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.

What is Velociraptor?

Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.

Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.

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.

Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.

◆ Current state

Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.

◆ Where it's heading

Since June the project has been in security mode, fixing CVEs on the current line and backporting to the previous one. Feature work shows up as new artifacts, here an Azure Monitor export, which keeps Velociraptor feeding results into the logging tools teams already use.

◆ Prediction

Expect further 0.77 patch releases and possibly another backport if new CVEs are published; the timing of a 0.78 feature release is not signaled here.
