Release notes

Timeslicer 1.8.4 connects your ticket tracker, so the work it already records can be matched to the tickets your team tracks.

Integrations

• Settings has an Integrations tab. Connect Jira, Linear, GitHub or Attio.
• Timeslicer reads the tickets assigned to you, and writes nothing back to your tracker.
• Jira, Linear and Attio connect by signing in through your browser. GitHub asks for a read-only token.
• Disconnecting deletes the token and the copied tickets from your computer.

Your work, matched to tickets

• When a sitting of work belongs to a ticket you have open, the task shows that ticket in the block's detail view, with a link to it.
• A wrong match can be removed from the same place, and it stays removed.
• Your AI can now answer what you spent on a ticket this week, and which of your open tickets got no time at all.

Teams

• Each member connects their own tools. Their tickets travel with their day, so a manager can see progress per ticket without anyone updating a board by hand.

Fixes

• AI coding sessions are named correctly again. Claude and ChatGPT both changed their windows, which had left some sessions labelled with the wrong conversation.
• A damaged local database is now repaired instead of quietly tracking nothing.
• Connecting Claude to Timeslicer no longer depends on a developer flag.

Timeslicer 1.8.3 rebuilds Home around today, and moves your blocking history off our servers onto your own computer.

Home is today

• Home now shows today's timeline, with the task you are working on right now above it.
• Beside it: your top apps and websites, your time by category, and what got blocked today.
• The old Top websites and Recent blocks cards are gone. The day view covers both.
• Top apps and websites is no longer filtered, so distracting sites appear there too. It is what your day actually was.

Your day, summarized

• The Timeline's day view opens with a summary: hours worked, time by category, the apps and websites you spent longest in, and what was blocked.
• Work hours count up live while you work, instead of waiting for the day to end.
• Copy a whole day to the clipboard from the Timeline nav.

Blocking

• Block rules can now target a single section of a site instead of the whole domain, so you can block one part of a site and keep the rest.
• The blocking calendar header is the month navigation, so you can move between months directly.
• Removing a URL rule and dismissing a setup card now work. Both were dead clicks.
• Self-defined tasks are gone. The task Timeslicer infers is the task.

Your blocking history stays on this computer

• Blocking history now lives on your device instead of our servers. The last 90 days are copied across the first time you open this version.
• It no longer syncs between computers. From here each machine keeps its own history, and your lifetime blocked count is per computer.
• Your daily unblocks are per computer too.
• Click View all on any day to see everything blocked that day.

Fixes

• Windows: a crashed renderer reloads instead of leaving a white window.
• Safari: the extension no longer shows as disconnected until you restart it.
• Team: the member view follows the calendar when you page back through earlier weeks.

Timeslicer 1.8.2 signs every piece of the Windows app, so Windows Security stops blocking parts of it.

Windows

• Every component the app loads is now signed by Timeslicer Studios.
• The "Part of this app has been blocked" warning is gone.
• On machines where Windows had silently blocked those components, this update restores window tracking, blocking, and media detection.

Timeslicer 1.8.1 reads your GitHub Copilot sessions, and restores the full Timeline history.

GitHub Copilot

• Time spent with the Copilot agent in VS Code is labeled by what you asked it, the same way Claude Code and Codex sessions already were.
• Only prompts you typed are read. Instructions the agent writes to its own subagents are skipped.
• Everything it reads stays on your machine. Turn it off in Settings > System.

Your full history is back

• The Timeline showed nothing before mid-July on busy machines. The days were never lost, only hidden by a cap on how much the view loaded.

Windows

• Time in the Claude and ChatGPT desktop apps is labeled per conversation on Windows, matching the Mac.
• A ChatGPT block takes its name from the conversation you have open, not from whatever sits at the top of the sidebar.

Fixes and polish

• Ask an AI assistant what you shipped and it names every commit behind a push, not just the most recent one.
• Upgrade buttons show a loading state instead of appearing to do nothing, and no longer start a second checkout if you click twice.
• The browser extension no longer loads its code on pages that do not use it.

Timeslicer 1.8.0 rebuilds the Timeline around stretches of work, and lets you pause tracking.

The Timeline shows stretches, not fragments

• Day, 3-day and Week views group related blocks into one stretch, so a morning spent switching between the same few tools reads as one piece of work instead of thirty.
• Open a stretch to see the blocks it was made of.
• Your history reaches back the full 90 days again. On busy days, older days could drop out of view.
• The Timeline paints as soon as you open it.

Pause tracking

• Pause recording for 15 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or the rest of the day, from the menubar or the pill in the top right of the window.
• Blocking keeps running. Only recording stops, and the paused time is a plain gap everywhere, including Teams.

Claude and ChatGPT conversations

• Time in the Claude and ChatGPT desktop apps is labeled per conversation instead of collapsing into one block.
• Fixes a case where a full day of ChatGPT work could carry one unrelated conversation's name.

Code you shipped

• Timeslicer can read your local git history and link each push to the coding time it observed beforehand. If you have Timeslicer connected to an AI assistant, you can ask what you shipped and get the work behind it.
• Everything it reads stays on your machine. Turn it off in Settings > System.

Teams

• Member calendars carry the same detail as your own, and stretches show up in the team view.

Fixes and polish

• Reading or watching without touching the keyboard counts as active for up to 5 minutes, matching how time in apps is measured.
• Scrolling the LinkedIn feed or reddit listings is labeled as scrolling instead of borrowing the name of nearby work.
• A Timeline block no longer shows a name that none of the work inside it carries.
• Your daily email counts stretches of work instead of raw switches.

Timeslicer 1.7.8 sharpens your timeline and adds an optional way to cover apps that hide their text.

Window snapshots (Mac, optional)

• Some apps never expose their text, so their time is hard to label. Turn on window snapshots and Timeslicer reads the words on screen instead, using your Mac's built-in text recognition.
• Off by default. It needs the Screen Recording permission, and only apps you approve are ever read.

A sharper timeline

• Timeline rows now show each stretch of work on its own instead of pooling them into "Mixed" blocks.
• Quick website visits count after 5 seconds instead of 10.
• Time in terminals like iTerm2 is credited correctly again.
• Block details fold sub-2-minute glances so the list stays readable.
• Tasks you added yourself can now be deleted from the Timeline.

Teams

• Team owners get a Team page: member list, headline stats, and each member's calendar.

Fixes and polish

• Music and video time is tracked more accurately, especially on Windows.
• WhatsApp and other WebView apps on Windows now expose their text for labeling.
• If your sign-in expires, the app comes to the front so you can sign back in.
• Dialogs open without the laggy background blur.
