Sunsama ships Task Priority + Auto-Sort and starts wiring Sunny into MCP — daily planning gets opinionated.
Sunsama is in steady weekly-release cadence, with the bulk of recent work concentrated in two places: the Task Priority + Auto-Sort system, which has just graduated from beta into a documented core feature, and the Sunny AI assistant, which is gaining persistent memory and MCP-callable primitives like get_task_by_id. The integration surface continues to deepen — Linear, Todoist, Jira, Asana imports now carry priority signal through into Sunsama's own model.
My Hours launches a Claude MCP connector, making AI-driven time logging a first-class workflow
My Hours is a time tracking platform with a strong invoicing and reporting core, now shipping in two distinct directions: an AI integration layer (Claude MCP connector, Sep 3) and expanded compliance-friendly tracking features (break tracking with payroll calculations, attendance reports, budget alerts). The September releases represent the most capability-dense period in the window, following a patch-heavy summer. The MCP connector runs on Keboola's Cloudflare infrastructure — zero install, OAuth-only.

The integration surface continues to deepen — Linear, Todoist, Jira, Asana imports now carry priority signal through into Sunsama's own model.
The product is moving from 'manual daily planner' toward 'opinionated planner that can be driven by Sunny or external agents.' Auto-Sort is the most telling move: Sunsama is now willing to reorder the user's day on its own based on priority and scheduled time, which is a philosophical step away from the manual drag-and-drop heritage. The MCP work signals they want Sunsama to be addressable by other AI tools — not just consumed via the Sunny UI.
Expect the next few weekly drops to expand Sunny's MCP toolset (write actions, not just reads) and to roll priority rollover into more of the integration importers. A 'Sunny plans your day' end-to-end flow that leans on the new priority + auto-sort plumbing is the natural next milestone.
My Hours is a time tracking platform with a strong invoicing and reporting core, now shipping in two distinct directions: an AI integration layer (Claude MCP connector, Sep 3) and expanded compliance-friendly tracking features (break tracking with payroll calculations, attendance reports, budget alerts). The September releases represent the most capability-dense period in the window, following a patch-heavy summer. The MCP connector runs on Keboola's Cloudflare infrastructure — zero install, OAuth-only.
The Claude MCP connector signals a clear strategic bet: My Hours wants to be the time tracking tool you interact with through AI conversation rather than through a timer UI. The infrastructure choice (remote server on Cloudflare, not a local install) removes adoption friction, making it viable for teams already using Claude. Parallel development on attendance reports and break tracking points toward a compliance and HR use case — overtime tracking, payroll-ready break records — that broadens My Hours beyond professional services billing.
The MCP integration will expand to cover write operations beyond time logging — budget tracking, invoice creation, and report export are the most obvious additions. The attendance report launched in August suggests a near-term push toward HR and payroll integrations, potentially positioning My Hours against more compliance-focused tools like Harvest or Timely for regulated industries.
