15.10.26: Share AI threads without assigning them to a project

Work together in a private AI thread

Invite team members 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 entire 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 settings, rename the thread, and delete it for everyone. They also need access to the agent to reply. Sharing the thread doesn't grant this access.

Where to find the sharing feature

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

15.10.26: Assign and schedule the awork Agent

Hand work directly over to the awork Agent

Assign tasks and project work directly to the awork Agent, mention it in a comment, or use 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 independent of your current thread.

15.10.26: Markdown import for 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, and a Doc is created for each file with supported Markdown formatting.

29.09.26 – UX improvements

Find your favorites faster in every selection menu

All selection menus, such as the project picker for time tracking or the agent picker for a prompt, now have a switcher for Zuletzt verwendet, Favoriten, and Alle. Jump straight to what you use most instead of scrolling through the whole 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 and shows the result more clearly. Improved haptics make the interaction feel more precise. It's easier to organize things, and everything ends up where it belongs.

29.09.26 – Easy 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. Change a tag's name or color, or delete it. The change applies 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. Need to recolor or delete several tags? Select them within a section and take care of them all at once.

Made for tidying up your tags

This first version helps you tidy 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 we'd love 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, with or without project context

AI chat gives everyone on your team one place for the questions that come up every day. Ask everyday questions just like you would in a general-purpose AI tool, and get answers based on real project data when it matters, including timelines, resources, time tracking, client feedback, and more. No more switching tabs or piecing together context manually. Your answer is ready from the very 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 designed 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 open it up to your team with one click

New threads are private by default, so you can think freely before sharing anything. Connect a thread to a project when you want your 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 of your choice, with no lock-in to a single default model. Each agent stays strictly within your permissions, so client work never ends up in another client's context. And because everything is hosted entirely in the EU and is 100% GDPR-compliant, your team can adopt 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, simple cost control and billing.

09.07.26 – The new awork

A cleaner design, up to 30% more compact

The entire design feels calmer, with new typography, a fresh icon set, and stronger contrast. You can see up to 30% more on screen, with a clearer visual hierarchy, so more of your work is visible at a glance. And alongside Dark Mode, there's now another contrast level (Standard → Hoch) for improved 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 spot, along with actions tailored to the page you're on.

The new lists, with the right view 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, this was only possible 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 see right away who's overloaded, without leaving the project.

04.06.26 - 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. No more workarounds for missing endpoints.

External AI agents that really understand awork

With built-in access to awork documentation and best practices, 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 for 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 is simple: one URL, one login, and you're done.

20.05.26 - 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 goes 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

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

30.04.26 - 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 to start new projects with the right process from the get-go. Already have a well-configured project? Save it as a workflow in the project settings, then 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 wizard 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 perfectly. That's why you can turn off 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 processes

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

16.04.26 - 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 right away 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.

16.04.26 - Ansichten: Create and organize what you want to see

A dedicated space for filters and saved views

Ansichten now has its own dedicated space 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: Neue Aufgaben, Meine Aufgaben, and Private Aufgaben. They're ready to use right away, with no setup required.

Share views with exactly the right people

Share views with specific people, teams, or your entire workspace. You decide whether they can view or edit them, so there's no more broadcasting to everyone.

Just the beginning

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

16.04.26 - 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 failures won't go unnoticed.

14.04.26 - 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 has no connection to the original.

Choose what gets copied

Members, assignees, documents, and files are included by default. You can turn off each item individually before duplicating. You can also reset task statuses so the project starts with a clean slate.

10.02.26 - Project and task keys

Reference tasks unambiguously

Every project gets a short key, such as MKTG or BRND, and every task gets a permanent number, such as 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 if task titles do, so your documentation and commit history remain valid forever.

Find things fast and copy them even faster

Search for any task by its number, either by entering just "42" or the full "MKTG-42", and jump straight to it. Click the task key to copy its URL, or click the 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

Kick off multi-step processes with a click

Not every workflow should run automatically. Manual triggers let you start automations exactly when you need them, such as running your QA checklist before a customer review or starting 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 regular automations: choose the Manual trigger type, give it a clear name, such as "Start approval process", add actions like changing a status, assigning a user, or triggering webhooks, and save. The automation appears in a dropdown on every task in the project, ready to run when you click, not when an event fires.

