2026

30.10.26: Bulk actions for threads

Keep your threads organized

Organize threads in awork AI with fewer clicks. Open Chats and click the bulk selection button next to the search bar. Then select threads to archive them or mark them as read or unread.

30.10.26: Set a default agent for new chats

Skip selecting the same agent over and over

Do you often choose the same custom agent? You can now set it as the default for new chats. Your selection applies on the AI page, in the sidebar, and in project chats. In the Agent Library, open your agent's action menu and select Set as default.

30.10.26: Delete projects more safely

Take one more look before deleting projects

Have you ever deleted something by accident? An extra confirmation now asks you to enter a generated three-word phrase to confirm the deletion of one or more projects. Admins can turn off this confirmation in the workspace settings.

30.10.26: Group and sort by custom fields

Organize work by the criteria your teams use

Bring related items together. Sort and group tasks by the values of supported custom fields in project task lists and cross-project views. You can also do this with projects in project lists. To get started, open grouping or sorting in list or table layout and select a custom field.

30.10.26: AI usage widgets for projects

Keep track of usage without checking individual threads

Keep track of a project's credit usage without checking each thread individually. Open the project's AI tab to see total usage and daily usage from linked threads and agents used on project tasks. Compare usage by agent, user, provider, or model.

Select a time period or All to include all recorded usage.

30.10.26: awork AI can now create charts

Spot trends and check individual values

Spot trends and compare data right in your conversation with the awork Agent. Open a conversation with the awork Agent and ask it for a chart, for example: "Show tracked time per project as a bar chart." Hover over line, bar, scatter, and doughnut charts to see individual values.

Download the chart as an SVG, including its title and legend, for internal or external reports.

15.10.26: Share AI threads that aren't linked to a project

Collaborate in a private AI thread

Invite teammates to a private AI thread. For example, you can ask them to review results or continue working together in a shared thread. In shared threads, users can see the full conversation history.

Choose who can read or manage the AI thread

Share it with specific people, teams, or your entire workspace. Read access lets people follow the conversation. Management access also lets them reply, change sharing permissions, rename the thread, and delete it for everyone. To reply, they also need access to the agent. Sharing the thread doesn't grant that access.

Where to find the sharing option

Open the AI thread on the AI page and select Teilen from the menu. Sharing isn't currently available in the AI chat pop-up.

15.10.26: Assign and schedule the awork Agent

Hand work directly to the awork Agent

Hand off tasks and project work directly to the awork Agent by assigning them, mentioning the agent in a comment, or using an automation. You don't need a custom agent. Projects and tasks in awork Connect aren't currently supported.

Run recurring work with your own settings

Have recurring work, such as project updates, run with saved instructions and settings. These stay the same regardless of your current thread.

15.10.26: Import Markdown into Docs

Use existing context without copying and pasting

Bring context from your .md files into awork Docs without copying and pasting each one individually. Import multiple files at once. A Doc is created for each file, with supported Markdown formatting.

Add Markdown to existing Docs

Import a .md file into a Doc you already use. Append the file's contents to the end or replace the Doc's existing content.

15.10.26: Manage task followers

Keep the right people in the loop

Keep the right teammates in the loop when tasks are handed off. Add or remove followers as responsibilities change. Future updates will continue to follow existing access permissions and notification settings.

29.09.26 – UX improvements

Find your favorites faster in all selection menus

All selection menus, such as the project selector for time tracking or the agent selector for a prompt, now have a toggle for Zuletzt verwendet, Favoriten, and Alle. This takes you straight to what you use most often, instead of making you scroll through the entire list.

Drag and drop with a clear preview

Moving items with drag and drop, from the Docs sidebar to the task list, is now more responsive, gives you a clearer preview of the result, and feels more precise thanks to improved haptics. This makes sorting easier and helps ensure everything ends up where it belongs.

29.09.26 – Simple tag management in Settings

Manage all your tags in one place

See all the tags actually used in your workspace, grouped by projects, tasks, clients, and users. Rename a tag, change its color, or delete it. The change will apply everywhere the tag is used.

Merge duplicate tags in one step

Replace one tag with another, and everything using the old tag will automatically switch over. Want to change the color of or delete multiple tags? Select them within a section and make the change all at once.

Designed to help you tidy up your tags

This first version helps you clean up the tags you already use. You can still create new tags wherever you use them: on a project, task, client, or user. We're starting simple on purpose and want to hear what you need next.

22.09.26 – awork AI: Chat and agents, ready for your AI rollout

One chat for all your questions, whether or not they're about a project

AI chat gives everyone on your team a place to ask the questions that come up every day: everyday questions just like in the general-purpose AI tool you're used to, plus answers based on real project data when it matters, including timelines, resources, time tracking, client feedback, and more. No switching tabs or manually gathering context. The answer is ready from your first prompt, powered by the LLM of your choice.

Hand recurring tasks to custom agents that already know the context

Get started with ready-made agents for common agency use cases, or build your own and share them with your team in just a few clicks. Custom agents take on complex, recurring tasks that would otherwise eat up your afternoon, so your team can focus on the most important parts of the work.

Every agent is built for agency work from the start. Use templates for client reports, briefs, and creative reviews, so you don't have to start with a blank prompt.

Start privately, then share with your team in one click

New threads are private by default, so you can think things through before sharing. Connect a thread to a project when you want the team to see it. The project's access permissions then apply automatically, down to the client level.

Any LLM you choose, fully GDPR-compliant and hosted in the EU

Choose the right LLM for every task. awork AI runs on the model you choose, with no lock-in to a single default model. Every agent stays strictly within your permissions, so work for one client never enters another client's context. And because everything is hosted entirely in the EU and is 100% GDPR-compliant, your team can roll out AI without opening up a new compliance discussion.

Full transparency into AI usage by project, team, user, or client

Keep track of AI usage by project, team, user, or client for clear, straightforward cost control and billing.

July 9, 2026 - The new awork

A cleaner design, up to 30% more compact

The entire design feels calmer, with new typography, a fresh set of icons, and stronger contrast. You can fit up to 30% more on screen, with a clearer visual hierarchy, so you can see more of your work at a glance. And alongside dark mode, there's now an additional contrast level (Standard → Hoch) for greater accessibility.

Clearer navigation, with everything where you expect it

The new main menu keeps personal content, your workspace, and projects neatly separated, so you can find what you're looking for faster. The new Floating Action Bar brings search, awork AI, quick actions, and the timer together in one fixed place, along with actions specific to the page you're on.

The new lists, with the right overview for every task

Lists in awork have been completely redesigned. You can now group and sort items in any list, and switch to table view. Previously, these options were only available in filtered views. Configure columns for each list and edit entire task hierarchies in one action. Group a project by assignee, sort by due date, and instantly see who's overloaded without leaving the project.

June 4, 2026 - A fully functional MCP server

No more missing endpoints

The awork MCP server now supports the complete awork API. AI agents connected through Claude, ChatGPT, or other MCP-compatible clients can access everything in awork, with no more workarounds for missing endpoints.

