Rize Release Notes

Rize v3.0.15 is the first desktop release since v3.0.7 — and it's a big one. This update makes Rize dramatically lighter on your system, fixes the black screen issue on Windows, and squashes a handful of bugs that were causing the app to misbehave. More releases are coming this week.

IMPROVEMENTS

Massive performance improvements

Rize was using far more CPU than it needed to. We found that the dashboard timers were refreshing 60 times per second — but since they only display minutes and seconds, once per second is plenty. This single change drops CPU usage from ~25% to ~1% when the dashboard is open. You'll notice cooler laptops, quieter fans, and longer battery life on both macOS and Windows.

Lower memory usage

The app was reading your settings from disk every time it needed them and reloading the window tracking module every 15 seconds. Both are now cached in memory so Rize runs lighter and responds faster.

Smaller app download

We cleaned up what ships inside the app package — removing development files, source maps, and unused code. The result is a smaller download and faster startup.

Better activity tracking for uncategorized apps

Apps that Rize hasn't categorized yet now have their window titles tracked. This means you'll see more useful detail in your timeline instead of just an app name with no context.

FIXES

• Black screen on Windows — Some Windows users saw a blank black rectangle instead of the dashboard when opening Rize. This is now fixed.
• Widget timer freezing — The floating timer widget could freeze or show the wrong time because it stopped updating when it wasn't in focus. The timer now stays accurate at all times.
• Dashboard flickering on resize — Rapidly resizing the Rize window could cause the dashboard to flicker or glitch. Resize events are now handled cleanly.
• Background data sync issues — In some cases, data updates would pile up in the background and never get cleaned up, slowly using more memory over time. Fixed.
• Unexpected crashes on login changes — Certain account updates could cause Rize to crash if your login session had expired. The app now handles this gracefully.
• App crashes on fresh install — A packaging issue could cause Rize to crash repeatedly right after installation. The app package now includes all required components.

WHAT'S NEXT

More desktop releases are coming this week. As always, let us know what you'd like to see — we read every piece of feedback.

Rize v3.0.7 is here. The headline: admins can now fully manage time entries for their team, you can chat with your data inside Rize and Slack, reports got Group By, and the whole app is faster.

WHAT'S NEW

Slack Agent

Install the Rize Slack Agent and ask questions about your time data directly in Slack. Same AI, same data, no context switching.

MCP Chat in Rize

Chat with your time tracking data directly inside the Rize web app — no external AI tool required. Ask about your day, your team's hours, or project profitability in plain English.

MCP: Profitability & Events Tools

The Rize API and MCP now include profitability data and tracking events. Ask your AI assistant about revenue per client, billable utilization, or fetch granular activity data.

Reports: Group By

Group your reports by client, project, task, team member, or label. Each group shows a subtotal so you can see where time is going without exporting to a spreadsheet.

Timeline Notes

Add notes to any time entry for extra context — what you worked on, why something took longer, or a message for your admin. Notes show up in reports and exports.

Admin Time Entry Management

Admins can create, edit, and delete time entries for any team member. Entries show source labels — AI, AI Edited, or User — and team members now have titles.

Dia Browser Support

Rize now tracks activity in Dia, the AI-native browser from The Browser Company. No setup required — if Dia is installed and Rize is running, tracking starts automatically.

IMPROVEMENTS

Database performance

Major database optimizations make dashboards, reports, and the daily timeline load faster — especially for teams with months of data.

Automatic retry for failed time entries

If a time entry fails to save, Rize now automatically retries it on a schedule so nothing gets lost.

Load More for tasks, projects, and clients

Long lists now load incrementally with a "Load More" button instead of rendering everything at once.

FIXES

• End meeting early — Ending a meeting before its scheduled time now correctly stops the time entry
• Day report billable hours — Daily reports no longer pull in billable hours from the previous day
• Admin billable hours — Team-wide billable hour totals for admins now calculate correctly
• Lofi music channels — Updated stale YouTube channels so focus music keeps playing

See all bug fixes and improvements

WHAT'S NEXT

More reporting features, continued performance work, and deeper integrations. As always, let us know what you'd like to see — we read every piece of feedback.