10.02.26 - Trusted workspaces: skip setup for known Connect partners

Automatically accept selected Connect invitations

If you regularly work with the same agency, customer, or freelancer workspace via awork Connect, you shouldn't have to approve every project invitation one by one. Workspace admins can now mark specific workspaces as "vertrauenswürdig" so invitations from those workspaces are accepted automatically. Your regular partners can jump straight into projects, be assigned tasks, and get started.

Set it up once and forget about it

Go to Workspace settings > Connect > Vertrauenswürdige Workspaces, add your partner's workspace using its ID or URL, and click Save. That's it. From then on, everyone in that trusted workspace can connect with your users right away. It's perfect for agencies with long-standing customers, companies with regular freelancer pools, or any team that's tired of approving the same people over and over again.

10.02.26 - All-day calendar entries for bookings and tasks

See your assigned tasks where you plan your day

The "All-day" 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 focus time. Tasks have a solid border, while bookings are dotted, just like in the timeline views. Hover over an entry to see its full name. It's much easier to fit your actual work into open slots and build a realistic plan for the day.

Choose what's displayed

Go to your calendar settings and you'll find three new options: "Ganztägige Aufgaben" shows your assigned tasks from active projects. "Aufgaben ohne Startdatum" adds tasks that only have a due date. These appear as one-day items on their due date, but the first toggle must be turned on. And "Buchungen anzeigen" shows your resource bookings. Try out the settings to see what's useful 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 a free afternoon in your calendar as "Out of Office," awork can now detect it and reduce your capacity in Planner workload accordingly. This is completely optional: go to your calendar integration settings and turn on "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 parent-teacher meeting. Out of office events let you schedule these shorter absences without having to enter them separately in an HR system. Your team can see that you're unavailable, 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

29.10.25 - Gantt view for projects

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 tasks in sync, 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 tasks' start and end dates with those of 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 briefings, 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 larger changes, the AI will ask you to confirm. Better safe than sorry. Less admin, more done.

Get answers in the right context

Get clear answers about status, deadlines, capacity, or tracked time whenever you need them, without having to build a report. awork AI reads your current project or task, within your permissions, and gives you insights and next steps. Get aligned in seconds, even during busy periods.

Protect sensitive data

26.08.25 - Instant reports for a quick overview

Create the most important time reports in seconds

Instant reports let you skip the setup for standard time reports and select the relevant filters with a single click. Choose from "Monthly time tracking overview," "Tracked vs. planned," "Billability per user," and "Ready for invoicing."

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 "Apply" button. This makes choosing filters much quicker and easier.

Keep planned effort in view

New "planned effort" columns make it easy to compare planned and actual tracked 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.

Set 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 reports clean and easy to understand.

15.07.25 - Export Docs as PDFs

Work with your Docs outside awork

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

July 10, 2025 - Version history in Docs: Every change saved, full control

Every edit automatically saved as a version

With the new version history, awork automatically saves every change you make in Docs, whether the document is private or in a space or project. That way, you always have the complete history of your document at your fingertips.

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 too, so no information is lost and you have maximum flexibility when rolling back changes.

Security and control for every team

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

July 10, 2025 - 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 the fields you create are automatically available in every project.

Built right into all your workflows

Show custom fields in the project list, set them up in project templates, and edit them directly in the project details. That way, every project can meet your needs.

Filter easily to get a quick overview

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

May 13, 2025 - Calendar and time tracking come together, new bulk editing options, bookings without a project, and timeline updates

Calendar and time tracking now in one view

Tracking time in awork has never been easier. Time tracking and the calendar are now combined, so all your time entries and events are in one place, right in the calendar.

