IceHrm vs Ever Gauzy: at a glance
What is IceHrm?
IceHrm 36 rebuilds the interface, adds dark mode, and updates itself from the dashboard.
IceHrm had been releasing about once a year until version 36.0.0 on September 14 rebuilt it as a single-page interface with dark mode, phone layouts and a dashboard updater with backup and rollback. Two security releases have followed: 36.0.1 fixed a stored XSS and an unauthenticated include, and 36.0.2 limits manager uploads to their own reports and moves Docker images to PHP 8.3.36 for two critical unauthenticated RCEs.
What is Ever Gauzy?
Ever Gauzy links time logs to invoice lines so the same hours are never billed twice.
Ever Gauzy ships many small tags a day, most built and reviewed with AI code-review bots. November 13 alone brought seven tags: invoice lines now record the time logs they bill, with a filter that leaves out time already invoiced, chat suggests team names for new channels, and task automations react when a linked GitHub pull request or issue closes. The rest are fixes for date-only due dates, chat on Postgres and MySQL collations.

IceHrm
5.0HR
IceHrm 36 rebuilds the interface, adds dark mode, and updates itself from the dashboard.
◆ Current state
IceHrm had been releasing about once a year until version 36.0.0 on September 14 rebuilt it as a single-page interface with dark mode, phone layouts and a dashboard updater with backup and rollback. Two security releases have followed: 36.0.1 fixed a stored XSS and an unauthenticated include, and 36.0.2 limits manager uploads to their own reports and moves Docker images to PHP 8.3.36 for two critical unauthenticated RCEs.
◆ Where it's heading
After the big rebuild, IceHrm is in a hardening phase with monthly security patches. The built-in updater makes these fast follow-ups practical for self-hosters.
◆ Prediction
More point releases fixing permission checks and platform-specific issues are likely before any new feature work appears.
Ever Gauzy links time logs to invoice lines so the same hours are never billed twice.
◆ Current state
Ever Gauzy ships many small tags a day, most built and reviewed with AI code-review bots. November 13 alone brought seven tags: invoice lines now record the time logs they bill, with a filter that leaves out time already invoiced, chat suggests team names for new channels, and task automations react when a linked GitHub pull request or issue closes. The rest are fixes for date-only due dates, chat on Postgres and MySQL collations.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is tying its separate modules together: time tracking to invoicing, chat to teams, and tasks to GitHub events. The fast tag cadence means each feature arrives with several follow-up fix tags the same day.
◆ Prediction
Expect more task-automation triggers from external tools after the GitHub closed-link event, and invoicing work that uses the new billed-time links.
