Where TimerOS is headed
The board below shows what’s live, what we’re building, what’s planned and what we’re still exploring. There are no dates on it. Every release, down to the smallest fix, is written up in the Changelog.
We’d rather promise less and deliver it. Anything not yet released can still move to another stage as priorities change.
Shipped
Released and ready to use.
AI employees (beta)
Hire an AI employee into a team on the Startup or Enterprise plan. It’s in beta and may still change, so review its work before you rely on it. It gets its own cloud computer, TimerOS login and a role with its own permissions, and works the shifts you set. You can chat with it or watch its screen live. It never sees salaries, manages people or decides anything about a person. On its own computer it installs software and works with files without asking. A deploy beyond a preview, a payment, an email outside the workspace, deleting anything outside its computer, a bigger budget, a change to CI or test configuration and anything in a public repository always need a person’s approval. Some requests about AI employees’ work on internal projects without a client can be decided by the AI above them instead of a person: an AI Executive decides plans, work proposals, changes to team playbooks, new internal projects, pushes and merges, and an AI team lead decides plans and work proposals once a person turns on its “Decides its team’s requests” switch, which is on by default for an AI Executive. A merge follows strict rules: where the repository’s branch rules on GitHub still have to pass, GitHub merges exactly the approved commit once they do; otherwise the AI Executive’s approval merges it only when those rules require checks, each required check on that commit succeeded, every other check on it passed and the AI Executive states it is confident. Anything else goes to a person, a repository without branch rules included. A merge into a branch you deploy from can still publish or deploy live through your own pipeline; to keep every merge in a repository with a person, set it to “A person always decides”. The deciding AI never decides its own request or a person’s, and it is instructed to pass up anything that looks off. You see every AI decision and can undo it within 7 days, and you can take over any request that waits for an AI. A request a person rejects goes to a person each time it is filed again, and when you reject one you can also keep its repository, project or AI team with people for 7 days. It writes its own skills and memory, and you can edit them or restore an earlier version. Its hours are tracked like anyone else’s but never go into payroll. Seven roles: web design, QA, writing, SEO, graphics, a team lead for AI employees and an AI Executive (AI CTO, AI CMO or AI CPO), which leads only AI employees. It can read the repositories and sites you link to a project and open a pull request once its push is approved. On either plan an AI Executive can work inside a department; on the Enterprise plan it can instead head a department with no people.
AI assistant connector (MCP)
Connect the AI assistant you already use to your TimerOS account, on any plan. Today that’s Claude, through the Model Context Protocol, with nothing to install. Copy one address from Settings → Connections into Claude, sign in and choose what it may do: read only, or also create and update projects, tasks, subtasks and expenses, and assign your unassigned tracked hours to tasks. Bigger changes come to you as a plan before anything is saved. If you allow it when connecting, it can also assign incidents and change requests, asking you first, and work only on the ones assigned to you: add internal notes and resolve or complete them once you approve. Because it acts as you, it sees no more than you do. It can never see salaries, send invoices, log time or delete anything. Every change it makes is listed on the connection and can be undone. An owner or admin can switch it off for the whole workspace.
Personal notebook
Keep notebooks of your own inside TimerOS, as many as you like, for ideas that had nowhere else to go. Each one is an open canvas to draw on, write on and drop images onto. A notebook stays private until you share it with colleagues in your workspace, and your clients never see it.
Allocating tracked time to tasks
A task’s hours now come only from tracked time; you can no longer type them in by hand. The Performance page shows where your tracked time went by day, week, month or year, and how much of it isn’t on a task yet. You can assign that time to a task from there or from the task itself. TimerOS takes it from specific days, newest first, and shows you which days before saving. Your client sees each task’s hours, rounded, with the date they were last updated.
Incident war rooms
A live room for working through an incident or urgent change together, opened from the incident itself. It brings a shared canvas, a chat and a timeline of what happened into one place, and shows who is in the room and who is typing. Everyone who joins picks a role and a team, so it’s clear who is coordinating and who is investigating. You can invite named contacts from the affected client and let each one watch or draw. They see only the canvas and the timeline. Resolving the incident closes the room automatically; deleting it deletes the room and its history.
Project whiteboard
A shared canvas on every project, in the desktop app, the web dashboard and the client portal. Your team and your client sketch on it together, freehand or with shapes, text, sticky notes and images, and see each other’s changes live. Saving a sketch as a revision freezes it, so the client approves or rejects exactly that version, with a note. Restoring a revision brings the board back to it for everyone.
Automatic time mapping to project tasks
The timer recognises what you’re working on, right on your computer, and books the time to the matching task or subtask. When it knows the project but not the task, it suggests one for you to confirm with a click. If nothing matches clearly, the time stays as plain productive time. You can also link a project to the websites and apps you use for it, pick a task yourself from the timer bar, and move any booked time in two clicks.
Project presets
Ready-made plans for common projects such as website design, Android and iOS apps, a SaaS MVP, an online shop launch, brand identity, marketing and SEO, each with its milestones and tasks already laid out. Start from one, adjust it to the job and save it as your own.
TimerOS 1.0: public launch
The first public release: Windows desktop app, web dashboard, client portal, projects, teams, invoicing and reporting.
Chat
Built-in messaging across the desktop app, web dashboard and client portal: a conversation with every client, group chats with the client contacts you choose, team-only chats and direct messages.
Dedicated status page
status.timeros.ai: live service status, checked every minute from outside our own network, with 90 days of history and monthly uptime.
Custom portal domains
Connect your own domain to the client portal, with copy-paste DNS records and live verification.
Two-factor authentication
Authenticator codes for workspace users and client portal contacts.
Offline time tracking
The desktop timer keeps running when your connection drops and syncs back up when you reconnect.
In progress
Next to be released.
Sharper automatic time mapping
We’re improving automatic task matching so it recognises more of your work and books less time it can’t properly identify. It should also notice when you really switch tasks, so the minutes after a break no longer go to whatever you were doing before it. Matching still runs entirely on your computer and only suggests a task when it isn’t sure.
macOS desktop app
A native macOS version of the desktop app, with the same timer bar and dashboard as on Windows.
iOS mobile app
A native iOS version of the mobile dashboard, to be published on the Apple App Store.
Bulgarian & German translations
The client portal and this website already work in Bulgarian. The desktop app and web dashboard are English-only for now, and the next step is a Language setting that switches them to Bulgarian. After that comes German, across the whole product.
Social sign-in for client portals
Clients will be able to sign up and log in to the portal with Google, LinkedIn, X and more, as well as with email and password, in workspaces that let them register themselves.
Coming soon
Scoped and next in line after the work in progress.
Support knowledge base
A searchable knowledge base in the support section: guides, FAQs and troubleshooting articles your team and clients can use on their own.
SSO / SAML
Single sign-on via SAML and your identity provider, so larger organizations can centralize access and enforce their own login policies.
Audit log
A detailed record of who did what across the workspace, for compliance, security reviews and accountability.
Dedicated support
Priority support for Enterprise customers: a named contact person and faster response times.
Future
Ideas we’re exploring, with nothing promised yet.
Deeper AI integration
More AI across TimerOS: sharper activity classification, summaries and help in every app.
More languages
Once TimerOS works fully in Bulgarian and German, we plan to add more languages.
Deeper integrations
Connections to the tools you use alongside TimerOS, such as calendars, chat and accounting, in addition to the AI assistant connector that’s already live.
More features in the existing apps
The five apps (desktop, web, mobile, client portal and admin website) will keep getting new features as the product grows.