• View time entries right in the calendar: Always know where things stand: Your time entries are now shown right 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: Use the Kontextmenü on synced calendar events to create a time entry directly from an event. The event title is automatically added as a note. You can adjust the duration, task, or project at any time.
• Create entries or tasks with drag and drop: Just 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? Just select the users you want to see, and their time entries and calendar events will appear alongside yours. With the right permissions, you can even log time for other people.

Bulk editing for subtasks

You can now select multiple subtasks, either individually or all under one parent task, and edit them together. You can also assign them to a new parent task with just one click. This makes it quicker and easier than ever to organize and update your projects.

Book capacity in the Planer without a project

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

Improved UX for project and task timelines

A small but handy improvement: Project and task timelines outside the Planner now use the smoother timeline technology introduced in the Planner update. A small upgrade with a big impact.

May 9, 2025 - awork Docs: Bring documentation and project work together 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. That keeps your knowledge flowing and gives everyone on the team, as well as your clients, access to the same information, without switching tools.

Documentation for your entire workspace

You can also create central documentation for your whole workspace, in addition to project docs. For example, create design guidelines, onboarding guides, or technical instructions. With a flexible folder structure, everything stays easy to find, up to date, and clearly organized.

Collaboration, formatting, sharing, and much more

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

💡 Find all the details about Docs in this Help Center article.

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

Clear layout for project and user overviews

The split-screen view in the Planner 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 provide a clearer structure 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 move in and out of projects while planning. When you click a project in the Planner timeline, the new navigation opens. From there, you can dive into the task timeline or project users for detailed planning, or open the entire project outside the Planner.

Planner checklist for spotting risks early and taking action

The new personalized checklist highlights potential issues in your project plan, such as upcoming deadlines, delayed tasks, or over- and underloaded users. 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 issue.

Project editing options in the Planner timeline

You can now edit projects directly in the Planner timeline, making it easier to adjust your project portfolio. Move projects using drag and drop or adjust their duration, right in the project overview.

User availability for quick task assignments

When assigning a task to users, you can view their availability directly to ensure an efficient workload, without having to open the Planner.

Filter options for 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 your tasks.

Experimental AI to resolve overloading

When users are overloaded, AI can automatically reschedule the relevant tasks. This experimental feature is intended primarily for smaller workloads. Open the user timeline, select the tasks you want to reschedule, and click "Autofix". After a few seconds, the tasks will be moved automatically 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 recurring monthly budgets 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 from one month affect the next month's budget.

Retainer view in the project time 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 provide a clear overview of the current and previous months of the project. If the option to carry over unused and/or exceeded hours is enabled, you can also see how the previous month affects your available monthly budget.

Improved automation for budget notifications

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

Precise budget tracking using billable time only

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

Customizable budgets in project templates

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

Time Fries release 🍟 - 29.11.2024

Bar charts in the "Zeiten" view

The bar charts show how much time has been tracked and how it has been tracked across projects, users, or clients over time. You can find them in the "Zeiten" view in a project's, client's, or user's "Zeiten" tab. The charts let you group tracked 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 show project budget progress in relation to tracked work hours. These charts are available in the "Erfasst vs. geplant" view in every project. They're especially useful for spotting trends or deviations early and responding accordingly. The view of progress over the past six months, along with color changes when budgets are exceeded, helps you effectively monitor your projects' financial limits.

Improved search in your workspace

Search in awork has been significantly improved, making it faster and easier to find information. The expanded view now shows more results at once, and search now covers comments, notes, project descriptions, files, and task lists. Detailed result previews, 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 display of time reports in the "Zeitauswertungen" tab has changed from a tile view to a list view for better clarity. Options to sort by name and creation date, along with a search function, are now available in the top-right corner of the view, making it easier to find specific reports. In addition, an action menu next to each report lets you share reports directly from the list view without opening them.

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 dedicated action menu next to a list to hide it completely from external users. This ensures they only see relevant content and keeps internal information protected.

New MOCO integration

The new MOCO integration lets you seamlessly transfer 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, minimizing the need to reconcile data manually.

