What is Timeneye?

Timeneye became Lucen Track, then turned a timer into a system of record.

The product was renamed from Timeneye to Lucen Track in May as its parent rebranded to Lucen Software, and as of August it sits behind a shared login across the Lucen suite with a redesigned interface. Underneath the rebrand, the last four months added time off tracking with approvals and holidays, global non-billable phases and tags, Enterprise custom fields across every object, and an MCP server that lets AI assistants read and write time entries. Shipping cadence is roughly twice a month with real features each time.

What is Hive?

Hive turns reporting into a planning tool: shared inputs, grouped values, per-person drill-downs.

Hive's November releases have two tracks. Bulk work got easier with undo and redo, a rebuilt Workflows library and now setting or shifting dates across many actions at once. Reporting got deeper: on November 13 dashboards gained per-person burndown drill-downs, grouped custom-field values in charts, and formulas that read monthly capacity and factors stored in Tables.

Timeneye vs Hive: editorial side-by-side

T5.0

Timeneye became Lucen Track, then turned a timer into a system of record.

◆ Current state

The product was renamed from Timeneye to Lucen Track in May as its parent rebranded to Lucen Software, and as of August it sits behind a shared login across the Lucen suite with a redesigned interface. Underneath the rebrand, the last four months added time off tracking with approvals and holidays, global non-billable phases and tags, Enterprise custom fields across every object, and an MCP server that lets AI assistants read and write time entries. Shipping cadence is roughly twice a month with real features each time.

◆ Where it's heading

Two things are happening at once. The visible one is consolidation — one login, one Entra app, one design language across Lucen products, which is what a company assembling a suite does before it starts cross-selling. The less visible one is that Track keeps absorbing the work that used to happen around the timesheet: absence requests, billability rules, business-specific fields, and now programmatic access. Each addition makes Track the place the billing data is finished rather than a feed into something else.

◆ Prediction

The unified login and the suite framing point to cross-product features next — shared reporting or a single admin surface across Lucen products — with the Enterprise plan continuing to absorb the newest capabilities as custom fields did.

6.3

Hive turns reporting into a planning tool: shared inputs, grouped values, per-person drill-downs.

◆ Current state

Hive's November releases have two tracks. Bulk work got easier with undo and redo, a rebuilt Workflows library and now setting or shifting dates across many actions at once. Reporting got deeper: on November 13 dashboards gained per-person burndown drill-downs, grouped custom-field values in charts, and formulas that read monthly capacity and factors stored in Tables.

◆ Where it's heading

Dashboards are moving from showing tracked time toward capacity planning, with shared inputs that update every report when edited. Bulk editing keeps reaching more views, and each new bulk action ships with undo.

◆ Prediction

Expect more report widgets to accept Tables inputs and drill-downs, and bulk actions extending to fields beyond dates and status.
