What is My Hours?

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

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.

What is Wakapi?

Wakapi tightens API key scope and fixes double-counted AI agent time.

Wakapi's 2.18 line opened with security and data fixes: API keys now authorize only /api endpoints (a breaking change), permission checks on the filtered stats endpoint were fixed, and AI agent thinking time was being counted twice, which needs summary regeneration to correct. 2.18.1 fixed slow SQLite charts and an unresponsive server during aggregation, and 2.18.2 adds a heartbeats index that can take hours to build on large tables.

My Hours vs Wakapi: editorial side-by-side

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.

W5.0

Wakapi tightens API key scope and fixes double-counted AI agent time.

◆ Current state

Wakapi's 2.18 line opened with security and data fixes: API keys now authorize only /api endpoints (a breaking change), permission checks on the filtered stats endpoint were fixed, and AI agent thinking time was being counted twice, which needs summary regeneration to correct. 2.18.1 fixed slow SQLite charts and an unresponsive server during aggregation, and 2.18.2 adds a heartbeats index that can take hours to build on large tables.

◆ Where it's heading

Identity and access remain the theme: OIDC login, OIDC-only mode, multiple API keys, the critical auth bypass fix in 2.17.6, and now narrower key scope. Performance work for large heartbeat tables is emerging alongside it. Release notes are still often bare issue numbers.

◆ Prediction

Expect 2.18.x patches addressing database migrations, given the MariaDB failure noted in 2.18.1; the notes don't show what a 2.19 would contain.
