The long-awaited integration with Planner is finally here! You can find it under Settings – Integration:

The instructions are also displayed above, but in a nutshell you have to fill in your Planner account name and the API token (found under My Profile in Planner). Automatic sync is optional.

What will be synchronized?

• Team members, clients and projects are imported from Planner.
• Team members, clients and projects are exported to Planner (effectively keeping the two lists in sync between two applications).
• Sub-tasks in Planner become (planned) tasks in Toggl; this works in both ways.

Please note that the first time you sync, it might take a couple of minutes to complete, depending on the amount of tasks. And archived projects will not get synced, in case you were wondering.

As always, your feedback is appreciated!

Welcome to the new-look-Toggl!

You probably already found out we have a new look on all public pages. The new design should be cleaner, we also revisited site’s content to be more informative about Toggl’s features and different usage options.

Let us know how you like it!

Here’s what you’ll get with Planner:

• ‘birds-eye’ view of your team’s plans over coming weeks (up to 16 weeks timespan)
• change plans easily by drag and drop
• keep future tasks in view in icebox
• use recurring tasks by making them ‘stick’
• form subtasks to make more detailed plans

There will be a complete integration with Toggl, allowing you to export your clients and projects into Planner and then importing tasks back to Toggl, allowing you to track time to them.

We are waiting for feedback as always!

To use the pre-payment feature please select number of months you wish to pay for and click on a button “Pay”. You will be prompted for payment channel. Proceed as usual following the instructions on screen.

After making a successful payment your current balance is displayed under your plan description (see below). This balance is deducted automatically when next payment is due. If there is insufficient balance in your account your credit card or PayPal account will be billed automatically. You can add more funds if necessary at any time.

You can always change the plan, your balance will be deducted by correct sum automatically. Please note that the current balance cannot be withdrawn from the account.

If you have any trouble with new pre-payment features or any other Toggl-related issues, please contact us through “Ask a question”-link inside Toggl.

The link “View project” will take you this projects view. Here are couple of other new features – first, the project page has been re-ordered so that team and tasks are at the top, to provide easier access to most used functions. Another, this time a pro feature is setting rate for team members within a project:

Just click on “set rate” and you can set individual rates for team members, which are then used in reporting. If no individual rate is set, project or client specific rate is used.

As always, your feedback is appreciated (just use the “Ask a question”-link within Toggl)!

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

If you are still using the old version, you might want to get familiar with the new version. Just click the “New version” link at the top of the page when you are logged in:

Also, be sure to read the introduction to new Toggl and the article on how to use the new timer.

Like always, let us know if you have any questions!

We are announcing a public beta version of our new product – Planner.

Planner is a web application with the main purpose of managing your team’s schedule. It:

• gives you a birds-eye view of your team plans during the next couple of weeks;
• allows you to change plans very easily using drag and drop;
• integrates with Toggl which means you can import your team, clients and projects from Toggl into Planner.

Visit Planner at www.plannerhq.com, try it out and let us know what you think.

Thanks!

Toggl Team

We experienced some performance issues during the upgrade that were caused by server configuration. We are sorry about that and everything is working fine again!

Cheers,

Toggl Team