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

Hide completed tasks

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

awork Connect 🔗 - 20.06.2024

awork Connect

With awork Connect, you can share projects with external people for free and with ease. This makes it easier to collaborate, communicate directly, and share information with people outside your workspace, whether they're clients, agencies, or freelancers. You'll find the Connect button in the project details, where you can invite external users. Once they accept the invitation, they become full members of the project and can view and edit tasks according to 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 introduction of awork Connect, you can now convert all existing guests in your workspace into external users. To do this, you'll find a Connect button next to each guest user in permission management. After conversion, 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 options as guest licenses did before. 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 🍱 - 21.05.2024

KPI reports give you quick and easy access to the 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.

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 after the fact and create tasks directly in the timer. The running timer is now much easier to spot in the task list view, where you can edit it too.

New features for selecting multiple time entries

In every time list view in awork, you can select and edit multiple time entries, depending on your permissions. The new actions "Projekt setzen", "Aufgabe setzen", and "User setzen" are now available when editing. They let you change the project, task, or user associated with all selected time entries at once.

New shortcuts for the "z" Quick Action

When you create a time entry in awork by pressing "z", you now have more options for creating an entry quickly and precisely. These include the new Quick Actions: "/jetzt" to set the current time as the end time, "/8" to set the start time to 8 o'clock with a shortcut, and "/8-12" to set the start and end times to 8 o'clock and 12 o'clock.

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 starting the next evolution of awork.

Improved design

Logical and thoughtful design rules now apply throughout the application. This makes awork easier to understand and its information easier to process. We've improved the look and feel (subjective quality) of the application, making working with awork faster and more enjoyable.

Improved structure

We've achieved this by redesigning 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 learn intuitive actions and behaviors. By reducing complexity, we've made awork easier and faster to understand, while reducing friction when using it.

Snack 🍩 - 21.08.2023

Subtasks in templates

Show all subtasks when the parent task matches the filter

When a parent task matches your task filter, it appears as expandable, letting you view all its subtasks, even if they don't match your filter.

Many smaller improvements

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 full-fledged tasks with all the usual features, including due dates, comments, and attachments.

The previous subtasks become a checklist

The items previously called subtasks within a task are now called a "checklist." You can easily migrate existing checklist items to real subtasks.

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

Notifications for reactions

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

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 directly in 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 cases 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 tag window has been replaced with a new and improved tag pop-up. It now shows you your frequently used tags as well as all the tags used in the awork Projekt. This makes it much easier to choose the right tags.

Hamster 🐹 - 16.05.2022

Private awork Projekts

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

Automations at awork Projekt level

At last, you can create smart, super-duper-nice awork Projekt automations and save lots of time! A whole range of new awork Projekt triggers and matching actions are now available.

Improved awork Projekt templates

Do you have awork Projekts on your team that always follow a similar process? You can now save lots of time! You can duplicate awork Projekt templates, easily import task bundles you've created into your awork Projekt templates, and turn existing awork Projekts into new templates.

Finally consistent: the to-do status

You can now choose your preferred to-do status in one of two ways: as a gray checkbox, as it has appeared in the task list so far, 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, the workload is displayed 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 more proud!

What can the Team Planner do? Quite a lot!

You can now get an accurate overview of your team's workload across all awork Projekts, meetings, and scheduled tasks!

How? The Team Planner combines awork Projekt planning with your team's personal calendars to show the most accurate workload calculation ever!

The Workload view shows how busy your team will be over the next few weeks. Here you can see exactly how your team members' workload is made up of scheduled awork Projekts, tasks, and calendar events.

You can also specify how many hours per week your colleagues work, so the workload is distributed across the workweek.

You can also schedule vacations, sick leave, and other absences, which are of course taken into account in the workload.

The Timeline view, which you already know from your awork Projekts, shows your team's scheduled to-dos. You can see right away who's working on what and quickly assign any unscheduled tasks.

