My Hours vs NocoBase: at a glance
What is My Hours?
My Hours patches XLS timesheet uploads days after adding its audit log.
10.0 introduced configurable timesheet periods with submission, reminders, validation and period-based locking. 10.1 added an account-wide audit log and bulk editing of locked logs, and 10.1.1 fixes XLS timesheet uploads on the Track page. Those changes sit on top of a summer of attendance reports, unpaid breaks, budget alerts, invoicing upgrades and a remote MCP server that lets Claude read and log time.
What is NocoBase?
NocoBase's 2.x line keeps shipping fixes while the agent stack runs in betas.
NocoBase runs two tracks: the 2.x line, now mostly fixes, and the agent-driven app-* stack its notes call NocoBase 3, released as dated betas. Beta 2026-10-15.1 discovers each coding agent's real model and options before the first message and recovers bridges after a protocol upgrade. On the 2.x side, 2.4.0-alpha.11 fixes duplicate snowflake primary keys after an app reload, gateway app-name scoping and KingBase workflow status checks, and gives AI conversations a stable prompt cache key.
My Hours vs NocoBase: editorial side-by-side
My Hours
5.0PM
My Hours patches XLS timesheet uploads days after adding its audit log.
◆ Current state
10.0 introduced configurable timesheet periods with submission, reminders, validation and period-based locking. 10.1 added an account-wide audit log and bulk editing of locked logs, and 10.1.1 fixes XLS timesheet uploads on the Track page. Those changes sit on top of a summer of attendance reports, unpaid breaks, budget alerts, invoicing upgrades and a remote MCP server that lets Claude read and log time.
◆ Where it's heading
My Hours is building the controls finance and HR teams expect from payroll-grade time data: periods, locks, approvals and a record of who changed what. Invoicing keeps getting deeper alongside that. The Claude connector remains a secondary interface, and nothing has been added to it since launch.
◆ Prediction
Expect further approval-workflow and export features built on the timesheet periods and audit log, such as payroll exports or multi-step approvals. The entries don't show where the MCP integration goes next.
NocoBase
8.8PM
NocoBase's 2.x line keeps shipping fixes while the agent stack runs in betas.
◆ Current state
NocoBase runs two tracks: the 2.x line, now mostly fixes, and the agent-driven app-* stack its notes call NocoBase 3, released as dated betas. Beta 2026-10-15.1 discovers each coding agent's real model and options before the first message and recovers bridges after a protocol upgrade. On the 2.x side, 2.4.0-alpha.11 fixes duplicate snowflake primary keys after an app reload, gateway app-name scoping and KingBase workflow status checks, and gives AI conversations a stable prompt cache key.
◆ Where it's heading
The new stack keeps filling in run governance around third-party coding agents: context between runs, credentials, where runs execute and protocol versioning. The 2.x line is in maintenance mode, though its AI employees still pick up practical changes such as cache-key affinity for gateways.
◆ Prediction
Expect more same-day betas hardening acp-bridge and agent sessions while 2.x alphas keep collecting fixes. The entries still don't say when or how 2.x users migrate.
