What is GravityKit?
GravityKit folds every GravityView extension into one Pro plugin.
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons, mostly security fixes and small field options. The November 12 release bundles every GravityView extension and layout into one Pro plugin with Live Filters, Connected Views and an Edit Window; the November 13 log adds paid, ranked Featured Tiers, a Pages with this View menu and more security fixes. October's notable items were Visual Merge Tags, AI-built boards and AI-managed calendars.
What is Timely?
Timely's AutoSheet can now fill gaps in a draft instead of starting over.
Timely is an AI time tracking platform built around AutoSheet and its Memory desktop app. Weekly releases through October added timeline editing, Cmd+K search, away-time prompts, bulk editing, compliance views and integration-disconnect alerts. The 9 November release lets AutoSheet add entries to an existing draft for uncovered time while keeping edits, plus faster Memory updates and a run of readability fixes.
GravityKit vs Timely: editorial side-by-side
GravityKit
5.0INFRA · APIS
GravityKit folds every GravityView extension into one Pro plugin.
◆ Current state
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons, mostly security fixes and small field options. The November 12 release bundles every GravityView extension and layout into one Pro plugin with Live Filters, Connected Views and an Edit Window; the November 13 log adds paid, ranked Featured Tiers, a Pages with this View menu and more security fixes. October's notable items were Visual Merge Tags, AI-built boards and AI-managed calendars.
◆ Where it's heading
GravityKit is consolidating a sprawl of separate add-ons into fewer, larger products while steadily adding AI-assistant hooks to individual tools. Paid Featured Tiers suggest the Pro bundle is also a vehicle for listing and directory use cases.
◆ Prediction
Expect the weekly logs to continue with security fixes, and more products to follow GravityView into bundled editions.
Timely
5.0INFRA · APIS
Timely's AutoSheet can now fill gaps in a draft instead of starting over.
◆ Current state
Timely is an AI time tracking platform built around AutoSheet and its Memory desktop app. Weekly releases through October added timeline editing, Cmd+K search, away-time prompts, bulk editing, compliance views and integration-disconnect alerts. The 9 November release lets AutoSheet add entries to an existing draft for uncovered time while keeping edits, plus faster Memory updates and a run of readability fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
AutoSheet is getting more forgiving about manual edits, and the admin side keeps gaining compliance and integration-health tooling. The cadence is steady weekly polish rather than new product areas.
◆ Prediction
Expect further AutoSheet refinements around drafts and more team-lead compliance controls, the two areas recent releases keep returning to.