The Rize Slack Agent is here (beta). Ask questions about your time tracking data directly in Slack — same AI, same data, no context switching.

NEW

Chat with the Rize Slack Agent

Install the Rize Slack Agent, mention @Rize in any channel or DM, and ask a question. The same AI that powers MCP chat in Claude, ChatGPT, and the Rize web app is now available where your team already communicates.

Use it for:

• Quick status checks — "How many hours has the team logged this week?"
• Project updates — "What's the billable total for Project X so far?"
• Personal tracking — "What did I work on yesterday?"
• Standups — Have Rize summarize each team member's day in your standup channel

Responses are grounded in your real Rize data — not generic answers. The app respects your workspace permissions, so team members only see data they have access to.

Getting started:
You can connect the Slack Agent in Settings → Integrations. You'll need to be an admin of both your Slack workspace and your Rize org to set it up.

WHY THIS MATTERS

• Agency owners running standups — Drop @Rize into your standup channel and get each team member's hours summarized before the call starts
• Project managers checking budgets — Ask "How many billable hours has the team logged against Project X?" without leaving the conversation
• Team leads monitoring capacity — "Who's over 40 hours this week?" answered in seconds, right in Slack
• Freelancers tracking their own time — Quick end-of-day check: "What did I work on today?" without opening another app

The Slack Agent is currently in beta. If there's anything we can improve, please shoot us a message — we'd love to hear from you.

You can now chat with your time tracking data directly inside Rize — no Claude, no ChatGPT, no external tool needed.

NEW

Chat with your data inside Rize

Open the chat panel in the Rize web app and ask a question in plain English. The same AI that powers the Claude and ChatGPT integrations is now built right into Rize. Ask about:

• Your time — "What did I work on today?"
• Your team — "Who logged the most hours this week?"
• Projects — "How much time has gone into Project X?"
• Profitability — "Which clients are most profitable?"
• Patterns — "Am I spending more time in meetings this month vs. last?"

Answers are grounded in your real Rize data. No exports, no dashboards, no pivot tables — just ask.

WHY THIS MATTERS

• End-of-day reviews — Ask "What did I work on today?" and get a summary without scrolling through your timeline
• Client billing prep — "How many billable hours did I log for Acme Corp this week?" — answered instantly
• Team leads checking in — "Who on the team hasn't logged time today?" without pulling up a report
• Pattern spotting — "Am I spending more time in meetings this month vs. last?" — trends you'd never bother building a report for

Two new categories of data are now available through the Rize API and MCP: profitability and tracking events.

NEW

Profitability data in MCP and API

The Rize MCP and API now expose profitability information — billable hours, hourly rates, and revenue per client or project. If you've connected Rize to Claude, ChatGPT, or the Rize Slack app, you can now ask questions like:

• "Which clients are most profitable this month?"
• "What's our billable utilization rate this week?"
• "How much revenue did Project X generate last quarter?"
• "Which projects are losing money?"

The answers are grounded in your real Rize data — hourly rates, tracked time, and billable status — not estimates.

Tracking events in MCP and API

Tracking events — the granular 15-second activity chunks that Rize captures — are now available through the API and MCP. These are the raw building blocks behind your time entries. You can fetch and batch them for:

• Building custom reports on exactly what apps and sites were used
• Auditing how time entries were generated from raw activity
• Feeding detailed activity data into your own tools or dashboards
• Asking your AI assistant "What was I actually doing between 2pm and 4pm?"

Events give you the most detailed view of tracked activity — useful when time entries alone aren't granular enough.

WHY THIS MATTERS

• Agency owners tracking margins — Ask "Which clients are profitable and which are losing money?" and get real numbers, not guesses
• Ops teams building custom dashboards — Fetch raw 15-second tracking events via the API and pipe them into your own BI tools
• Developers integrating with internal tools — Pull profitability and activity data into your CRM, invoicing, or project management system
• Team leads auditing time entries — Drill into the raw events behind a time entry to see exactly what apps and sites were active

Reports now support grouping

Pick a dimension — client, project, task, team member, or label — and your report reorganizes around it.