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. And if that's not your thing, you can simply turn it off. You'll find the setting in awork's general settings.

awork Projekt template previews

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

Reactions in the mobile app too

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

Automatic billability for awork Projekt templates

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

Delete lists and their tasks together

When you delete a task list in a awork Projekt, you can also delete its tasks at the same time, without having to do so in a separate second step as before.

Automation 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 for the entire awork workspace. Saving more than that won't be allowed. Users with admin permissions are exempt.

Budget and owner in awork Projekt exports

We've added the "Budget" and "Verantwortliche*r" fields to the Excel export of the awork Projekt 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 invalid configurations.

Unicorn 🦄 - July 19, 2021

The biggest update since awork began.

New design & new main menu

awork has a fresh new look. Everything has more contrast and feels friendlier and cleaner. We've also tidied up the main menu and moved less frequently used items to Settings. We've redesigned the layout of all settings pages, making them clearer and easier to understand.

Notifications redesigned

The notifications pop-up has been split into general notifications and comments, so you won't miss anything. You now need to manually mark notifications as read, after which they disappear from the overview. Better grouping will also make it easier to work with notifications in awork in the future.

Quick actions for creating time entries and tasks

Quick actions are new and are now available 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 from anywhere in awork and get started right away.

New awork Projekt templates and optional awork Projekt types

awork Projekt types are now only used to categorize your awork Projekts for reporting. awork Projekt templates are now available for all awork Projekt presets. You can define settings, statuses, tasks, and more, then apply them directly when creating a new awork Projekt.

Task bundles are now task templates

Task bundles are now called task templates. Otherwise, not much has changed. Public task bundles have been discontinued and will soon be replaced with more extensive awork Projekt templates. We've also removed the connection between task templates and awork Projekt types. awork Projekt templates now have their own predefined tasks and lists.

Show and hide columns

In the overviews for awork Projekts, 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 also add files to task and awork Projekt description fields, or use "@" to attach images or files you've already added.

Meine Aufgaben + task views = Aufgaben

Task views are now task filters and have been combined with "Meine Aufgaben" under the menu item "Aufgaben". As before, you can use this view to manage your own tasks, but you can also create your own filters across awork Projekts and users.

Time reports in awork Projekts

The Zeiten tab in a awork Projekt now shows a summary of tracked time, like the one you're used to from time reports. With one click, you can go from awork Projekt time entries to reports, where you can report on the awork Projekt, invoice it, or export a timesheet.

New Help Center & new developer docs

We've completely revamped awork's help resources. In-depth articles in German and English will help you find answers to your questions quickly. 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.

Dinosaur 🦖 - April 4, 2021

Create tasks faster with shortcuts

Game changer! You can now open the new task window from anywhere in awork using the "a" shortcut, enter tasks quickly and easily, and assign projects, lists, and people using slash commands. 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 offer a range of new features that make it easier to write detailed, well-formatted briefs, for example, using divider lines, nested lists, and intuitive shortcuts.

Emoji reactions for comments 💜

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

Drag and drop files into comments

You can drop files directly into the field for writing 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 a filter for selecting activities, the priority flag in automations, editing tags from task lists, and much more.
​

Chipmunk 🐿 - February 12, 2021

Custom project images

You can now assign a small image to any project, whether or not it has a client, to make it easier to recognize.

Tasks from emails

Forward emails to a project's unique email address to automatically create a task. Best of all, you can set up an automation to trigger additional actions right away.

List view for project files

You can now display project files in a clear list view, which is useful 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 too. Just use the /link slash command from the channel.

Customizable time format: hours, days, or both?

We found the "4d 5h 23m" format a little too long, so we've optimized it. It now automatically displays hours (e.g. 5:23h) or days (4.7d), depending on the value. Each user can also choose either display as their default.

Lots of little quality-of-life improvements 💜

The purple stopwatch now shows the task and project on hover; time reports now have an All Time filter and 5-minute rounding; the time picker now includes a "now" shortcut; the days in the My Time weekly view are now clickable; task drag and drop is faster; tasks now show all followers; press ESC to close search; short tasks display their names more clearly in the timeline; image cropping offers more options; we've made various speed improvements; and you can now go directly from the absence widget on the dashboard to the team planner.