External AI agents that really understand awork

With access to awork documentation and best practices built in, your AI agent doesn't just know the API. It also knows how to use awork properly. The result: fewer errors and more reliable results on complex tasks.

Lean, fast, and ready for more

A smaller MCP footprint means fewer tokens used per session, keeping complex agent workflows efficient from start to finish. Setup takes one URL and one login. That's it.

May 20, 2026 - Copy docs as Markdown (.md)

Export content with one click

Open an awork doc, click the action menu, and select "Als Markdown kopieren". The content is copied straight to your clipboard, ready to paste into Notion, GitHub, Slack, or any other tool that supports Markdown. Headings, tables, lists, code blocks, and text formatting are all preserved.

Structure and context come along too

Each export includes a YAML header with the document name and a link back to its source in awork. Inline comments are collected in their own section at the end of the export.

April 30, 2026 - Workflows

Consistent processes for all your projects

Use workflows to define recurring processes once, including statuses, automations, and custom fields for tasks. You can then apply a workflow to whichever projects you choose. When you update the workflow, all connected projects are updated automatically.

Set up projects quickly and reliably

Assign a workflow to a project template so new projects start with the right process from the get-go. Already have a well-configured project? Save it as a workflow from the project settings and apply those settings to as many other projects as you like.

Get started with workflows

When you connect an existing project to a workflow, a setup assistant opens to help you get everything configured. In the project settings, you can see exactly which workflow is active and what it controls. You can switch workflows at any time.

Flexibility at the project level

Not every project fits a workflow exactly. That's why you can disable individual workflow automations for a project or add project-specific automations and custom fields, while keeping the project connected to the workflow.

See which projects use which process

Search, filter, and group your project list by workflow. This is especially useful when you have multiple workflows running, as it helps you spot gaps, check coverage, and stay on top of things.

April 16, 2026 - Filters with AND/OR logic

Create complex filter conditions

Combine criteria with AND/OR operators and group them in parentheses to build multi-level logic.

Use quick filters when you need results fast

Apply quick filters on any page, including Projects, Tasks, and Users. See results instantly without opening a new input form or loading a saved filter.

Save, share, and organize filters

Save filters, share them with people, teams, or your entire workspace, and keep everything organized in views. Favorite what matters and archive the rest.

April 16, 2026 - Ansichten: Create and organize what you want to see

A dedicated space for filters and saved views

Ansichten is now a dedicated area in awork. Your filters and saved views have a clear home, making them easier to find, manage, and revisit.

Default views ready to use

You'll start with three default views: New tasks, My tasks, and Private tasks. They're ready to use right away, with no setup required.

Share views with the right people

Share views with specific people, teams, or your entire workspace. Choose whether they can view or edit them. No more broadcasting to everyone.

Just the beginning

Ansichten launches with list view. More view types and cross-project views are coming soon.

April 16, 2026 - Bulk actions for projects

Update multiple projects in one step

Update several projects at once by changing their status, tags, dates, project owners, and more in a single step. Select the projects, choose an action, and confirm. Each project reports its own result, so any failures won't go unnoticed.

April 14, 2026 - Duplicate projects directly from the context menu

Duplicate any project, including its full structure

Copy the entire project structure at once, including tasks, lists, custom fields, automations, and more. Open a project's action menu and select "Projekt duplizieren". The copy is independent and isn't connected to the original.

Choose what gets copied

Members, assignees, documents, and files are included by default, but you can disable each item individually before duplicating. You can also reset task statuses so the project starts fresh.

February 10, 2026 - Project and task keys

Reference tasks unambiguously

Every project gets a short key (e.g. MKTG or BRND), and every task gets a permanent number (e.g. MKTG-42). No more "that design to-do we talked about yesterday." Instead, use clear references in Slack, Git commits, customer emails, and team calls. Task numbers never change, even when titles do, so your documentation and commit history stay valid forever.

Find things quickly and copy them even faster

Search for any task by its number (just "42" or the full "MKTG-42") and jump straight to it. Click a task key to copy its URL, or click a project key to copy the project link. It's perfect for developers committing code, account managers updating customers, or anyone who needs an audit-ready trail, without the copy-and-paste dance.

You control who can see them

Keys are generated automatically for all projects and tasks, but you decide who can see them. Workspace admins set the default (visible or hidden), and project managers can override it for individual projects. Enable project keys for your workspace whenever you're ready.

10.02.26 - Manual automation triggers

Start multi-step processes with a click

Not every workflow should run automatically. Manual triggers let you start automations exactly when you need them, for example, your QA checklist before a client review or your "Prepare invoice" flow when a project phase is complete. Set up the automation once in the project settings or template, and then any team member can trigger it directly from a task using the new button in the top-right corner.

The same power as automations, with full control

Set up manual triggers just like the automations you're used to: choose Manual as the trigger type, give it a clear name (for example, "Start approval process"), add actions (change status, assign users, trigger webhooks), and save. The automation appears in a dropdown on every task in the project, ready to run when you click it, not when an event occurs.

10.02.26 - Trusted workspaces: skip setup for familiar Connect partners

Automatically accept selected Connect invitations

If you regularly work with the same agency, client, or freelancer workspace via awork Connect, you shouldn't have to approve every single project invitation. Workspace admins can now mark specific workspaces as "trusted" to automatically accept invitations from them. Your regular partners can jump straight into projects, get assigned tasks, and get started.

Set it up once and forget about it

Go to Workspace-Einstellungen > Connect > Vertrauenswürdige Workspaces, add your partner's workspace (using its ID or URL), click Speichern, and you're done. From then on, anyone from that trusted workspace can connect with your users right away. Perfect for agencies with long-term clients, companies with regular freelancer pools, or any team that's tired of approving the same people over and over.

10.02.26 - All-day calendar entries for bookings and tasks

See your assigned tasks where you plan your day

The "Ganztags" row at the top of your calendar now shows tasks and bookings assigned to you, not just time off and calendar events. That means you can see at a glance which projects you're booked on and which tasks are waiting for you, all in the same view where you already plan meetings and block out focus time. Tasks have a solid border, while bookings are dotted, as in the timeline views. Hover over an item to see its full name. This makes it much easier to drag your actual work into free slots and build a realistic plan for the day.

Choose what's displayed

Go to your calendar settings to find three new options: "Ganztägige Aufgaben" shows your assigned tasks from active projects. "Aufgaben ohne Startdatum" adds tasks that only have a due date, displaying them as a one-day item on that date. The first toggle must be active to use this option. "Buchungen anzeigen" shows your resource bookings. Try out the settings to see what matters to you, and hide the rest.

10.02.26 - Out-of-office events now reduce your capacity

Your calendar absences count toward workload planning, if you want them to

If you block off a half-day doctor's appointment or an afternoon off in your calendar as "Out of Office," awork can now detect it and reduce your capacity in the planner's workload view accordingly. This is completely optional: go to your calendar integration settings and enable "Abwesend-Termine laden und als Abwesenheiten behandeln." Once enabled, your OOO events appear in the awork calendar and are automatically taken into account in resource planning. Leave it turned off if you prefer to manage absences another way.