NEW

Group by client, project, task, team member, or label

Instead of scrolling through a flat list of time entries, you can now group your report by:

• Client — See total hours per client at a glance
• Project — Break down time by project within each client
• Task — Get task-level granularity
• Team member — See who logged what
• Label — Group by AI-assigned category (e.g. "Meetings", "Planning", "Communication")

Each group shows a subtotal, so you can quickly spot where the most time is going without exporting to a spreadsheet. Combine Group By with date range filters and the existing search bar to slice your data exactly the way you need it.

WHY THIS MATTERS

• Weekly client reviews — Group by client to see total hours per client at a glance, then drill into projects within each
• Resource allocation — Group by team member to spot who's overloaded and who has capacity
• Invoice prep — Group by project, check the subtotals, and copy them straight into your invoice without a spreadsheet
• Understanding where time goes — Group by label to see how much of your team's week was "Meetings" vs. "Planning" vs. "Admin"

You can now add notes to your timeline. Just click "Add Note" from the bottom of any time entry and add any additional context there.

NEW

Add notes to any time entry

Click on a time entry and add a note. Use it for:

• Adding context that Rize's AI may have missed when creating your time entries
• Providing details that feed into AI-generated summaries
• Giving extra signal for automatic tagging rules
• Leaving context for your admin or team lead
• Annotating entries for invoicing or client reports

Notes are saved with the entry and show up in reports and CSV exports — so the context travels with the data, not just in your memory.

You can also see your notes on the timeline as small dots — hover over them for a quick preview without opening the entry.

Whether you're a solo user adding reminders for yourself or a team admin reviewing someone else's hours, notes make it easy to capture the "why" behind the time — not just the "how much."

WHY THIS MATTERS

• Better AI time entries — Rize uses your notes when generating time entries, so the more context you add, the more accurate your entries get
• Smarter auto-tagging — Notes feed into your automatic tagging rules, helping Rize assign the right client, project, or task
• Cleaner invoices — Add "what I worked on" to each entry so your exports and client reports have real context, not just hours
• Team communication — Leave a note for your admin explaining why something took longer or what you focused on

Timeline Notes is currently in beta. Let us know what you think — we'd love your feedback.

Managing time entries for your team just got a lot easier. Admins can now create, edit, and delete time entries on behalf of any team member — directly from the app.

NEW

Create, edit, and delete time entries for your team

As a workspace admin, you can now:

• Create new time entries for any team member
• Edit existing entries — adjust the time, client, project, task, or billable status
• Delete entries that were logged incorrectly

This is useful when a team member forgot to track something, when you're reconciling hours at the end of the week, or when onboarding someone who hasn't built the Rize habit yet.

Source labels: AI, AI Edited, User

Every time entry now shows how it was created:

• AI — Rize generated this entry automatically
• AI Edited — Rize generated it, and someone made changes
• User — A person created this entry manually

This gives you and your team transparency into the source of each entry — which are fully automatic, which were touched up, and which were entered by hand. Helpful for auditing, trust-building, and understanding how much of your time tracking is truly hands-off.

Titles for team members

Team members can now have a title (e.g. "Senior Designer", "Project Manager") visible in the Members view. Useful for larger teams where roles matter for reporting and billing.

WHY THIS MATTERS

• End-of-week reconciliation — A team member forgot to track Friday afternoon? Create the entry for them instead of chasing them down
• Onboarding new hires — Enter time on behalf of someone who hasn't built the Rize habit yet, so your reports stay accurate from day one
• Auditing and compliance — Source labels (AI, AI Edited, User) make it clear how each entry was created — useful when clients or finance need a paper trail
• Team org at scale — Titles keep your Members view organized as your team grows past the point where everyone knows everyone's role

Rize now supports Dia, the AI-native browser built by The Browser Company (the team behind Arc).