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 it

You can enable the option to move dependent tasks along with you in the timeline. Whenever you move tasks in the timeline, their dependent tasks will move with them.

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 your 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 entries recorded for that project will then be marked as billable automatically.

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 in project and task comments to mention and notify larger groups of people.

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 options! Group projects by client, user, end date, or project type, for example. 💪

Improvements all around

We've made lots of small improvements, like preventing notifications from being sent accidentally, improving drag-and-drop behavior for tasks without lists, reducing how often the project team loads when assigning tasks, and changing comment submission 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 the current status of your project's tasks at a glance. Add it to your dashboard!

A whole bunch of navigation improvements

We've improved awork's navigation in lots of little ways. 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 the project search, and open files with a single click, among other things.

A sweeter login area

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

A few cool little extras

You can now enter durations, for example in time tracking, in the format 4:30 to mean 4h 30m. The first day of the week now automatically follows 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 limit project visibility and make it easier to manage larger numbers of users.

More powerful task bundles

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

Filter task views by status name

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

Edit task dependencies

You can now edit task dependencies not only in the timeline, but also in the details of any project task, including tasks without a start or end date.

Better 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 help prevent you from creating one by accident.

You can now sign up and sign in with your Apple ID. You can also link your Apple account later, of course.

💻 Recommend awork and save money

Every successful referral (a new subscription with a 12- or 24-month term) gives you a discount on your next invoice equal to 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 color, a cooler design, and can be renamed or deleted. How cool is that then?!

You can now see your current awork plan in the workspace settings and easily manage it there. It was sometimes just too hard to find in the main menu.

💻 Resizable timeline sidebar

You can now drag the sidebar with unplanned tasks to your preferred width. This makes it easier to read long 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

„My times" no longer shows appointments you've declined. This means the view now matches your actual calendar more closely.

💻 Export tasks to Excel

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

💻 Lots of UI improvements and bug fixes 🙌

We've put a lot of effort into making a wide range of small improvements. These include a more intuitive way to enter messages in automations, an improved view of board columns on larger screens, a dark mode view for the notes widget, and much more.

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

That means you no longer need to open the Edit window.

07.11. "Time is money"

💻Task Packages

💻Task Package UI Update

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

Project creators will always receive administrative permissions for the project they create, regardless of their user or project role. 🛑

27.08. "It's about time"

💻Timeline for Project Tasks

💻📱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 can see a project's progress in its details. There you can see how many tasks are planned and completed, as well as how much of the planned time has already been used.

Another new feature is that a project's planned time is now calculated from the planned time for all its tasks. You can now enter a task's planned effort inline in its details.

💻 Presentation Mode in Boards

This mode reduces the board to the essentials: task name, description, and image. This helps you get a better overview.

💻 Collapsed Lists Now Always Show the Number of Tasks

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

💻 📱 Easier Password Creation

When you create a password, awork now shows you how secure it is. For your own safety, your password must be in the secure (green) range.

13.05. "Team's Work"

24.04. "Work-Space-Time"

Create Subtasks

You can now create subtasks for any task in its 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 "Invoiced". This makes it even easier to keep track of your time.

Easier Switching Between Projects

Previously, when you switched between projects, you always landed on the project overview page. From now on, when you switch projects from the project overview, you'll stay in the project task or board view.

Teams Are Now Called Workspaces

The term "team" wasn't clear to all users, so we've renamed teams to workspaces. This doesn't change any of the features.

07.03. "Real Social"

04.02. "awork"

Q. becomes awork.

2018

Note: Before 2019, awork was in pilot operation under the "Q." brand. The following releases therefore use the corresponding names.

Icon Check When Creating New Content

When you create new content, such as a task type, Q. now checks whether you're already using certain icons.

24.07. "Plasma Tail"

Drag and drop files

You can now upload files even more easily by simply dragging and dropping them into your browser. This also works with multiple tasks at once.

Use task types for private tasks