Perfect for absences that don't fit the all-day pattern

Not every absence is a full vacation day. Sometimes it's a two-hour dentist appointment, a half-day conference, or "leaving early for a school event." Out-of-office events let you record these shorter absences without having to enter them separately in an HR system. Your team can see that you're unavailable, the planner adjusts your workload, and no one assigns you work when you've already left.

2025

03.11.25 - MFA, new slash commands, and Docs improvements

MFA: extra security, made simple

awork now supports multi-factor authentication (MFA), giving you an extra layer of protection when you log in. In addition to your password, you can now confirm your identity with a code from your email or an authenticator app.

Your project roadmap: clear, visual, and easy to plan

The new Gantt view visualizes your project plan as task bars with start and end dates and durations, including dependencies and a clear hierarchy of lists, parent tasks, and subtasks. Plan campaigns in sequence, move phases with drag and drop, keep predecessor and successor relationships intact, and export the schedule as a PNG or SVG for clients.

Scroll straight to what you need

Click an item in the sidebar and the view jumps straight to the selected task in the timeline. No more endless scrolling through large projects, so you can get to your next to-do faster.

Automatically adjust parent tasks

Automatically align parent task start and end dates with their subtasks. When automatic adjustment is enabled, the subtask dates determine the parent task's time frame.

28.08.25 - awork AI (Beta): your smart project assistant

Create helpful content in seconds

Create client updates, task briefs, meeting notes, or doc drafts in seconds, right where you work. awork AI uses the current project context and gets the tone and details right, so you can refine the result instead of starting from scratch. Save valuable time and stay in the flow.

Manage projects with less manual work

Skip the busywork and let awork AI do the work for you: create and assign tasks, adjust timelines, update statuses, or change task order. For bigger changes, the AI asks you to confirm first, so you stay in control. Less admin, more getting done.

Get answers in the right context

Get clear answers about statuses, deadlines, capacity, or tracked time whenever you need them, without building reports. awork AI reads your current project or task, within your permissions, and provides insights along with next steps. Get aligned in seconds, even during busy periods.

Protect sensitive data

GDPR-compliant hosting in the EU, no use of your data to train AI, and strict adherence to permissions. Admins can disable awork AI across the workspace at any time. Use AI with confidence, even with sensitive client data.

26.08.25 - Instant reports for a quick overview

Create your most important time reports in seconds

Instant reports let you skip the setup for standard time reports and select the relevant filters with just one click. Choose between "Monatliche Erfassungsübersicht", "Erfasst vs geplant", "Abrechenbarkeit pro User" and "Bereit zur Rechnungsstellung".

15.07.25 - Improved time reports: faster, clearer, more flexible

A more intuitive layout and instant results

Time reports are now generated automatically as soon as you select filters, so there's no need for an extra "Anwenden" button. Choosing filters is now much more direct and convenient.

Keep an eye on planned effort

New columns for "planned effort" make it easy to compare planned and actual time directly in the report.

Reports by task list, including export

You can now filter time reports by task list, a frequently requested feature. The associated task list is also shown in the export.

A primary task list for complete clarity

Since tasks can belong to multiple lists, you can now choose which one is the primary task list when moving a task to another list. Time entries are assigned only to this primary list, keeping your reports clear and easy to follow.

15.07.25 - Export Docs as PDFs

Work with your Docs outside awork

You can now export any Doc as a polished, shareable PDF, ideal for printing, archiving or sharing outside awork.

10.07.25 - Version history in Docs: every change saved, complete control

Every edit automatically saved as a version

With the new version history, awork automatically saves every change in Docs, whether the Doc is private, in a Space or in a project. You can keep track of your document's complete history at any time.

View and manage version history

Open the list of all saved versions, including previews, from the three-dot menu. See at a glance who changed what and when, and jump straight to the version you want.

Restore earlier versions without losing data

You can restore an older version at any time. The current version is kept, so no information is lost and you have complete flexibility when reverting changes.

Security and control for every team

Version history is available for all Doc types. Users with editing permissions (Professional plan and above) can view versions and restore earlier ones, making team collaboration seamless, even when there are lots of changes.

10.07.25 - Custom fields for projects: more flexibility, more visibility

Custom fields for every project

You can now create custom fields for all projects, just as easily as you can for tasks. All fields you create are automatically available in every project.

Built into all your workflows

Show custom fields in the project list, set them up in project templates and edit them directly in project details. This lets you tailor every project to your needs.

Filter precisely for a quick overview

You can now filter by custom fields for both projects and tasks, making it easier to get the overview you need.

19.06.25 - New Docs editor features

Text colors in Docs

You can now change text colors in Docs. Highlight important information, structure content visually or simply add a little color, right from the toolbar.

20.05.25 - Quality week: 60+ smaller updates, including improved workflows and the new Xero integration

New billing integration: Xero

awork now connects seamlessly with Xero, making billing even easier for agencies and project-driven teams, especially in the UK.

More clarity and smoother workflows

Navigation, lists and filters are now smarter and more intuitive, so you and your team can always get a clear overview and find what really matters faster.

Faster and smarter day to day

From creating tasks to tracking time, lots of small improvements make your workflows smoother, remove annoying obstacles and save you valuable time with smart shortcuts.

More efficiency for teams

Collaboration is now even easier: improved permission management, optimized document handling and tidier context menus help your team focus on what matters.

Reliability and data protection

Numerous small improvements help keep awork a secure and reliable workspace for your team, with a strong focus on data protection and compliance.

13.05.25 - Calendar and time tracking come together, new bulk editing options, bookings without a project, and timeline updates

Calendar and time tracking now combined in one view

Tracking time in awork has never been easier. By bringing time tracking and the calendar together, you can now see all your bookings and events in one place, right in the calendar.

• See time entries directly in the calendar: Keep track of everything at a glance. Your time bookings now appear directly in the calendar. Just click the time badge above the relevant day or week to get a quick overview of all entries for that period.
• Create time entries directly from calendar events: Track your time even faster by using the context menu on synced calendar events to create a time entry directly from them. The event title is automatically added as a note, and you can adjust the duration, task or project at any time.
• Create entries or tasks with drag and drop: Simply drag your mouse across the calendar to open the Quick Creator. Then choose whether you want to create a time entry or a task. Tasks are automatically scheduled, just like when you move them from the task list.
• View other users' time entries: Want to see what your team is working on? Select the users you want to see their time entries and calendar events alongside your own. With the right permissions, you can even track time for other people.

Bulk editing for subtasks

You can now select multiple subtasks, individually or all under one parent task, and edit them together or assign them to a new parent task with a single click. This makes organizing and updating your projects faster and easier than ever.

Book capacity in the planner without a project

Want to block out time before a project exists? You can now book capacity in the planner without assigning it to a project, ideal for early planning, placeholders or internal hour services.

Improved UX for project and task timelines

A small but useful change: project and task timelines outside the planner now also use the smoother timeline technology introduced in the planner update. It's a small upgrade with a big impact.