NEW

Automatic tracking in Dia

If you're using Dia as your daily browser, Rize will pick up your tabs and categorize your browsing activity automatically — the same way it does for Chrome, Arc, Safari, Brave, Edge, and other supported browsers.

• Tabs and URLs are captured and categorized using your existing keyword rules
• AI tagging works the same as any other browser — clients, projects, and tasks are suggested based on the sites you visit
• Available on macOS today

No setup required. If Dia is installed and Rize is running, tracking starts automatically.

WHY THIS MATTERS

• Early adopters switching browsers — If you've moved to Dia, your time tracking doesn't skip a beat. Same automatic categorization you had with Chrome or Arc
• Accurate reports without manual entry — Dia browsing time shows up in your reports alongside every other app, so nothing falls through the cracks
• Teams using multiple browsers — Some team members on Chrome, others on Dia? Rize tracks both the same way — no config needed

A round of performance improvements, a new pagination pattern, reliability upgrades, and important bug fixes.

IMPROVEMENTS

Faster load times across the app

We've optimized the queries behind dashboards, reports, and the daily timeline. Pages that previously took a few seconds to load especially for teams with months of data are now noticeably faster. The biggest gains are on:

• Dashboard widgets that aggregate team data
• Reports with large date ranges
• The daily calendar view for heavy trackers

No action needed on your end the improvements are live for everyone.

Automatic retry for failed time entries

Previously, time entries that failed to generate would get stuck in a "generate failed" state and stay there. You'd lose tracked time with no easy way to recover it. Now Rize automatically retries failed entries on a schedule until they succeed. We've seen a significant drop in "generate failed" entries since adding this.

Load More for tasks, projects, and clients

Long lists of tasks, projects, and clients now load incrementally with a "Load More" button instead of trying to render everything at once. If you have hundreds of tasks or dozens of clients, the page loads faster and scrolling is smoother.

FIXES

Ending a meeting early now ends the time entry

If you left a meeting before it was scheduled to end, the associated time entry kept running until the original end time. Now when you end a meeting early, the time entry stops with it so your tracked time matches reality.

Day report no longer includes billable hours from the previous day

The daily report was sometimes pulling in billable hours that belonged to the day before inflating your totals and making the numbers hard to trust. Fixed. Each day's report now only includes entries that fall within that day.

Admin billable hours now calculate correctly

Admins viewing team-wide billable hour totals were seeing incorrect numbers in certain edge cases. The calculation has been corrected so the totals match what you'd get if you added up each member's entries individually.

Lofi music channels restored

A couple of lofi beats YouTube channels that power the focus music player had gone stale. We've updated the channel list with fresh sources so the music keeps playing.

A big month for Rize. The headline this cycle: Rize now creates time entries live, reviews them in a brand-new panel docked to the day calendar, and ships a new way to calculate Work Hours that finally matches how teams actually think about their day.

NEW

Live Time Entries — a new way to track

Instead of batch-creating suggestions after the fact, Rize now creates a tracking time entry on your calendar in real time as you work. Better suggestions, more accurate clients, projects, and tasks, and team color on every entry.

The new Time Entry Review experience

Click any pending entry and a panel slides in on the right with all your context — apps, websites, event timeline, tag suggestions with confidence scores, and the ability to create a task in Rize, Linear, or ClickUp without leaving the panel.

New Work Hours calculation method

Work Hours can now be calculated from your time entries instead of your categories. Simpler, more accurate for multi-team users, and it excludes break time the way most teams actually want it to. The old category-based calculation is still supported.

