Product Updates - October 19, 2025

This is a feature rich release! Pro users now get AI insights in their weekly email report, tweak time spending preference, add time logs from dashboard and a pesky bug fix.

Features

🔮 AI insights with time spending preference

Now, Pro users also receive AI insights in their weekly email report. If you need a refresher on what the weekly email report contains, you can check out the previous post: Product Updates - May 25, 2025 as well.

When you’re creating any activity, you’ll also see a dropdown to choose how you want to spend your time.

Screenshot of a 'Create Activity' window with fields for activity name (set to 'YouTube'), time spending preference (with options Neutral, Spend more time, Spend less time), a color selection bar with various circles, and a blue Create button at the bottom.

Based on this preference and how much time has been logged this week compared to the earlier week, if the delta is lower or greater than 25%, you would see a recommendation on what actions might help to better achieve your goal.

Screenshot of AI Insights dashboard showing weekly activity patterns with sections for Miscellaneous and Browsing. Miscellaneous activities totaled 3h 15m, up 59.84% from last week, with a suggestion to categorize activities or set a timer. Browsing time was 1h 7m, an increase of 28.85%, with advice to use website blockers or timers for better management.

The feature is still in BETA as I’m still working on how to generate the most helpful tips along with avoiding any valid activities slipping through the LLM.

⚡ Add activity time entry directly from the dashboard

Earlier, you had to go the activities page, start the activity from there, and visit dashboard to see your changes. This was an extremely cumbersome process. This is no longer the case. Now you can simply search from the dashboard and start the activity. No navigating between pages just to start the activity.

🗺️ Find the currently running activity at the top in the activities page

Earlier, if you were on mobile, had an activity running and you were to visit the Activities page, you had to either scroll or search to see where the activity is present. Say goodbye to that 👋. Now, whenever an activity is in progress it would be at the top and after stopping, it would animate back to the original place it was before.

Bug fixes

🕛 Glitch on phones while editing time from dashboard

There was a bug where if you were to edit a time entry’s time from dashboard, it would glitch out on Android. It wasn’t a huge deal as after a couple of clicks it used to work. However, my friend Shreyas (definitely checkout his company) reported that the issue was severe on iPhone. Since he is also a Pro customer, he has direct line to me which forced me to fix this issue.

I would be gradually implementing some more things which would help you get more from InstaClock. Stay tuned!