09.05.2025 - awork Docs: Combine documentation and project work in one tool

Project-related documentation

With awork Docs, you can create project-related content such as briefs, meeting notes, or client updates right in your project and link it to tasks whenever needed. This keeps your knowledge flowing, gives everyone on your team (and your clients) access to the same information, and means you never have to switch tools.

Workspace-wide documentation

As well as creating docs for projects, you can create central, workspace-wide documentation, for example, design guidelines, onboarding guides, or technical instructions. A flexible folder structure keeps everything easy to find, up to date, and well organized.

Collaboration, formatting, sharing, and much more

Work on content together in real time, manage access permissions, and create documents that meet your needs with the versatile editor. Your Docs can grow with you, staying structured, secure, and connected to your work.

28.03.2025 - The new planner: redesigned for reliable plans and happy clients

Clear layout for project and user overviews

The planner's split-screen view has been removed. Instead, you can now switch easily between separate project and user overviews. This makes it easier to keep track of your projects and focus on the relevant information when planning capacity.

New project overview for greater control and flexibility

Improved filtering, sorting, and grouping options make everything clearer and help you keep track of all relevant projects. Customize the project sidebar to create the view that helps you work most productively, with complete flexibility and no loss of overview.

Improved project navigation for switching between planning levels

A new navigation menu makes it easier to navigate into and out of projects while planning. Click a project in the planner timeline to open the new navigation. From there, you can go directly to the task timeline or project users for detailed planning, or open the full project outside the planner.

Planner checklist to spot risks early and take action right away

The new customizable checklist highlights potential issues in your project plan, such as upcoming deadlines, delayed tasks, or users who are over or under capacity. It's ideal for weekly planning meetings! You can generate the checklist at any time based on your active project view, including its filters, and the selected time period. Click an item to go straight to the relevant issue.

Select multiple tasks for efficient planning and rescheduling

The new multi-select feature in the planner's project timeline makes it easier to plan and reschedule tasks. Turn on multi-select by clicking the cursor icon at the bottom of the screen. Then select multiple tasks to move or edit them at the same time.

Project editing options in the planner timeline

You can now edit projects directly in the planner timeline to adjust your project portfolio more easily. Move projects with drag and drop or adjust their duration directly in the project overview.

User availability for quick task assignments

When assigning a task to a user, you can check their availability right away to ensure an efficient workload, without having to open the planner.

Filter by user tags when assigning tasks

When assigning tasks, you can now filter by tags such as skills or qualifications to quickly find the right users for each task.

Experimental AI to resolve overcapacity

When users are over capacity, AI can automatically reschedule the relevant tasks. This experimental feature is primarily designed for smaller workloads. Open the user timeline, select the tasks you want to reschedule, and click "Autofix". Within seconds, the tasks will be automatically moved to balance workloads while taking deadlines and capacity into account. You can also use a prompt to give awork clear instructions for rescheduling.

13.02.25 - Retainer budgets, improved budget notification automation, and new settings for greater budget accuracy

Retainer budgets for projects

Retainer budgets in awork let you set a recurring monthly budget for a project instead of using a one-time fixed budget. You can define a custom retainer period and decide whether, and how, unused or exceeded hours in one month affect the next month's budget.

Retainer view in the project "Zeiten" tab

If a project has a retainer budget, you'll find the new retainer view in the project's "Zeiten" tab, alongside the general project KPIs. The new retainer charts give you a clear overview of the current and previous months of the project. If you've enabled the option to carry over unused and/or exceeded hours, you can also see how the previous month affects your available budget for the current month.

Improved automation for budget notifications

Automation triggers are now even smarter. In addition to notifications when a project budget has been fully used, you can now set up notifications based on specific budget values, whether a percentage, tracked hours, or days.

Precise budget tracking with billable time only

You can now choose what counts toward your project budgets: all tracked hours or billable hours only.

Customizable budgets in project templates

Templates now support flexible budget values, so you can create or change budgets within a template.

30.01.25 - Desktop tabs and a new release feed

Tabs in the desktop app

The awork desktop app now supports opening and working with multiple tabs. This also includes new shortcuts to make the awork app even easier to use.

The new release feed in awork

There's a brand-new release feed right in awork! You can now easily follow feature updates and improvements in the app. You'll get notified when changes are made and find all the information you need to get started with the latest updates right away.

2024

Time-Fries release 🍟 - 29.11.2024

Bar charts in the "Zeiten" view

The bar charts show how much time was tracked across projects, users, or clients over time, and how it was spent. You can find them in the "Zeiten" view in a project, client, or user's "Zeiten" tab. The charts let you group time flexibly by billability, activities, users, or projects, and choose a time range in the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly view.

Line chart for the "Erfasst vs. geplant" view

The line charts visualize project budget progress in relation to tracked work hours. They're available in the "Erfasst vs. geplant" view in every project. They're especially useful for spotting trends or deviations early so you can respond accordingly. The view shows progress over the past six months, and color changes when budgets are exceeded help you effectively monitor your projects' financial limits.

Improved search across your workspace

Search in awork has been significantly improved to help you find information faster and more efficiently. The expanded view now shows more results at once, and search covers comments, notes, project descriptions, files, and task lists. Detailed search results, supported by tooltips, make it easier to find specific content. With up to 40 results displayed and new navigation options, such as using the "Tab" key to switch between sections and opening results directly in a new tab, search in awork is now even more intuitive and user-friendly.

New list view for time reports

The "Zeitauswertungen" tab has switched from a tile view to a list view for a clearer overview. Options to sort by name and creation date, as well as a search function, are now available in the top-right corner to help you find specific reports. An action menu next to each report also lets you share reports directly from the list view without opening them first.

Hide comments and task lists specifically from external Connect users

In projects shared with external users through awork Connect, you can now hide both comments and task lists from them. Before sending a comment, you can hide it from external users. A red eye icon in the comment field indicates that the comment isn't visible to them. Task lists work similarly: use the special action menu next to a list to hide it completely from external users. This keeps internal information protected while ensuring external users only see relevant content.

New MOCO integration

The new MOCO integration seamlessly transfers project details and time entries between awork and MOCO. You can create projects directly in MOCO and then automatically sync all relevant information and time entries to awork, reducing the need for manual data reconciliation.

New easyJOB integration

The integration between easyJOB and awork syncs projects and tasks between the two systems. This improves project management and automates time tracking, helping your team work more productively.

Holiday Spritz Release 🍹 - 14.10.2024

Regional holidays in the planner

Regional holidays can be automatically included in the planner and marked as "abwesend". These holidays are based on the regions assigned to users. An admin sets these regions, which then become available to everyone in the account settings.

Workspace-wide absences

Admins can define workspace-wide absences. These absences can apply to all users or to specific regions, and are automatically taken into account in the Workload view.

Date range selection in the Workload view

The new date range selector lets you view a team's or user's available capacity for a specific period. Once you select a date range in the timeline, you'll see both the individual capacity of each team member and the team's total capacity. The "Nach Verfügbarkeit sortieren" sorting option lets you sort users by their available capacity, with the user who has the most available capacity listed first.

Hide completed tasks

The "Fertig sichtbar" button lets you show or hide completed tasks in the Workload view with a single click.

