Say it once, and see who got it
Managers write the team a message and watch it land, checking out asks what happened at the end of the shift, hovering a name in the planner opens the whole person, and fixes tidy up teams, the week planner and leave.
One large thing, and two smaller ones around it. A manager can write the team a message and see it land. The end of a shift asks what actually happened. And a name in the planner sidebar opens into the whole person.
Say it once, and see who got it
A manager can now write the team a message in their own words. Give it a title, write the message, choose who gets it, this team or the whole organisation, and send. It goes one way: everyone gets it in their inbox and as a push on their phone, and nobody can reply to it. The send button counts the audience before you press it, so you know the size of what you are about to do.
Tick "Ask everyone to confirm they read it" and the message arrives carrying a button. One tap on "Got it" answers it, and the item leaves that person's Needs you list. The message then keeps a running count for the sender: sent, delivered, read and confirmed. Whoever is still missing can be reminded, once: the button says how many, and one reminder is all it will ever send, however many times it is pressed and by however many managers.
Everything sent lives on a new Broadcasts page, under the Inbox and marked Beta. It lists the messages newest first, with the date, who each went to and how many have read it. Open one and it names every recipient: whether the message reached their phone, when they read it, and when they confirmed. If you manage more than one team, you choose which team a message is sent from.
Checking out asks what happened
When a worker checks out, a card can appear on their dashboard with what just happened at the top of it: "Checked out 19:38", and under it the shift as it was planned.
It asks at most two short questions. Whether the break was taken: "Yes", or "No, I worked through", recorded as an answer and changing no times. And whether a check-out that ran past the plan, or came in early, or a check-in that was late, should stand as it is: the card says by how many minutes, and offers "Keep 19:38" beside "Set 19:28". Keeping writes nothing, and Skip is always there. None of it holds up the check-out, which has already happened. Times can only be moved inside the window the team allows for corrections, and once that has closed the card says so instead of refusing after the fact.
Managers decide all of this per team, on the team's time-tracking settings. There is a tolerance in minutes for a late check-out, an early check-out and a late check-in, each of which can be set to zero to never ask, and a switch for the break question. A break reported as worked through reaches the team's managers.
A person at a glance in the planner
Hover a name in the planner's sidebar, or reach it with the keyboard, and a card opens with the whole person in it: the roles they can work; the hours for the span on screen, what their contract asks for, what you have scheduled, and the difference between the two; their flexibility level with the events behind it; and any leave they have in that span.
Two shortcuts sit at the foot of it. "Open profile" is a real link, so middle-clicking it opens the profile in a new tab. "Only this person" narrows the planner's people filter to them, and the card steps aside so you can see the result. Three small tooltips that used to sit a few pixels apart are gone. Everything they said is in the one card now.
Fixes
An owner or admin of an organisation now sees every team in it without having to be added to each one: in the team switcher, on the dashboard, in the user menu and on the manage overview. A founder who had never joined their own team saw an organisation with nothing under it.
The week planner shows the right week the moment the page appears. On a device whose clock is off, the week number, the month and all seven day headings could arrive as one week and then jump to another.
A whole day of leave now credits exactly that day's target hours on the timesheet, so a full day off is a full day whatever the contract percentage. On a part-time contract with an awkward daily figure, a few days of illness used to come out a minute short in one place and a minute long in another.
A leave request needs an end that comes after its start, and unchecking "All day" now suggests working hours instead of leaving both ends at midnight, which stored a request of no length, printed in the lists as ending the day before it began. Leave requested from the phone counts as whole days in the team's own time zone.
Smaller, but sweet
- Every public page ends in the same footer now, and it carries an "Ask an AI about Plantime" row: ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Gemini, each opened on a question about Plantime in your language.
- A message keeps the paragraphs and blank lines you typed, and a long one opens up with "Show more".
