Version update logs - TimeCatchApp

What’s new in v1.8 released : 09 September 2026

The biggest productivity losses in professional services rarely come from the work itself.

They come from chasing approvals, hunting for document versions, answering client status requests, and reconstructing what happened months after a project ended.

TimeCatchApp 1.8 is designed to eliminate those frustrations.

• Stop Chasing Approvals Through Email

  Ever sent a document for review and then wondered:

  • Who has approved it?
  • Who is holding things up?
  • Which comments are the latest?
  • Which version are people reviewing?

  With TimeCatchApp 1.8, approvals happen directly where the work happens.

  Benefits:

  • See exactly who has approved and who is still pending
  • Keep all approval comments attached to the document
  • Eliminate conflicting feedback spread across email threads
  • Give everyone visibility into approval progress
  • Maintain a complete audit trail of approvals
  What's New:

  • Create approval chains of any size
  • Include team members, clients, or both
  • Store comments directly within the approval record
  • Automatically record approval dates and times
  • Track approval status for every document
  • Available for documents in any project or task

  No more searching inboxes, shared drives, or chat messages to figure out where things stand.

• Give Clients Visibility Without Paying for Extra Seats

  Clients frequently ask for project status, documents, invoices, approvals, and updates.

  Most systems either lock clients out completely or charge extra to include them.

  TimeCatchApp takes a different approach.

  Benefits:

  • Reduce status update emails
  • Give clients self-service access to information
  • Keep communication connected to the project
  • Improve collaboration without additional software
  What's New:

  Client accounts are now available at no charge. Professional users can invite clients who can:

  • View invoice and payment history
  • Create tasks and assign work
  • Access documents they've been granted permission to view
  • Participate directly in approval workflows

  Client accounts remain free for all invited clients.

• Never Wonder Which Document Version Is the Right One

  Every consulting firm has experienced it.

  A document gets revised several times, shared through email, copied into multiple folders, renamed, and eventually nobody is completely sure which version is current.

  TimeCatchApp 1.8 eliminates the document scavenger hunt.

  Benefits:

  • Keep all versions together automatically
  • Preserve complete document history
  • Quickly understand how a document evolved
  • Eliminate searching through folders and emails
  What's New:

  • All document versions are stored together
  • Every version is timestamped
  • Version history remains intact even if the document is renamed
  • Previous versions remain easy to find and review

  The history follows the document—not the filename.

• Preserve Completed Projects Exactly As They Were

  Projects often come back months later.

  A client has a question. An auditor requests information. A team member wants to understand what happened.

  The challenge is that projects continue to change after completion, making historical records difficult to trust.

  Benefits:

  • Preserve project history exactly as completed
  • Protect project records from accidental changes
  • Maintain confidence in historical financial and project data
  • Restore projects instantly when additional work is needed
  What's New:

  • Archive completed projects
  • Prevent new time entries, document changes, and note changes
  • Retain the project's exact state for future reference
  • Unarchive and resume work in seconds

  No guessing. No digging through old folders. No wondering what changed after the project ended.

• Spend Less Time Re-Navigating the Application

  Small interruptions add up.

  If you've selected a project and then navigate elsewhere in the application, you shouldn't have to find it again when you return.

  What's New:

  • Project selection is now sticky
  • When you return from another screen, your selected project remains exactly where you left it, helping you stay focused on your work
• Make Final Invoice Edits Before Sending

  Sometimes an invoice is perfect except for one detail.

  A phone number changed. An address needs updating. A special term needs to be added.

  Previously this meant recreating the invoice.

  What's New:

  • Invoice PDFs can now be edited while in Review mode
  • Make final adjustments, save the PDF, and send it to your client as usual
  • A small change that removes one more administrative hurdle from your day.

What’s new in v1.7a released : 24 June 2026

• Payments: In-app, out-of-app, however you want, whatever currency you want + crypto
  • Fully integrated Stripe payments. You can now send an invoice with a payment link. Connect Stripe to your account, and have the payment directly deposited.

TimeCatchApp does not charge any fees for this service.
  • Direct payments will be automatically entered into your payment ledger.
  • You still have the option for sending invoices directly to the client outside of the system and manually entering the payments. You also have the option of uploading invoices into the system that you manually generate. If these are paid via the Stripe direct payment, then the ledger is updated automatically; if these are paid outside of the system, then you must enter the payment manually for it to be shown on the ledger.

  • When sending an invoice to a client, the project owner will be cc’ed on the email.

  • On the invoice page, clients can filter by project. Icon will show for projects where payment is due.

• Templates: Build once, use forever
  • Templates now can contain documents, and not just links. Templates have the full capabilities of projects, and can be used to jump start your projects. Even the most complicated project can now be created and started in seconds. Try it today!
• User Collaboration: Flex your team size to match the project
  • When adding contributors to a project or task, a collaboration request is sent instead of directly adding the user as a contributor. This is in alignment with our opt-in philosophy.
  • To support this, there is now a collaboration button at the top of the dashboard.
  • Collaboration requests and acceptances are included in the audit trails for complete transparency of user access
• Calculators: Information you need, with one click. Faster than internet search.

You can also choose other payment options to have your client send payments to you (e.g., check).

    - Date of payments
    - Amount
    - Payment Method (Stripe or Manual)

  • TimeCatchApp never deletes your data. If you switch from a larger plan to a smaller plan (e.g., Expert to Pro), your data are not deleted, but some data may be hidden if the amounts exceed your current plan.

What’s new in v1.6 released : 05 February 2026

• Templates:
  • This is a completely new feature that will save you more time. You can now create project templates. Templates allow you to create an entire project structure that can then be applied to multiple actual projects. For example, suppose you had projects that consistently had the same 5 tasks, and you wanted to assign features of those tasks including expected hours, length of time to complete, what successor tasks would be, etc. Templates allow you to set that up and then when you start a new project you then simply modify the fields that need modifying, and the rest are ready to go. You want a miniature, free CRM system? We created a template for that. You have other ideas for templates? Feel free to create them! You can control who you share the templates with: The span of sharing can be Everyone, Your Company, or only You.
• Invoicing:
  • On invoicing, you can set up different rates to take effect at points in the past or the future. This is useful for (a) correcting rates from the past; and (b) setting up inflation adjustments in the future.
  • If a clock has been included in an invoice (either draft or already sent to the client) and you change the rate, the new rate will not affect that clock. The new rates will only affect those clocks not yet invoiced.
• Audit Trails:
  • Regulatory-grade audit logs are not kept if you are on the standard plan. If you want the full regulatory-grade audit logs, then you will need to add that feature in your plan. Click on the your profile button on the top right corner of the dashboard, go to the Plans tab, and from there select and pay for the regulatory-grade audit trail.
• Clocked-in Time Management:
  • For projects where you need to spend a specified amount of time per billing period (e.g., weekly, monthly), you can track the time in the time tracker under the time clock. You can refresh this time by going to the project action menu > Other > Reset Tasks Time. Once you do this, the page will refresh and your time under the clocks will be reset back to 0.
• Management:
  • Company address field has now been changed to a rich text editor
