GanttProject vs My Hours: at a glance
What is GanttProject?
GanttProject 3.4 is in its sixth beta, filling gaps users have asked about for years.
GanttProject is a Java desktop scheduler with major versions one to three years apart. The 3.4 Beta VI build in September added custom properties in filters and calculated columns, clickable links in the task table, multi-file import and a manual token path for GanttProject Cloud sign-in. A 3.3 release page dated 8 November restates 3.3's highlights (SQL-calculated columns, project-relative week numbers, native Apple Silicon) with an updated bundled Java runtime.
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.
GanttProject vs My Hours: editorial side-by-side
GanttProject 3.4 is in its sixth beta, filling gaps users have asked about for years.
◆ Current state
GanttProject is a Java desktop scheduler with major versions one to three years apart. The 3.4 Beta VI build in September added custom properties in filters and calculated columns, clickable links in the task table, multi-file import and a manual token path for GanttProject Cloud sign-in. A 3.3 release page dated 8 November restates 3.3's highlights (SQL-calculated columns, project-relative week numbers, native Apple Silicon) with an updated bundled Java runtime.
◆ Where it's heading
3.3 introduced SQL-driven calculated columns; 3.4 makes them useful with custom properties and puts more data on the chart itself. Cloud sign-in keeps getting workarounds, so the cloud tie-in from 3.0 is still part of the plan.
◆ Prediction
A 3.4 release after six betas is the obvious next step, but the project's slow cadence makes timing hard to call from the entries.
My Hours
5.0PM
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.