Improved view for large lists

Lists in awork dynamically adjust to your screen size and use all available width, so you can view them optimally without adjusting the zoom. The view switches between wide-screen mode and compact mode depending on the size of your browser window.

Improved navigation

A new forward button makes it easier to navigate through the views you've recently opened in awork. Your navigation history is saved separately for each window or tab, and remains visible even when the side menu is collapsed.

UI improvements

The awork user interface has been improved. Contrast in the timeline has been increased, and names in long entries now scroll more smoothly. Week divider lines have been added to the timeline header to make it easier to read.

Remember the last tab in project selection

When you create a project template, the last tab you selected is saved and automatically opened the next time you use a template.

Recent activity for Connect users

In the Connect tab of the workspace settings, admins can now see when a user was last active in the relevant workspace in the new "Letzte Aktivitäten" column.

Support & Hilfe button

The "Support & Hilfe" button is now in the top-right corner of every workspace, giving you quick access to important resources. When you click it, a pop-up opens with two sections. On the left, you'll find ways to contact support, access to the awork Community, links to relevant Help Center documentation, and the release history. On the right, you'll see suggested Help Center articles tailored to the area of awork you're currently using.

Custom Ice Cream Release 🍦 - 23.08.2024

Customize your tasks with custom fields

In awork, you can create custom fields to add extra details directly to project tasks. This feature lets you use details consistently and flexibly, including text, numbers, checkboxes, selections, dates, or users. Custom fields are created workspace-wide and can be enabled or disabled in projects as needed. You can display them as columns in task lists and use them as filter criteria. Custom fields are available only on the Business or Enterprise plan. The Business plan supports up to 12 fields, while the Enterprise plan has no limit.

Sort the project overview

Sort projects by end date, start date, name, customer, budget, task progress, time progress, or status.

See all external users in one overview

The new C*onnect* tab gives you a complete overview of all external users involved in projects in the relevant workspace. Remove them if needed, check their recent activity, and group them by project or other criteria.

Move a task to another project

We've introduced an easier way to move tasks to another project. You can now move tasks to another project using the "Verschieben ins Projekt" button in a task's action menu or through multi-select.

Offline page for the desktop app

The desktop app now has an information page that appears when there's no active internet connection.

Improvements to export files (Excel and Google Sheets)

New columns are available for exporting time entries to Excel and through the Google Sheets integration.

Choose your own watcher settings

In your profile settings, you can now choose whether you want to be automatically added as a watcher to every task you create.

New task filter criterion: "Ersteller"

The new "Ersteller" filter criterion lets you filter tasks created by you, a specific user, or multiple users.

Snack Release 🍩 - July 5, 2024

Browser extension for awork

The browser extension for Chrome and Arc makes it easy to start and manage time tracking in awork directly from your browser, without having to switch between tabs. Once installed, an awork icon appears at the top of your browser window, giving you access to all the relevant time-tracking features. From there, you can start, stop, pause, or discard time entries for projects, and set time as billable or non-billable. The data you track is transferred seamlessly and in real time to your connected awork workspace. The extension also lets you integrate the awork timer into tool pages such as GitHub, HelloHQ, Pipedrive, and MOCO.

Edit planned effort directly in the Zeiten tab

You can now enter and edit planned effort directly in the "Erfasst vs. geplant" view. Simply click the value you want to change for a task or subtask to update the effort immediately.

awork Connect 🔗 - June 20, 2024

awork Connect

With awork Connect, you can easily and for free share projects with external collaborators. This lets you collaborate, communicate directly, and share information with people outside your workspace, whether they're customers, agencies, or freelancers. You'll find the Connect button in the project details view, where you can invite external users. Once they accept the invitation, they become full members of the project and can view and edit tasks based on their permission role. Unlike internal users, external users can only access the shared project from their own awork workspace and aren't part of your workspace.

Guest migration

With the launch of awork Connect, you can now convert all existing guests in your workspace into external users. To do this, find the Connect button next to each guest user in permission management. Once converted, former guests can be invited to individual projects as external users without becoming permanent members of your awork workspace. Shared projects offer the same collaboration features as guest licenses did. To save on guest license costs, simply remove them from your current awork plan.

Same-domain signup

Team members can join a workspace directly, without needing an invitation. When a team member signs up for awork using the same email domain, awork recognizes the domain and automatically assigns them to the existing workspace with that domain.

Budget Bento Release 🍱 - May 21, 2024

KPI reports for projects and users

KPI reports give you quick and easy access to key time-tracking metrics for projects and users. You'll find the KPIs at the top of the project overview in the "Zeiten" tab. For projects, the KPIs are "gesamte erfasste Zeit", "bereit zum Abrechnen", "budgetierte Zeit", and "erfasst vs. geplant". For users, the KPIs are "gesamte erfasste Zeit", "bereit zum Abrechnen", and "Abwesenheiten".

New time view: Erfasst vs. geplant

The new "Erfasst vs. geplant" view in the "Zeiten" tab gives you more detailed insights into all individual project items, including lists, tasks, and subtasks. The "geplant", "erfasst", "abgeschlossen", and "gesamt abrechenbar" columns appear directly beside the relevant task lists, tasks, and subtasks.

Link to task lists

You can create direct links to task lists by clicking "Link kopieren" in the list's action menu.

Add teams to projects more easily

When assigning teams to projects, you'll now see all teams in your awork workspace, not just the first 10. Along with using the search bar, you can also find teams by scrolling through the list.

Faster search in permission management

Search in permission management now includes role names, email addresses, and team names, making it easier to filter the list and find what you're looking for.

"Fällig bis" instead of "Deadline"

"Deadline" has been replaced with "Fällig bis" in task details.

Task filters now let you filter by list name as well.

Coffee Break Release ☕️ - February 12, 2024

The flexible timer 2.0

The flexible timer 2.0 brings a range of improvements to time tracking in awork. You can now pause a running timer or, if needed, delete all the time tracked so far so it won't be included in time tracking. You can also adjust the start time of a running timer afterward and create tasks directly in the timer. The running timer is now much easier to spot in the task list view, where you can also edit it.

New features for selecting multiple time entries

In any time list view in awork, you can select and edit multiple time entries, depending on your permissions. The available actions now include "Set Project", "Set Task", and "Set User". These let you change the associated project, task, or user for all selected time entries at once.

New shortcuts for the "z" quick action

When creating a new time entry in awork by pressing "z", you now have more options for creating entries quickly and precisely. These new quick actions are available: "/jetzt" sets the current time as the end time. "/8" sets the start time to 8 o'clock using a shortcut. "/8-12" sets the start and end times to 8 o'clock and 12 o'clock.

Its goal is to make administration as easy as possible for small and medium-sized businesses.

Improved search

With the improved search, you can now search project and task descriptions too. You can also sort search results by projects, tasks, users, and customers using the new filter options.

2023

The new awork ✨ - 04.12.2023

awork design update

The new awork release is all about improving awork's core values for our users: simplicity, speed, and beauty. By redesigning our entire design system and applying it to almost every existing aspect of the application, we're beginning the next evolution of awork.

