What is Harvest?

Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.

Harvest fills in the back office: time off, payroll and contractor payouts

◆ Current state

Harvest's redesign has given way to operational features. The Fall 2026 update lists Time Off with accrual rules and approvals, dark mode, a Gusto payroll integration, contractor expense reimbursements paid through Stripe, and recurring or milestone billing on Fixed Fee projects. Reimbursements are limited to eligible US contractors and USD accounts in this first release.

◆ Where it's heading

The spring repositioning around profitability is now being extended into the money flows around a project. Time off, payroll hand-off and contractor payouts take Harvest from recording hours toward the administrative work that follows them, and Fixed Fee billing ties that work back to margin reporting. The in-season digests have become the clearest view of this, since the changelog itself carries few other entries.

◆ Prediction

Harvest says more locales and currencies are coming for reimbursements, so that is the most concrete next step. Features the post lists as in beta are the other likely arrivals in the next digest.

M5.0

My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.

◆ Current state

10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.

◆ Where it's heading

My Hours keeps shipping every one to three weeks, and the work is concentrated on the billing end: invoices, profitability and approval controls. It is moving from a time tracker toward the system agencies use to bill clients.

◆ Prediction

Expect more invoicing controls, such as recurring invoices or payment tracking, given four straight releases touching billing. The September MCP server has had no follow-up in these entries.
