Together with the release of iOS 16.1, Tyme adopts the shiny new feature Apple has to offer: Live Activities. Any running timers are now live on your lock screen. So you always have an instant view on how long a timer is already running, what task is active and how many hours you've already worked on that day.
With this version and the release of iOS 16, Tyme has integrated widgets for the lock screen. You now have an overview of your current working hours and running timers right on the lock screen. Tapping the widgets also works as quick access into the app. The widgets always show your times live. So all it takes is a quick glance at your iPhone to see how long you've been working today.
With this update it is finally possible to write or use plugins for Tyme. Using plugins you can export data from Tyme in any form or feed Tyme with data from other sources. The list of plugins is constantly being expanded and improved. Just have a look at Tyme > Settings > Plugins. If you have an idea for a plugin or want to develop one yourself, check out the Tyme Plugins page and let us know.
Time tracking is an important part of the workflow. Hours need to be recorded correctly for projects and tasks, invoices need to be created from the recorded times or the data needs to be transferred to other programs.
That's why we are happy to announce that Tyme will support plugins that allow data flows into or out of Tyme starting with the next release.
For the start we will provide some plugins and also plan to integrate new ones on a regular basis. As always, suggestions and ideas are welcome.
For those interested in the technology, there is already documentation (still under construction) for the plugins: https://github.com/tyme-app/plugins.