Improved design

Logical and intentional design rules now apply throughout the application. This makes awork easier to understand and the information easier to process. We've improved the look and feel of the application and made working with awork faster and more enjoyable.

Improved structure

We've achieved this by revising the entire visual and logical appearance of the user interface, for example, by unifying the navigation options in the new sub-navigation. New customization options, such as adding favorite projects, filters, and teams to the sidebar, let you adapt the default structure to your individual needs. Providing the right information and navigation options for your workflows helps you better understand and keep track of the view you're currently working in.

Improved usability

Associating a function with a specific design element, such as a blue plus button in the top left, helps you quickly get used to intuitive behaviors and actions. By reducing complexity, we've made awork easier and faster to understand, and reduced friction when using it.

Snack 🍩 - 21.08.2023

Subtasks in templates

Subtasks are now available when using project and task filters.

MOCO integration

We've added another invoicing tool to awork's integration library. MOCO specializes in workflows for agencies.

For recurring tasks, all subtasks are also copied when a new instance is created based on the recurrence rule.

Comment indicator for tasks

Tasks now display a small indicator in list and board views when they have comments.

You can now hide the Aktivität section under Meine Zeiten > Mein Tag in your profile settings.

Go from the timer to a task or project

Move task lists to other projects

You can now move entire task lists, including all the tasks and subtasks they contain, to other projects.

Duplicate a task list with its tasks

You can now also duplicate entire task lists.

Show completed tasks more easily

More task details on the dashboard

When there's enough space, the dashboard now displays all task details, just like the list view within a project.

Show all subtasks when the parent task matches the filter

If a parent task matches your task filter, it's displayed as expandable. You can then view all its subtasks, even if they don't match your filter.

Lots of smaller improvements

The text fields for project and task names no longer shrink when you edit long names. The clickable area for adding tasks between two existing tasks in list view has also been enlarged.

Panda 🐼 - 06.03.2023

Real tasks as subtasks

You can structure tasks hierarchically as subtasks and parent tasks in list views. Subtasks remain fully-fledged tasks with all the usual features, including due dates, comments, and attachments.

Previous subtasks become a checklist

Items that were previously called subtasks within a task are now part of the "Checklist". You can easily migrate existing checklist items to real subtasks.

Different planned effort for users

If more than one user is assigned to a task, you can set a different amount of planned effort for each one. The total is split evenly between all users unless you specify an amount for an individual user.

Recurring tasks in the timeline and workload

You can now preview when a recurring task will appear in the project timeline and planner. If the task has planned effort and at least one assigned user, it's also included in the workload calculation.

Faster search and data loading

Exclude events marked as free

Calendar events marked as free are now excluded from workload calculations.

Sticky headers and footers in windows

In larger windows, buttons were often cut off, so you had to scroll all the way down to reach them. We've fixed this: the buttons and header now stick to the edges of the browser window when the window gets too large.

Safer popup closing

Closing popups used to be inconsistent when assigning certain values. We've removed all buttons from popup windows. To close a popup, click outside it. This only closes and saves the popup, without triggering any other action.

Lots of small improvements, styling fixes, and clearer wording

We've fixed small design issues, unclear text, and minor usability barriers throughout awork to make the overall experience more intuitive and enjoyable.

Jack Rabbit 🐰 - 18.07.2022

Improved comment notification experience

Notifications now have an unread status, so you can tell which ones you've already clicked. You can now view older notifications, and we've improved how they're grouped by project.

Notifications for reactions

You'll now receive notifications when someone reacts to a comment with an emoji. This is optional and can be configured in your notification settings. It makes emoji reactions a real part of your communication.

Improved hiding of completed projects

Completed and canceled projects are now better hidden in all selection pop-ups, overviews, and search results. You'll need to actively turn them on with a switch to see them.

Hide older tasks in board columns

You can now hide tasks completed before today from the board's Completed column. This keeps the board view clear and easy to use, even for long-running projects.

Save scroll position in overviews

When you go from an overview (projects, clients, etc.) to a detail page and back, your scroll position is now preserved. This makes it easier to work through several projects one after another.

The new tag pop-up everywhere

The recently introduced tag pop-up has received some major improvements and is now also used for clients and users. The pop-up is now the new standard for tags in awork.

A whole lot of improvements everywhere

We've made lots of improvements across awork. We fixed several issues in the text editor, improved loading times, reduced flickering, improved deep linking, and much more.

SCIM

If you use Single Sign-On (SSO) on the Enterprise plan, you can now enable SCIM to automate user provisioning between your identity provider and awork.

Iguana 🦎 - 11.06.2022

Calendar sync for tasks in the planner

awork now syncs your scheduled tasks in the planner back to your Google or Microsoft calendar. This completes the loop, so your awork schedule appears in your calendar as expected. Just enable it in your calendar settings.

Project templates from the awork team

Our ready-made templates are back! We've improved the entire selection, including the ability to mark favorites and search, and we now offer predefined templates for common project workflows.

Task dependencies in templates

You can now create task dependencies right in your templates. This makes it much easier to create predefined workflows. Dependencies are also included when you create a template from existing tasks.

Better handling of large amounts of data

We've optimized several situations where large amounts of data made the interface sluggish or difficult to use.

Performance improvements

We've significantly improved awork search and loading times in the planner. The workload overview should now load much faster and more smoothly, especially when using a Microsoft calendar integration.

New tag pop-up

The old tag window has been replaced with a new, optimized tag pop-up. It now shows your frequently used tags as well as all the tags used in a project. This makes it much easier to find the right tags.

Hamster 🐹 - 16.05.2022

Private projects

Private projects let you manage your personal to-dos without your team members being able to see them. Private projects are marked with a key icon and are only visible to you as the project creator, or to users you invite to your private project.

Project-level automations

You can finally create smart, super-duper-nice project automations and save a ton of time! A whole range of new project triggers are available, along with matching actions.

Improved project templates

Do you have projects that always follow a similar workflow? You can now save lots of time! You can duplicate project templates, easily import task bundles you've created into your project templates, and turn existing projects into new templates.

Finally consistent: the To-Do status

You can now set your preferred To-Do status in one of two ways: as a gray checkbox, as it's been shown in the task list until now, or as an icon with a blue background. Whichever option you choose, your To-Do status will look consistent and smooth across all views!

A few Team Planner improvements

Following our major Team Planner release, we've made a few more improvements in this release: drag and drop is smoother than ever, workload is shown with higher contrast, and overbooked hours are highlighted in red in the workload hover. This gives you an even better overview of your team's workload.

🗓 Team Planner - 02.05.2022

It's finally here! The new Team Planner, and we couldn't be prouder!

What can the Team Planner do? Quite a lot!

You can finally get an exact overview of your team's workload across all projects, meetings, and scheduled tasks, automatically!

How does it work? The Team Planner combines project planning with your team's personal calendars to give you the most accurate workload calculation ever!

The Workload view shows how busy your team will be over the coming weeks. Here you can see exactly how each team member's workload is made up of scheduled projects, tasks, and calendar events.

