Timeneye vs My Hours: at a glance
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 My Hours?
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.
Timeneye vs My Hours: editorial side-by-side
Timeneye
5.0PM
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.

My Hours launches a Claude MCP connector, making AI-driven time logging a first-class workflow
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
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.
◆ Prediction
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.
