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 SmartSuite?
SmartSuite's dashboard filters learn to exclude, as admin undo reaches deleted teams.
SmartSuite ships weekly on three fronts: AI access (a hosted MCP server and a refreshed model picker), admin governance (Managed Secrets with an audit trail, and now deleted teams that go to the Recycle Bin with their members) and dashboard depth. The latest release gives dynamic filter widgets an Is / Is Not operator that viewers can switch on the dashboard.

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.

◆ Current state
SmartSuite ships weekly on three fronts: AI access (a hosted MCP server and a refreshed model picker), admin governance (Managed Secrets with an audit trail, and now deleted teams that go to the Recycle Bin with their members) and dashboard depth. The latest release gives dynamic filter widgets an Is / Is Not operator that viewers can switch on the dashboard.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is turning into a governed backend that scripts and AI agents operate, with credential controls and recoverable access structures. Dashboard and mobile parity work runs alongside as steady catch-up, removing the need for duplicate widgets and making admin actions reversible.
◆ Prediction
Expect more audit and access controls around automated actors, such as scoping which scripts or connections can use a secret, and further dashboard filter and mobile widget releases.