You can also specify how many hours per week your colleagues work, so their workload is spread across the working week.

You can also enter planned vacations, sick leave, or other absences. These are, of course, included in the workload.

The Timeline view, which you may already know from your awork projects, shows your team's scheduled to-dos. You can immediately see who's working on what and quickly assign tasks that haven't been scheduled.

The Calendar view shows your team's calendar, including events and blockers. You can schedule new tasks for yourself or other team members directly in the calendar using drag and drop.

2021

Fox 🦊 - 19.09.2021

Multiple assignees for tasks 🥳

You can finally assign multiple people to a task in awork. If that's not right for you, you can simply turn it off. You'll find the setting in awork's general settings.

Project template previews

When creating a new project, you can now preview the available project templates. This helps you make sure you always choose the right template.

Reactions in the mobile app too

We've polished comments in the awork mobile app so they're more like the web app, with video previews and more. You can now swipe across a comment to quickly and easily add an emoji reaction on mobile too.

Automatic billability for project templates

Project templates include an "Auto" option for project billability. With this option, the default billability depends on whether the project is created with a client, just as it does when you create a project without a template.

Delete lists along with their tasks

When you delete a task list in a project, you can now delete its tasks at the same time, without having to do it in a second step as before.

Automations for task followers

You can now create automations that send a message to everyone following a task.

Limit time tracking to 10 hours per day

A new time tracking setting lets you limit time tracking to 10 hours per day across your entire awork workspace. You won't be able to save more time than that. Users with admin rights are exempt.

Budget and owner in project exports

We've added the fields "Budget" and "Responsible party" to the Excel export of the project overview.

Improved menu visibility in permission roles

In the permission role settings, you can now only select or deselect menu items for which the role has sufficient permissions. This prevents combinations that aren't possible.

Unicorn 🦄 - 19.07.2021

The biggest update since awork first launched.

New design & new main menu

awork has a fresh new look. Everything is more contrasted, friendlier, and cleaner. We've also streamlined the main menu, moving less frequently used items to the settings. All settings pages have been redesigned and are now clearer and easier to navigate.

Notifications revamped

The notifications popup has been split into general notifications and comments, so nothing slips through the cracks. You now need to manually mark notifications as read, and they'll then disappear from the overview. More useful grouping will also make it easier for you to work with notifications in awork in the future.

Quick actions for creating time entries and tasks

Quick actions are new and can now be accessed from the app header. They let you create tasks and time entries in no time, even using only your keyboard. Use the shortcut CMD+J or CTRL+J to open them anywhere in awork and get started right away.

New project templates and optional project types

Project types are now just a way to categorize your projects for reporting. Project templates are now available for all project presets. You can define settings, statuses, tasks, and more, then apply them directly to a new project when you create it.

Task packages are now task templates

Task packages are now called task templates. Otherwise, not much has changed. The only exception is that public task packages have been discontinued and will soon be replaced by more comprehensive project templates. We've also removed the link between task templates and project types. Project templates now have their own predefined tasks and lists.

Show and hide columns

In the overviews for projects, tasks, and users, you can now choose which details to display in the list. Depending on how much space your window has, you can show up to six different columns. awork automatically remembers your settings.

Tasks show more details in board and list views

Tasks now show more details in task list and board views, such as whether they have attachments, how many subtasks have been completed, and more.

Images and more in description fields

You can now insert files into task and project description fields, or attach previously added images or files by typing "@".

My tasks + task views = Tasks

Task views are now task filters, and have been combined with "My Tasks" under the "Tasks" menu item. As before, you can manage your own tasks in this view, but you can also create filters across your own tasks, projects, and users.

Time reports in projects

The Times tab in a project now shows a summary of recorded time, like the one you're familiar with from time reports. With a single click, you can go from project times to the reports and report on the project, invoice it, or export a timesheet.

New Help Center & new Developer Docs

We've completely revamped awork's help resources. Comprehensive articles in German and English will help you quickly find answers to your questions. We've also updated the Developer Docs.

awork Google Home Voice Client discontinued

We've decided to discontinue the awork Voice Client for now, as it has seen very little use over the past few years.

Dino 🦖 - 04.04.2021

Create tasks faster with shortcuts

Game changer! You can now use the "a" shortcut anywhere in awork to open the new task window, quickly enter tasks, and assign projects, lists, and people using slash commands. Be sure to give it a try! 🤩

Multi-select: Edit multiple tasks at once

Finally! 🙇‍♀️ You can now select multiple tasks from task lists and edit them, assign users, or move them to another project.

Improved formatting options

Project and task description fields now come with a range of new features that make it easier to write detailed, well-formatted briefs, such as dividers, multilevel lists, and handy keyboard shortcuts.

Emoji reactions to comments 💜

You can now reply to comments quickly and with a little love using the new emoji reactions in awork.

Drag and drop files into comments

You can drop files directly into the field where you write a new comment to attach them to it. You can do this even before you've written anything.

Formatting for comments

The new formatting options are now available for comments too!

Video previews in comments

When you post a video link, such as YouTube or Loom, in a comment, awork automatically generates a video preview, and the video can be played right there.

Recurring tasks with start dates and times

We've improved recurring tasks! You can now set when the first new task should be created, what time it should be created, and when it should be due.

Lots of little improvements 🦖

We've also made lots of small improvements and fixes to make working with awork even more enjoyable. These include the activity filter, the priority flag in automations, editing tags directly from task lists, and much more.
​

Chipmunk 🐿 - 12.02.2021

Custom project pictures

You can now assign a small picture to any project, whether or not it has a client, so it's easier to recognize.

Create tasks from emails

Forward emails to the specific project email address to automatically create a task. Best of all, you can set up an automation to perform additional actions right away.

List view for project files

You can now view project files in a clear, easy-to-scan list, which comes in handy when a project starts to get crowded.

Single sign-on (SSO)

Already using SSO for your team's tools? You can now configure it for awork too. Okta, AD, and Auth0 are supported out of the box, for example.

Mention files in comments

As well as users, teams, and project members, you can now mention project or task files in comments, linking to them directly.

Connect awork projects to private Slack channels

You can finally link private Slack channels to awork. Just use the /link slash command from the channel.

Customizable time format: hours, days, or both?

We felt the "4d 5h 23m" format was a little too long, so we've streamlined it. It now automatically shows hours (e.g. 5:23h) or days (4.7d), depending on the value. You can also set either display format as your default.

Lots of little quality-of-life improvements 💜

The purple stopwatch now shows the task and project when you hover over it; time reports now have an all-time filter and 5-minute rounding; the time selector now has a "now" shortcut; the days in the My Times weekly view are now clickable; task drag and drop is faster; tasks now show all followers; you can close search with ESC; task names are easier to read for short tasks in the timeline; the image crop selector can do more; we've made various speed improvements; and you can now jump directly to the team planner from the absence widget on the dashboard.

2020

Baboon 🐒 - 20.12.2020

Export your timeline as a PDF 🤩

You can now export your project timeline as a PDF. Send it to your client or add it to your next presentation.