ALSO NEW

Refreshed Time Entry, Task, Project & Client forms

• The forms you use every day are cleaner and more consistent
• Tasks and projects now have due dates
• Mark individual time entries as billable with a single toggle
• Create ClickUp, Linear, or Jira tasks from the same form as native Rize tasks

Pick how Rize generates suggestions

• New Suggestion Mode dropdown in Settings → Time Entries with three options: AI, AI + Keywords, or Keywords only
• Use the Time Entry Size slider to lean toward shorter or longer entries

Customize your timeline

• Show or hide any column on the vertical timeline
• Drag columns to reorder them
• Rize remembers your layout — the timeline opens the way you left it

Smarter auto-tagging

• Auto-tagging now pulls from more signals — keywords, past entries, calendar events, and linked tasks — so more entries are tagged correctly without you having to touch them
• Every tag suggestion now tells you, in plain English, why Rize suggested it

ClickUp improvements

• More reliable two-way sync, especially if you connect ClickUp to multiple Rize teams
• New Sync non-member tasks setting for teams that want to include tasks owned by people without a Rize account

AI assistants can do more

• Connect Rize to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about your app and website usage
• Voice dictation is smarter — it knows your clients, detects overlapping entries, and flags conflicts before you save

New admin controls

• Admins can turn Tasks, Projects, Clients, Categories, and Billable Hours on or off for the whole organization
• Profitability and Invoicing are now on by default for new organizations

FIXES

ClickUp & integrations

• Time entries are now attributed to the right person on tasks with multiple assignees — If you logged time on a task you didn't create, it was being pushed to ClickUp under the task creator instead of you. Fixed.
• ClickUp tasks owned by people without a Rize account are no longer skipped when syncing
• Reconnecting ClickUp no longer drops sync events
• Brand-new ClickUp tasks now sync immediately instead of waiting for the next sync cycle

Tracking accuracy

• No more phantom 5-minute "No activity" entries — Some users were waking up to dozens of tiny tracking entries that crystallized overnight (one user found 97 of them spanning midnight to 4 AM). All four root causes are fixed.
• Work Hours no longer counts future time on today's view — A calendar entry running 2pm–9pm, viewed at 8pm, used to add the full 7 hours to your Work Hours total. It's now capped at the current time.
• Weekly breakdown no longer swaps meeting time and break time
• Tracking entries no longer overlap meetings on the timeline

Reports & dashboards

• Historical Performance dates no longer show the wrong month for US users
• Single-day reports no longer return two days of data

Clients

• Clients are no longer duplicated across organizations when imported
• Archiving and restoring clients across teams now behaves the way you'd expect

UI polish

• Mobile navigation menu rendering fixed
• Sidebar team icons now display correctly when collapsed, and the sidebar opens by default
• Tag pills no longer push other controls off the row
• Tooltips and activity bars render correctly across the app

WHAT'S NEXT

Next up: a rebuilt Reports experience, more bug fixes, and continued polish across the app. As always, let us know what you'd like to see — we read every piece of feedback.

Two calculation methods

Work Hours is one of the most important metrics in Rize — it shows how much you actually worked in a day. We've heard from a lot of you that the old calculation didn't quite fit how you think about your work, especially when you're across multiple teams or trying to exclude breaks. So we've launched a new way to calculate it.

Head to Settings Time Entries and you'll see a new Work Hours Calculation Method dropdown with two options:

• Time entries (the new default)
  Work Hours is calculated from your approved and pending time entries. Clean, simple, and tied exactly to the work you actually logged.

• Categories (deprecated, still supported)
  The original calculation. Sums time spent in focus, meeting, and break blocks plus time in work categories.

Why we changed the default

The time-entries method makes things a lot simpler especially for people working across multiple teams. Your Work Hours total now lines up exactly with how much time you committed to each team, and it naturally excludes break time without you having to configure anything.

Hover the Work Hours bar on the calendar and you'll see the team-color breakdown so you can tell at a glance how today's hours split across teams.

Keep the old behavior if you want it

If you preferred the category-based calculation, it's still there. Switch to Categories in Settings Time Entries and nothing else changes. We'll continue to support both.

Fixes shipped alongside

• Work Hours no longer credits future time
  A calendar entry running 14:00 21:00, viewed at 20:03, used to add the full 7 hours to your total (including the 3 hours you hadn't worked yet). Now it's capped at the current time.

