Notesnook vs My Hours: at a glance
What is Notesnook?
Notesnook keeps a weekly desktop patch rhythm after its October localization push.
Notesnook, the end-to-end encrypted notes app, ships desktop and mobile releases every week or two, with notes kept on its blog. October opened with localization: desktop v3.4.9 added language switching and mobile v3.4.14 translated the app into 11 languages. Since then the releases are fixes, the latest being desktop v3.4.13 on 10 November, whose GitHub notes only point to the blog.
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.
Notesnook vs My Hours: editorial side-by-side
Notesnook keeps a weekly desktop patch rhythm after its October localization push.
◆ Current state
Notesnook, the end-to-end encrypted notes app, ships desktop and mobile releases every week or two, with notes kept on its blog. October opened with localization: desktop v3.4.9 added language switching and mobile v3.4.14 translated the app into 11 languages. Since then the releases are fixes, the latest being desktop v3.4.13 on 10 November, whose GitHub notes only point to the blog.
◆ Where it's heading
The 3.4 line has settled into maintenance: sync reliability, backup visibility, search parsing and reminder scheduling. Localization was the last feature beat, and nothing since signals a new one.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 3.4.x patches on both platforms; the entries don't show what the next feature release will be.
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.
