Collaboration Comes to Time

From the start, the plan for trodoro Time was simple — no account required, track your hours, own your data. That hasn’t changed. Even as we add new features, we make sure to keep simplicity front and centre. Freelancers don’t always work alone. We collaborate on projects, log hours against the same clients, and need to see what colleagues are doing.

As we build collaboration into trodoro Time, we’re making sure to do it without compromising on our ambitions for simplicity, efficiency, and privacy.

Sharing that just works

Start a collaboration with a colleague, choose which clients and projects to share — then syncing happens automatically through iCloud, the same way your photos and notes already do.

A subtle badge shows whose hours you’re looking at, and a filter lets you quickly sort whose hours you want to see and export.

A more solid foundation

Behind the scenes, we’ve done significant work to make sure trodoro Time and the rest of the trodoro suite share a single, unified data layer. In practice, this means even more reliable and faster syncing — both between the apps you use and across the collaborations you’re part of.

We’ve also taken the time to clean house — reducing the amount of code, simplifying how the app starts up, and ticking off nice-to-haves from our backlog. The kind of work you’ll never see, but that gives the app the fast, responsive, and reliable feel that makes it a pleasure to use.

Where we are

The collaboration feature is currently in internal testing, and we’ve fully switched to logging our own time in our projects with trodoro Time. The core flow works — invite someone, share a project, see each other’s hours. What’s left is polish and hunting for bugs. We’re not rushing this. Collaboration is the kind of feature where “almost works” is worse than “not available yet.”

More to come.
