Updates

Everything new in wattdo, newest first. The extension updates on its own.

  1. v1.4.0

    A calmer wattdo, and what your time is worth

    A new design for the site and the extension, hourly rates with earnings, and time that adds up from your sessions.

    Tasks in the new design

    • A new, quieter design. The site and the extension share one look: less noise, denser lists, readable time. Dark theme included, and Settings can now follow your system theme.
    • Hourly rates and earnings. Give a project its rate and currency; a task can set its own amount. Every task, project and session shows what the time is worth, and the bar at the top shows what the current session has earned. Setting a project rate
    • Rates stay true to the past. Each session remembers the rate it was tracked at, so raising your rate in December doesn’t change November. When you change a rate, you can choose to apply it to past sessions.
    • Tasks grouped by due date. Overdue, Today, Upcoming and No date, with filters for today and upcoming work, and today’s time and earnings at the top.
    • A task page that shows everything. Priority, project, due date and rate in one row, a timer card with count up or count down, every session by day with edit and delete, the last 7 days and recent activity. The task page
    • A dashboard worth opening. Time tracked compared with the previous 7 or 30 days, earnings with your average per hour, hours per day, time by project, what’s due soon and recent activity. The dashboard
    • Time adds up from sessions. A task’s time is the sum of its sessions, everywhere. Time tracked before sessions existed is kept as one session, so nothing is lost.
    • Your choice on parallel timers. Starting a task while another runs asks what to do. Changed your mind after “Don’t ask again”? It’s in Settings → Preferences.
    • Bug fixes and improvements. Renaming a task right before clicking away no longer loses the change. Sign-up errors, like a taken email, are now shown. Passwords set in Settings work at sign-in even with a stray space.

    The extension updates on its own. To get it right away, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode and press Update.

  2. v1.3.11

    Your profile and where you're signed in

    Edit your name, change your password and see every device that's signed in to your account.

    • Profile settings. Set your first and last name in Settings → Profile.
    • Change your password. You stay signed in on this device; every other device is signed out right away.
    • Active sessions. See each browser and extension signed in to your account, with the version and when it was last active. Sign out one device, or all the others at once.
    • Safer sign-in. Repeated wrong passwords and recovery emails are now limited, and the sign-in form tells you how many attempts are left.
    • Bug fixes. Password recovery now always checks the emailed code. The session list refreshes after a password change.
  3. v1.3.10

    Faster sync that works offline

    We rebuilt how wattdo stores and syncs your tasks. Everything works without a connection and catches up the moment you're back.

    • Works offline. Create tasks, start timers and edit notes with no connection. Changes wait on your device and sync when you’re online again.
    • Instant across tabs and devices. Pausing a timer on the site shows up in the extension right away, and the other way round.
    • Sign out without a reload. Signing out clears your data from every open tab immediately.
    • Updates arrive sooner. The extension now checks for updates on startup and installs them as soon as no wattdo page is open.
    • Bug fixes. Your profile no longer goes missing after signing out and back in from another tab. Esc closes the command palette again.
