round of security and reliability work ahead of launch.
You used to get the same nudge on every channel at once. Now each one reaches you once: on the desktop app if it is running, otherwise Slack, otherwise your browser. Nothing is pushed while you are in ProjectPacer itself. Every nudge comes with its buttons: Stop it, Keep going, Start, Not today. The start nudge tells you when your block of work began, and Start begins the timer from then. How it works.
Some calendar feeds stopped picking up new events after the last release. They now sync again, and the Calendar page tells you if a feed ever cannot refresh and what to do about it. Cancelled or moved evening meetings also stopped lingering on the grid. Connect your calendar.
Stretches where your presence signals show you were working, but nothing says on what, are now their own suggestion type. Turn it on under Settings → AI suggestions when you want them; each one asks you for a project before it can be logged.
A round of smaller changes ahead of launch, most of them invisible:
- Sign out of other devices from Account settings, and signing out now ends the session everywhere, not just in that browser.
- Inviting people and sharing links or reports outside your workspace asks you to confirm your email address first.
- Linking a GitHub App that is already installed goes through Verify with GitHub.
- Pausing a timer never bills the pause, whichever app you stop it from.
- A submitted or approved timesheet period can no longer be written into by the calendar, travel, splits or imports.
- Importing someone who already has a ProjectPacer account sends them an invite instead of adding them outright.
- Permissions and billing tightened: nobody can edit a person above their own role, a removed member's report links stop, and the seat count on the Billing page matches the one that gates an invite.
- Personal access tokens are now made either for an AI assistant or for the ProjectPacer API, so a script can call the API with a token.
- The app polls lighter in the background. With the next desktop release, the menu bar shows only your own timer and goes quiet while your Mac is locked.
