The Toggl-sponsored Binpress programming contest is now over and the winners have been announced. Toggl Team congratulates all the winners!
Binpress, a marketplace for source code, is planning to launch several smaller contests during the next couple of months. There are a lot of coders among Toggl users who might be interested in participating 
Our user Krasen Borisov has translated Toggl into Bulgarian. Many thanks to him for contributing!
As a reminder I’ll remind all our users that it is easy to translate Toggl into your own language or update current translations.
We added a new workspace setting, “Only admins can see billable rates”. You can find the setting on the “Settings” -> “Workspace” page:
When enabled, it hides all billing and billable rate related information from regular users, only workspace administrators can see rates and amounts. If disabled (the default), everything works like it has been, i.e. regular users see billing information they have access to.
Hey,
We just released a new version of our Android application. The biggest change is that now it includes a widget that gives you fast access to your time entries. It looks like this:
The app has been uploaded to Market and if you installed it from there, you should get an update notification soon. You can also download the new version from our extras/widgets page. I’ll also remind you hackers out there that our Android app is open-source.
Hey,
We released a new version that includes a new setting for workspaces: “Only admins may create projects”.
You can find the setting on the “Settings” -> “Workspace” page:
If disabled (the default), everything works like it has before but when you enable it, only workspace administrators can create new projects.
We released a new version that amongst other smaller changes added a possibility for the reports to group time entries by tasks.
You’ll find the option to group under “Project report”:
We are also planning to add a more specialized report for tasks with task filters and progress information.
Stay tuned!

Hey,
Our users have translated Toggl into Brazilian Portuguese, which is now available to choose from the language menu at the bottom of the page when you are logged in.
The translation is about 88% complete, so feel free to jump in and help us finish it. Instructions on how to do it can be found here: http://blog.toggl.com/2010/01/now-its-easy-to-translate-toggl-into-your-own-language
Hey,
Good news. A completely new Toggl Desktop, re-written from scratch, will be launched soon. We – Toggl team and guys from Mooncascade – have built it using a novel approach to software development – Sprint48 – where were are trying to build a working version in just 48 hours.
You can read more about our sprint from:
The reason why we decided to drop the current Toggl Desktop and build a new one from scratch is that we reached a conclusion that the current one has too many issues and the attempt to use a web application as a native application has not worked for us (current one is a site specific browser, i.e. a website in a native container).
Here is a screen shot of what the new Toggl Desktop currently looks like
Improvements that the new Toggl Desktop will bring:
Here is a link to the new alpha version for:
NB! Keep in mind that the new Toggl Desktop is still in a very early development stage. There are many features missing, the design is not complete and there can be several bugs. However, if you are feeling adventurous, go ahead, try and let us know what your first impressions are
Cheers,
Toggl Team
Hey,
Like the title says, the old version of Toggl has been successfully dropped.
For old Toggl users: from now on, when logging in, you will be automatically redirected to the new version. All the data that you had in the old version is also present in the new version. You don’t have to do anything yourself but you might want to take a look at the introduction to new Toggl and the article on how to use the new timer.
For new Toggl users: nothing changes.
Cheers,
Toggl Team
