Shared themes:time-tracking
Traqq vs My Hours: at a glance
What is Traqq?
Traqq's content stakes a trust-and-privacy position in the time-tracking debate.
The recent feed is uniformly editorial, working a single thesis: time tracking done ethically builds accountability without tipping into surveillance. Posts cover policy, privacy, remote teams, and what trackers actually collect. No product release notes appear.
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.
Traqq vs My Hours: editorial side-by-side
Traqq
5.0PM
Traqq's content stakes a trust-and-privacy position in the time-tracking debate.
◆ Current state
The recent feed is uniformly editorial, working a single thesis: time tracking done ethically builds accountability without tipping into surveillance. Posts cover policy, privacy, remote teams, and what trackers actually collect. No product release notes appear.
◆ Where it's heading
Traqq is differentiating on trust: privacy-friendly tracking, no-screenshot-by-default framing, and the line between tracking and surveillance. The consistent angle suggests it's marketing the product's restraint as a feature to win skeptical buyers.
◆ Prediction
Expect more trust-and-ethics content; product news would likely reinforce privacy controls or reporting that supports the no-surveillance positioning.
My Hours

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.
