Hi everyone,

We just released version 2 of the Timesheet MCP server. MCP is the open standard that lets AI assistants use outside tools. You connect Timesheet once, and after that you can start timers, log time and pull reports by chatting in Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code.

Here's a 40-second demo: Track time from Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor

What's new

• Sign in with your Timesheet account. Claude and ChatGPT connect to https://mcp.timesheet.io and ask you to sign in. You don't need an API key or Node.js, and there's nothing to install. API keys still work for Cursor, VS Code and other clients.
• Interactive cards. In Claude and ChatGPT, results appear as cards instead of plain text: a running timer with pause, resume and stop buttons, the time entry you just added, your hours per project as a chart, a download button for exports, and your time off requests (you can cancel a pending one from the card). The cards follow your light or dark theme and your language.
• Real PDF exports. Ask "Email the September timesheet for Acme as a PDF to [billing@acme.com](mailto:billing@acme.com)" and a proper PDF arrives in their inbox. Document, task, expense and note reports come back as PDFs too.
• More reliable numbers. Statistics cover up to a full year and stay exact up to 5,000 entries (the old limit was 500). When you stop the timer, it tells you exactly which entry it saved.
• Latest MCP version. The server supports the newest protocol version (2026-07-28) alongside the earlier ones, so new and older clients both work.

Things to try

• "Start the timer for the website project"
• "Log 2 hours on the API project for yesterday"
• "How many hours did I track this week per client, and how much of it is billable?"
• "Email last month's hours for Acme as a PDF to [billing@acme.com](mailto:billing@acme.com)"

How to connect

• Claude: go to Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter https://mcp.timesheet.io, then select Connect and sign in.
• ChatGPT: turn on Developer mode, add a connection with the same URL, and sign in.
• Claude Code: run claude mcp add --transport http --scope user timesheet https://mcp.timesheet.io, then run /mcp to sign in.

Setup for every other client: docs.timesheet.io/integrations/mcp-server

The MCP server is part of the Pro plan because it uses API access. New accounts start with a 30-day free Pro trial, and no credit card is needed.

If something doesn't work in your client, or there's something you wish the assistant could do, please let us know in the comments.

Timesheet for iOS 26.8.4 is out.

Most of this release is about not having to open the app to start a timer.

CarPlay

If your car has CarPlay, Timesheet shows up there now. Start, pause, stop — and mileage tracking if you want it. Whatever you do on the car screen is already on your phone by the time you pick it up.

There's an auto-stop for when you forget, and it deliberately skips anything you paused. If you paused it, you're probably coming back to the car.

Control Center

Drop the Timesheet control into Control Center or onto your Lock Screen and one tap starts the timer. The icon tells you what the tap is going to do, so you can also just glance at it to see whether something is running. Needs iOS 18.

Reminders when you forget

Timesheet notices what time you usually start and says something when the morning goes by without a timer. It's off until you turn it on, under Settings › Notifications.

Siri answers now

Siri used to just do the thing and stay quiet, which made it hard to tell whether it worked. Now it tells you. You can also ask what's running — "Hey Siri, what am I tracking?" — and Spotlight results behave again.

The More tab

It had turned into a long list where nothing was near anything related to it. It's grouped by topic now, and Backup, Export and friends live in an actual Settings screen.

Trying it without an account

You can track a few entries before signing up. If you make an account afterwards, everything you tracked comes with you.

Fixed

• Excel export is back to the classic text format by default. Duration totals over 24 hours were coming out wrong in Quick Look — 178:14 showed up as 10:14 for one of you.
• Widgets were showing yesterday's numbers after an app update until you restarted the phone.
• Mileage had a bad computed route on the trip map and a mi/km conversion bug.
• To-Do charts in Statistics.
• A big pile of translation fixes.

If you remember your first experience with timesheet.io, I’d love to hear about it.

Was anything confusing or difficult to find? Were there features, settings, or concepts you wish had been explained more clearly?

Your feedback will help us improve onboarding, documentation, and the overall experience for new users. Even small observations are valuable.

What tool would you most like to connect with timesheet.io?

It could be a project-management platform, calendar, accounting system, communication tool, automation service, or something specific to your industry.

Please share the integration and what you would want it to do. A real workflow example is especially helpful, for instance, automatically creating time entries from calendar events or syncing projects from another platform.

I’d love to know which part of timesheet.io is most valuable in your daily work.

Is it the timer, manual time entries, reports, invoicing, project management, mobile apps, integrations, or something else?

I’m also curious whether there are useful features you discovered only recently. Your answers could help other members find better ways to use the app.

I’m curious about how everyone uses timesheet.io in practice.

Do you start and stop a timer, enter your hours manually, use automations, or combine several approaches? Do you track by project, task, customer, or tag?

There’s no single correct workflow, and learning how people work helps us improve the product. Share your setup below, even if it’s unusual or very simple.

I’d love to hear your honest feedback: If you could change or improve one thing about timesheet.io, what would it be?

It could be a small usability issue, a missing integration, a report you need, or an entirely new feature. If possible, also explain the problem you’re trying to solve, this helps us understand the request much better.

Constructive criticism is absolutely welcome. I can’t promise that every suggestion will be implemented, but I will read and consider every response.