• Weekly breakdown no longer swaps meeting time and break time
  A long-standing reporting bug, fixed.

• The "Review Time Entries" button counts only entries actually awaiting review
  Tracking and segmenting entries are in-flight, not pending, so they no longer inflate the count.

How it works

Reviewing your day used to mean bouncing between a separate Time Entry Review Inbox and the little popups on the home calendar. We've rebuilt the whole experience into a single panel that slides in next to your calendar — with all the context you need to review and approve fast.

Click any pending time entry on your calendar. The calendar zooms in and the review panel slides in on the right. The entry shows the team color it's associated with — your default team set in timeline settings, easily changed in the panel.

Hover the events on the left to see specific activity for any moment in the day. You'll see the same event timeline inside the panel for the entry you're reviewing.

Everything in one panel

• Time, billable, description — Edit the time range, mark as billable, and edit the description right in the form. (We removed the title field to keep things simpler.)
• Tag suggestions with confidence — Client, project, and task suggestions appear with a confidence score. Accept or dismiss in one click.
• New task suggestions — When Rize detects work that doesn't match an existing task, it suggests a new one.
• Manual tagging — Tasks, projects, and clients can still be added manually. Generate new suggestions on demand.
• Context panel below — Top titles for the entry's time range, top apps, the full event log, and a tag panel with suggestion confidence scores.
• Create a task from the entry — Create the task in Rize only, in Linear, or in ClickUp — without leaving the review panel.
• Merge, split, and regenerate — All still available, right inside the panel.

A smoother flow

Hit accept on a suggestion and Rize moves you straight to the next pending entry. Exit the panel and the calendar zooms back to your regular view. The whole experience is designed to make reviewing a day feel like a few quick decisions instead of a chore.

We've also updated the underlying logic for how suggestions are created. You should see noticeably better client, project, and task matches.

We've changed how Rize creates time entries. Instead of batch-creating suggestions from your activity after the fact, Rize now tracks live — and the difference shows up in better suggestions and more accurate clients, projects, and tasks.

What changed

Previously, Rize would track all your activity and then intermittently create time entry suggestions in your timeline. Now Rize creates a tracking time entry on your calendar in real time as you work. Because we're processing live, we can do a lot more pre-processing — which means better suggestions and more accurate entries.

• Live tracking entry — A new entry appears on your calendar the moment you start working.
• Click to finalize on demand — Click the tracking entry and it processes immediately: segmenting splits it into smaller entries if needed, then generating creates the title, description, and tag suggestions for each one.
• Team color on every entry — Every time entry now shows the team color on its left edge, so multi-team users can see at a glance which team an entry belongs to.
• Live activity blocks — Hover the activity blocks to see live activity, also color-coded by team.

Why it matters

Live processing gives Rize more context and more time to think — which translates to better suggestions for clients, projects, and tasks. Instead of waiting for a batch job to crystallize your day after the fact, you see suggestions form in real time and can finalize them whenever you want.

This is part of a bigger redesign of the time entry experience — including a new review panel covered in a separate post.

Rize MCP is now available in beta

You can connect Rize to AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT and have a real conversation with your time tracking data — no dashboards, no exports, no pivot tables.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI assistants securely read from external tools. Plug Rize in once, and any compatible assistant can answer questions about how you and your team are actually spending time.

What you can do with Rize MCP

The biggest unlock is open-ended analysis. Instead of clicking through reports, ask the questions you actually have:

• How am I really spending my time?
• What projects are overrunning?
• Where can I improve efficiency?
• Which clients are most profitable?
• What work is not billable but taking up most of my time?
• Where should I incorporate AI into my workflow?
• What tasks should I automate?
• What patterns exist in my daily work habits?
• How much time do I spend in meetings vs. deep work?
• What tools or apps are consuming most of my time?
• How can my team become more productive?
• Where are we wasting time across projects?

This replaces manual dashboard digging with natural language queries. The answers are grounded in your real Rize data, not generic productivity advice.
