• old Classic timer; it has been replaced by the new Classic;
• old API; view documentation and code samples about our new RESTful API;
• old Windows-only Toggl Desktop (version 1.0.3 and lower) – it has been replaced by the new cross-platform Toggl Desktop.

If you are experiencing strange behaviour, do a refresh to the web page or Toggl Desktop. Questions, comments and everything else can be posted here as a comment or you can write directly to our support mail address.

UPDATE: There has been a lot of complaints about missing features in the new Classic timer. Here is a list of things that we are improving in the very near future (hopefully we’ll manage to do it next week):

• search bar – will search from the task names again;
• click on a project name – will start a new task;
• title of the pop-out  window – will include the current task name in it.

We are soon going to implement global keyboard shortcuts for Toggl Desktop. The first shortcuts include starting and stopping the current task and creating a new task.

What do you think should be the default key combinations for these actions? You can leave your opinion in the comments.

Autopilot
Autopilot is now out of beta and inside Toggl Desktop. What is Autopilot, you ask? Autopilot studies the applications (and the words in the title bar) you use while tracking different projects. After a short study period, it can give you suggestions on what project to track, based on the application currently in focus. Since it matches your projects with the application and the words in the title bar then you can use the same set of tools on different projects and Autopilot can tell them apart.

When you have a tendency to forget switching off the timer when finishing a task, you’ll find Autopilot quite useful. It will also help you catch all the seconds when your work time is very fragmented across different projects.

If you get a chance to test-drive the Autopilot for a day or two, it would be great if you could fill out a very short survey (takes about 2 minutes) about how useful you found it. That would help us improve it.

NB! Autopilot works currently only with timer Nano! Support for the new Classic will follow soon. Old Classic will not have Autopilot support. You might want to check out the Autopilot FAQ page as well.

New Classic timer
You can now use the new Classic timer inside Toggl Desktop. It has been added to the list of available timers. Simply right-click the system tray icon and select “Timer Classic Nova”.

Improved offline support
Many small fixes to improve the behaviour in offline mode.

Download the new Toggl Desktop.

NB2! The new version is available for Windows and Mac. Linux users must wait a bit until we get Autopilot working their OS too.

Cheers,

Toggl Team

If you are unfamiliar with the Autopilot, check out its introduction/faq page.

You can grab it from the Toggl Desktop download page. Make sure to get the beta version. It works currently only with the Nano Nova timer and under Windows and Mac. Linux support will follow soon.

It would be great if you could test-drive it for a while and let us know what you think. To help us improve it, you can fill out a very short survey (6 questions) at Surveymonkey.

Cheers,

We are going to release the Toggl Autopilot next week. It is an extension to the popular Toggl Desktop.

Essentially, the Autopilot is a helpful little fellow, whose mission is to help you track your time.  It will study your behaviour by memorizing the projects you are tracking and the applications that are in focus while tracking. After a short study period, it can give you suggestions on what project to track, based on the application currently in focus.

The Autopilot is most useful when you have a tendency to forget switching off the timer when finishing a task. It will also help you catch all the seconds when your work time is very fragmented across different projects.

The Autopilot is currently in the beta-testing stage. We’re releasing it with a separate beta version of Toggl Desktop.

Changes:

• support for the new Nano Nova timer (still in beta stage); right-click on the system tray icon to change the timer;
  
• a fix for the “remember me” feature; Toggl Desktop will remember you again;

When you start your Toggl Desktop you will be automatically notified about the update. You can also download it from the Toggl extras page.

Cheers,

Toggl Team

We just released the new version of Toggl Desktop (v2.5) as open source. You can find the code at Launchpad.

The regular update procedure (the new version notification dialog) remains the same, so nothing changes for our users who are not interested in the C++ code. The new version is also available on our web page.

However, the new version brought some changes for our Linux users.

Since the new Toggl Desktop uses Qt4.6 and this is not yet in all the repositories then Linux users must enter a few commands to get the necessary dependencies. Here are the steps:

Ubuntu/Kubuntu

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta
sudo apt-get update
launch the installer

Debian

Unfortunately Debian repositories do not include the Qt4.6 yet (except the experimental), so Debian users will have to wait until the Qt4.6 is available in their repository.

The 64-bit Linux version will be available tomorrow.

UPDATE (Linux): You can now add Toggl Desktop to your repository sources list and use the native update mechanism:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:official-toggl/ppa
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install toggl-desktop

Cheers,

Toggl Team

If you have experienced difficulties starting/stopping/updating a task or tasks not being saved, try this: right-click on the system tray icon and click “Clear cache”. Then restart the application.

If you still have problems, write us an email to our support address (support at toggl com) or post the issue to our support forum at getsatisfaction.com/toggl.

We renamed the Toggl Widget to Toggl Desktop (v. 2.0). The new Toggl Desktop is a cross-platform application and will replace the old Toggl Desktop. The old one (which is for Windows only) will be discontinued. The old Toggl Desktop will remain functional, of course.

The new Toggl Desktop will take over all the functionality of the old one and there will be more. Soon, the new and very much improved autopilot will be available in the new Toggl Desktop. The new version of the application also has much improved offline handling.

Download the new Toggl Desktop!

Some notes on the installation/upgrade procedure:

• On Windows, the installer will first remove the old Toggl Desktop and the Widget (if you have them) and will then install the new version of the application.
• On Mac, it will be installed as a separate application and you’d have to remove the old Toggl Widget manually.
• On Linux, the Widget will be replaced by the Toggl Desktop automatically.

Timer Nano is the default timer with the new Toggl Desktop. You can switch to Timer Classic easily by right-clicking on the tray/dock icon.

There are also other updates:

1. Rounding options for the reports. Now you can control the behavior of the time rounding in reports. You can select whether to round up, round down or round to nearest. It’s a per workspace setting. The option is located under the workspace properties tab. NB! Premium workspaces only.



2. New project creation changes for Timer Nano. We removed the automatic new project creation. Now, instead of creating a new project immediately, the user has to confirm the action.



3. The Spanish translation is updated / improved. Many-many thanks goes to our fellow Toggl user Tito Morales from Mexico!

We hope you’ll enjoy the updates and let us know what you’re thinking!

Cheers,

Toggl Team

That means that you don’t have to have access to Internet to use Toggl Desktop.

There is one prerequisite: the first login has to be done while connected to the Internet. Toggl Desktop has to download your projects and tasks and save them on your hard drive.

After that, you can log in/out, open/close the app, create/delete/modify tasks without an Internet connection. The changes made while being offline will be uploaded to our server when Toggl Desktop detects the presence of a connection. You, as a user, won’t have to do anything.

Currently it is not possible to add clients and projects while being offline.

If your Toggl Desktop is currently running and would like to upgrade, then just close the application and reopen it. It will then give you the possibility to download the new version. Or you can just click here: http://download.toggl.com/toggldesktop/TogglDesktopSetup.exe