Move dependent tasks along with them

You can enable dependent tasks to move along with other tasks in the Timeline. Whenever you move a task in the Timeline, its follow-up tasks will move along with it.

Previews for PDFs and Office documents

File previews now also display PDFs, all kinds of Office documents, and videos.

Set project time budgets

The new project time budget lets you set a budget for the entire project and measure progress against it.

Start the timer from the dashboard

You can restart the timer from the Action-Menü on any task, project, or time entry. This is especially handy on the dashboard or in search.

Set projects as billable or non-billable by default

In the project settings, you can mark a project as billable by default. All time tracked on the project will automatically be marked as billable.

Set a default project role

You can mark one of your project roles as the default role in the awork settings. It will then be selected automatically when you assign people to your project team.

Mention your project team, teams, or the entire workspace in a comment

Use @projekt, @workspace, or a team name to mention larger groups of people in project and task comments and notify them.

Apply automation changes

When you change an automation in the project types, you can now apply those changes to all projects of that type.

Group the project overview

The project overview finally has its own grouping option! Group projects by client, user, end date, project type, and more. 💪

Improvements all around

There are lots of little improvements waiting for you, such as preventing notifications from being sent accidentally, improving drag behavior for tasks without lists, loading the project team less often when assigning tasks, and making it so comments are sent with ctrl + enter instead of shift + enter.

Alpaca 🦙 - 22.11.2020

Individual capacity for each user

Set a weekly capacity for each user to plan your team more effectively. The new capacity also automatically adjusts when the green ring for time tracking fills up.

Google Drive and OneDrive integration

You can now attach files from Google Drive or OneDrive to tasks, projects, or comments. No setup is required. Just select a file and get started.

New project progress widget

A new battery-style widget shows you how many tasks in your project are currently at each status. We recommend adding it straight to your dashboard.

Lots of navigation improvements

We've made lots of small improvements to awork's navigation. You can now open tasks from the dashboard in a window, easily copy and share task links, jump straight from time entries to the relevant project or task, search for client names in project search, and open files with a single click, plus a few more improvements.

A sweeter login area

We've tidied up the login area. It's now nicer, clearer, and makes it easier to see all the helpful information.

A few cool little extras

When entering a duration, for example in time tracking, you can now use the format 4:30 to enter 4h 30m. The first day of the week is now automatically based on your browser's regional settings. AND: We've hidden an alpaca somewhere in awork. ;)

04.10. "All for the team"

Teams for your workspace

Create teams and assign users and projects to them to restrict project visibility and make it easier to manage larger numbers of users.

More powerful task packages

Task packages have been upgraded. You can now assign users or project roles in the templates, attach files, and much more.

Filter task views by status name

In task views and on the dashboard, you can now filter by the name of a task status if you only want to see tasks with a specific status.

Edit task dependencies

Task dependencies can now be edited not only in the Timeline, but also in the details of all project tasks, including tasks without start and end dates.

Improved workload display

In team planning, hovering over a user now shows their actual workload.

Small improvements

User profile settings have moved to the first tab of the profile, making them easier to access.

When you create another workspace, there's now an extra step to prevent you from creating one by accident.

💻 Recommend awork and save money

For every successful referral (a new subscription with a 12- or 24-month term), your next invoice will be discounted by the equivalent of one month of the new subscription. The person you refer gets the same discount on their first invoice.

12.07. "Summer time awesomeness"

💻 Tags 2.0

Tags now have a free choice of colors, a cooler design, and can be renamed or deleted. How cool is that?!

💻 Adjustable Timeline sidebar

You can now drag the sidebar containing unscheduled tasks to set its width. This makes it easier to read longer task names.

💻 OAuth 2.0 for the Lexware Office integration

We've switched authentication for the Lexware Office integration to OAuth 2.0. From now on, integrations can only be set up using OAuth 2.0. Existing integrations will continue to work, though. As a little bonus, invoices created with the Lexware Office integration now open directly in edit mode.

💻 Declined appointments no longer appear in the calendar

Under "Meine Zeiten," appointments you've already declined are no longer shown. This means the view now matches your actual calendar.

💻 Export tasks to Excel

You can now export tasks in a project or task view to an Excel file and use them for your own reports, printing, and more.

💻 Invoicing tool integrations (Premium plan)

You can now create invoices directly from awork using your project time in the following tools:

• HQ

The Slack integration update may not be available right on 07.11.19, as we're waiting for Slack's submission approval.

💻 New permission management

We've completely redesigned permission management to make it much clearer. You can now also choose from ready-made presets.

💻Task Pack UI Update

The task pack settings now look even better and fit in more seamlessly with the rest of our UI. 🔥

Permission management now includes the Lizenz zum Projekte-Anlegen permission.

The project creator will always receive Verwalten- permissions for that project, regardless of their user or project role. 🛑

27.08. "It's about time"

The Activity Log is now faster than ever, so you can get even more done in less time. 💪

💻📱Invite Users to Tasks by Email

You can now assign a task to a user who isn't yet part of your workspace. Just use the new option in the user picker to invite them by email. 📫

💻📱Premium Trial

You can now try awork's Premium features free for 14 days. ⭐

05.08. "Amazing Stuff"

💻 View Project Progress

From now on, you'll see a project's progress in its details. You can see how many tasks are planned and completed, as well as how much of the planned time has already been used.

The planned time for projects is now calculated from the planned time for all tasks in the project. You can now enter a task's planned effort inline in the task details.

💻 Presentation Mode for Boards

This mode strips the Board down to the essentials: the task name, description, and image. This helps you get a better overview.

💻 Collapsed Lists Now Always Show the Number of Tasks

This makes it even easier to keep track of projects with lots of large lists.

📱 View Project Progress

You can now see in the app's project details how many tasks are planned for a project and how many have already been completed.

📱 Mention Users

You can now use the @ function to tag other users in the Activity Log for tasks and projects.

📱 Show Completed Tasks

You can now choose in the project details whether or not to show completed tasks.

📱 Assign Tasks to Members of the Project Team

When you want to assign a user to a task, you'll now only see the project team. This should make it easier to find the right person for a task. You can still use search to assign any other user in your workspace to the task.

💻 📱 Easier Password Creation

awork now shows you how secure your chosen password is as you create it. For your own security, your password must be in the secure (green) range.

13.05. "Team's Work"

Create Task Views

With the new task views across projects, you can create your own filters across all projects and, for example, see all your team's tasks or tasks for a specific customer.

24.04. "Work-Space-Time"

Create Subtasks

You can now create subtasks for any task from the task details. This makes your project tasks even easier to keep track of.

New Filters in Time Tracking Reports

You can now filter time tracking reports by "Billable" and "Billed". This makes it even easier to manage your time.

Easier Switching Between Projects

Previously, switching between projects always took you to the project overview page. From now on, when you switch projects from the project overview, you'll stay in the project's task or Board view.

Teams Are Now Called Workspaces

Since the term "team" wasn't immediately clear to everyone, we've renamed teams to workspaces. Nothing about the functionality has changed.

07.03. "Real Social"

04.02. "awork"

Q. becomes awork.
