My Hours vs Notesnook: at a glance
What is My Hours?
My Hours is building out reporting and invoicing on a steady, unglamorous release cadence
My Hours alternates feature releases with fix-only patches on a roughly two-week rhythm. The 9.8.0 release added an Attendance report covering target versus actual hours, overtime, breaks and paid time off, put budget spent and remaining onto the dashboard and detailed reports, and linked invoices back to a pre-filtered report view.
What is Notesnook?
Notesnook ships fast across three platforms and points every release note at its blog
Notesnook is an end-to-end encrypted note app releasing on GitHub for Android, desktop and web, often several times a week. Every release body is the same two lines: an invitation to read what is new on the blog, and a compare link. Version numbers advance across platforms in step — Android 3.4.8 through 3.4.11 and desktop 3.4.6 through 3.4.7 in roughly the same window — so the release stream shows pace but never content.

My Hours is building out reporting and invoicing on a steady, unglamorous release cadence
◆ Current state
My Hours alternates feature releases with fix-only patches on a roughly two-week rhythm. The 9.8.0 release added an Attendance report covering target versus actual hours, overtime, breaks and paid time off, put budget spent and remaining onto the dashboard and detailed reports, and linked invoices back to a pre-filtered report view.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is thickening around reporting and billing rather than time capture itself, which is already solved. Recent releases consistently connect two existing surfaces — invoice to report, budget to dashboard — instead of adding standalone features.
◆ Prediction
Expect attendance and budget data to converge into a single manager view, since both now exist as reports but are read separately.

◆ Current state
Notesnook is an end-to-end encrypted note app releasing on GitHub for Android, desktop and web, often several times a week.

◆ Where it's heading
What is legible is release discipline rather than direction: patch versions land continuously and the platforms track each other closely, which suggests a shared core with thin per-platform shells. Anything about features would have to come from the blog these notes point at, so this feed can support statements about cadence and about nothing else.
◆ Prediction
Expect the 3.4.x line to keep advancing on both platforms at the current rate. This feed will not reveal what is in any of them unless the project starts writing its notes in the release rather than linking away from it.
