Asana
Asana is spending its fall on governance: permissions, compliance, and admin plumbing.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Huly and My Hours — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Huly ships near-weekly builds, but its release notes say almost nothing about what changed.
Huly's GitHub releases are a steady run of s0.7.x tags, roughly one every few days through July, each published as a bare 'merge develop' note. The only titled entries are a package update and a test fix. Readers get a cadence signal, not a feature signal.
My Hours is growing from a timer into payroll-grade timesheets, with Claude as a front door.
Version 10.0 introduces configurable timesheet periods with submission, reminders, and period-based locking. It lands on top of a summer of attendance reports, unpaid breaks, budget alerts, and invoice upgrades, plus a remote MCP server that lets Claude read and log time.

The tag stream shows active development on the 0.7 line, but the releases record no user-facing changes, so the direction of the product cannot be read from them. The feed also goes quiet after 1 August, which is either a pause in tagging or a move to a different release channel.
The entries do not support a confident call on Huly's next feature; the clearest observable signal would be whether s0.7.x tagging resumes after the August gap.

The product is moving up-market into approval and compliance workflows that finance and HR care about, while keeping invoicing in-house. The MCP connector hints at conversational time entry as a secondary interface.
Expect approval and payroll-export features built on the new timesheet periods; whether the MCP integration extends beyond Claude isn't visible yet.
