What's new in Half5
The changes you will notice in the app, by month, newest first.

The timeline starts with your suggestions
You first see what is still left to register; the day's individual events sit one click away.

Appointments and visits as suggestions
Calendar appointments on your phone and detected visits show up as suggestions and prefill the form.

A wheel on iPhone, the native time picker on Android, and on the web Half5 understands 1:30, 1.5 and 90m, with your usual durations as quick picks.

Leave in days
Register a full day, half day or a whole period at once; absences and leave requests appear in Approval and in their own report.
Learn more - Privacy
You confirm detected rides and visits first
What your phone detects stays private until you confirm it; the organisation chooses which rides still need approval after that.
Learn more - Hours
Reports that lead with the answer
Reports open on the current month and show the state of things first: hours against plan, work ready to invoice and projects over budget.
Learn more - AI agents
Connect AI assistants by signing in
Claude and other assistants connect to the Half5 server with a regular sign-in instead of a token, and you can see and disconnect them in the app.

- Approval
Approved weeks stand out
Each week is its own block that turns green once approved, and you can select and delete several registrations at once.

A ride without a customer is now named after its route and shows its distance, and start and end points are named as soon as the ride is detected.

Pipedrive integration
Contacts, notes and documents stay in sync both ways, and Pipedrive deals become projects in Half5.
Learn more - Rides
Bill rides per customer
Choose per customer whether rides are billed per kilometre, as a fixed amount or not at all; rides sit next to hours in Approval and Invoicing.
Learn more - Rides
Bill travel time
Charge the travel time to a customer at a share of the hourly rate, half by default, based on how long the trip took.

Contract hours shown while approving
Each week shows hours against the contract, flags too few hours or empty workdays, and can be filtered to people below contract.
Learn more - Timeline
The phone timeline works locally
The timeline in the mobile app reads from the device first, so rides and visits appear right away, even without a connection.
Learn more - Timeline
Review and register in one place
On the computer the timeline, suggestions and registration form sit side by side, so you can finish a day in one go.
Learn more - Privacy
Pair devices with a QR code
You pair a new device with a QR code or a six-digit code, and approve each device separately before it can see your timeline.
- Apps
Redesigned apps for iPhone and Android
The mobile apps now use your phone's own buttons, menus and navigation, with search as its own tab.
- Rides
Ride registration in the app
Register business trips in the mobile app, or have them detected automatically when you drive.

Your timeline travels encrypted between your devices and can now be viewed in the browser too, only on devices you approved yourself.

Productivity per employee
For each employee you see the billable share, hours worked against capacity and the split across projects and activities.
