What’s new
WorkSnap is built by one person, in the open, a piece at a time. This is what’s changed recently — only the parts you’d actually notice.

"With a project" and "With a client": new filter options in Reports
The project and client filters in Reports have a new option each: "With a project" and "With a client". They leave out the entries you never assigned, so the charts, totals and exports show only the work you file under your projects and clients.
A cumulative report: where your time went
Reports has a new tab, Cumulative. With the same filters as the other reports, it adds up your time by project: one table with the client, the project, the total time and each project's share of the whole, ending in a total where the shares always come to exactly 100%. Above the table sit the same two pie charts as on the Dashboard — time by client and time by project — so you can see the split and read the exact numbers in one place. Download it as CSV or XLSX for your own spreadsheets, or as a PDF that carries the two charts along, ready to send to a client.
Charts that count rounded time, if that is what you bill
On the Dashboard and in the Cumulative report you can now choose whether time is counted as it was actually tracked or as it is rounded by your rounding rules — the way it appears on your invoice. The charts and the table follow your choice, so the numbers match what you hand to a client.
A reminder for the timer you forgot to stop
Left a timer running overnight or over the weekend? Turn on "Remind me about a forgotten timer" in Settings → Defaults and choose after how many hours (8 by default). WorkSnap sends you one short email per timer run, saying only how long it has been running — never what you were working on. While a timer runs, the browser tab also shows the elapsed time, so you can see it from any other tab.
Resuming an entry always shows its timer
Pressing play on an entry in the list starts a new timer from it. If the bar at the top was set to Manual, that timer used to run out of sight; the bar now switches to Timer on its own, so you see the counter right away. The start, end and duration you had typed for a manual entry are kept for when you switch back; the description, project and billable marking are taken from the entry you resumed.

Prepaid hours
A client or project can now hold a package of hours paid for up front — say, 10 hours a month. In the Detailed report, the first hours worked each month are marked Prepaid and drop out of the amount due automatically; the rest is billed as usual. Give a client 10 hours and let one of their projects keep its own separate 5, or share the client's package across all of it — whichever matches how you actually bill.
Lighter PDF reports
PDF reports are now a small fraction of their former size — a one-page report went from about 860 KB to about 25 KB — so they are easier to email to a client, while looking exactly the same.
Help Center articles now show you how
The trickier parts of the app — undoing a deletion, entering time quickly, how rates inherit from a client to a project, prepaid hours — now come with a short, silent screen recording right where the article explains them. Nothing to click or play: it loops quietly under the text, and stays on a still frame if your system asks for reduced motion.

New section on the webpage explaining key features.
Multi-page PDF reports keep their bearings
A Detailed report that spans several pages — any report covering more than a couple of weeks — now carries the WorkSnap logo and a page number (like "2/5") on every page, not just the first. Hand a printed or forwarded report to a client or your accountant, and it stays identifiable and easy to put back in order if the pages get separated.
Exported files are named after what's inside them
Export a report filtered to a client, a project, or billable entries only, and the downloaded file's name now says so — for example worksnap-report-acme-redesign-billable-2026-08-06_14-30.pdf. A folder full of exports for different clients sorts itself out at a glance, without opening each file to check.
Fix a mistake without leaving the report
Reviewing the Detailed report before invoicing and spotting the wrong project, a missing "$" or a typo? Click the row and correct it on the spot — description, project, billable flag and both ends of the entry, in one place. The totals recalculate as soon as you save, and if your change pushes the entry outside the range or filters you are looking at, WorkSnap tells you why the row disappeared instead of leaving you wondering.
Fix a timer you started late
A running timer now shows when it started, and you can correct that time right there — the counter and the saved entry follow immediately. No more waiting until you stop the timer to fix a start you missed by ten minutes, and no switching to manual entry for work that is still in progress.
See how much of your time was billable at a glance
The Detailed report summary now breaks rounded time into billable and non-billable, each with a percentage — so "how much of this week was actually billable" is a number you can see, not one you calculate. The table also shows 50 rows per page by default instead of 10, with 5/10/25/50/100 to choose from.
Install WorkSnap from within the app
The app now shows correctly in your browser tab and offers a proper "Install app" option from the mobile menu — with the real WorkSnap icon. It's not an app-store app, but an installable web app: a home-screen icon that opens full screen, with no browser bar, no store listing and no updates to manage.
July 2026
Initial release
WorkSnap launched: a timer and manual time entry, projects and clients with billable hourly rates that inherit sensible defaults, a detailed report and a dashboard over any date range, and export to CSV, XLSX or PDF — all free, with no usage cap.
