What's New in Rize
Rize now runs the operating side of an agency or firm.
Profitability, resourcing, invoicing, timesheets, and permissions are built from automatically tracked time and available in the Agent, API, and MCP. The Asana integration is out of beta, and our SOC 2 engagement has started. If you run a team of 10 or more, start here.
Stay up to date with the latest features, improvements, and updates to Rize. Visit rize.io/changelog for the full changelog.
Labels and App & Website Rules
September 4, 2026
Rize is retiring categories. Migrated workspaces use Labels on time entries and App & Website Rules for tracking behavior. Labels use the time entry summary, window titles, and project context, and you can edit their prompts in Labels. Rules control focus, meeting, idle detection, do not track, blocking, window titles, and website URLs in App & Website Rules.
This release also adds external IDs to CSV exports, restricts team creation to workspace admins when Team creation is enabled, and saves client billing details on sent invoices. See the full changelog.
The migration is gradual. Workspaces that have not migrated still see the older settings until their rollout is complete; those are documented under Categories (legacy).
Rize for Agencies and Teams
August 27, 2026
A few weeks ago we launched the Rize Agent. Today we're shipping the operating data it runs on. Tracked time now feeds profitability, capacity, budgets, invoices, and client work automatically, with no manual timesheets, and every one of those workflows is available in the Agent, the API, and MCP.
1. Profitability
Revenue, cost, and profit by client, project, and member across the whole organization, from hourly, retainer, and hybrid contracts, per-member cost rates, budgets, and expenses. Available to organization admins and members with the Finance grant.
Learn more: Profitability overview | Cost rates | Full announcement
2. Resourcing: Utilization and Planning
Schedule assignments per member and week, set working days and holidays, import a plan from CSV, and compare scheduled hours to tracked hours per client and project. Available to organization admins, team admins, and Resourcing grantees.
Learn more: Resourcing and utilization | Full announcement
3. Invoicing
Invoices from tracked time by client and date range, with line item descriptions built from a format you control, PDF send, payment recording, void, and an organization-wide invoices page.
Learn more: Invoicing | Full announcement
4. Teams, Members, and Permissions
Two organization roles, four team roles (Admin, Manager, Member, Viewer), and Finance and Resourcing grants, managed from one organization Members page and enforced across the app, Agent, API, and MCP.
Learn more: Roles and permissions | Manage members | Full announcement
5. My Timesheet and Team Timesheets
My Timesheet for confirming your own week; Team Timesheets for daily hours, pending time, and capacity across a team.
Learn more: Timesheets | Full announcement
6. Asana Integration with Time Tracking
The Asana integration is out of beta. Tasks sync into Rize and time tracked in Rize is written to the matching Asana task, updated when the entry changes, and removed when it is deleted.
Learn more: Asana integration | Full announcement
7. API and MCP
Profitability, contracts, expenses, planned allocations, teams, members, and time approvals through the GraphQL API and MCP server, with the same permissions as the app. Invoices are not yet exposed.
Learn more: MCP server | MCP tool reference | GraphQL API | Full announcement
SOC 2
We've started our SOC 2 process with security-consultant.com. See rize.io/security for what is in place today. Read the SOC 2 changelog
August Update: Introducing the Rize Agent Toolset
August 10, 2026
Rize now has an AI layer built into the product. The Rize Agent can answer questions about your tracked time, AI Reports turn prompts into reusable analysis, Routines run recurring Agent prompts for you, and Skills, Agent Context, and custom tagging instructions keep guidance consistent across chat, reports, routines, API, and MCP.
1. Rize Agent
The Agent reads your Rize data and answers in plain language. It can reference clients, projects, tasks, time entries, reports, routines, and Skills, then link answers back to the records behind them.
Learn more: Chat with the Agent | Full announcement | August release notes
2. AI Reports
AI Reports turn a question into a saved report. Start from a template, choose the scope and schedule, then read finished runs in Rize, email, Slack, API, or MCP.
Learn more: Reports | Report templates | Full announcement
3. Click and Drag Time Entries
You can now move and resize time entries directly on the timeline. Drag the entry body to move it, or drag the top or bottom edge to adjust the start or end time.
Learn more: Manually Editing Time | Full announcement
4. Routines
Routines run the Agent on a schedule and save the result as a brief. Use them for start-of-day planning, end-of-day review, recurring team checks, and tag review.
Learn more: Routines | Full announcement
5. Skills, Agent Context, and Custom Tagging Instructions
Skills are reusable Agent instructions. Agent Context gives Rize standing guidance about a person, team, or workspace, and custom tagging instructions teach Rize how your team tags clients, projects, and tasks.
Learn more: Skills and Agent Context | Skills announcement | Agent Context announcement
6. API and MCP Agent Updates
The Rize MCP server and GraphQL API now expose more of the Agent layer, including report runs, routine runs, Skills, Agent Context, sign-up, and login URL support.

May 2026 Product Update
May 12, 2026
A big month for Rize. The headline: 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.
1. Background Tracking — Live Entries That Finalize Themselves
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.
Learn more: Tracking Overview | Suggestions Settings | Full announcement
2. New Suggestion Review Panel on the Day Calendar
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.
Learn more: Suggestion Review Panel | Full announcement
3. Rebuilt Time Entry, Task, Project & Client Modals
- 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
4. 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
Learn more: Suggestions Settings
5. Smarter AI 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
Learn more: AI Features
6. 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
7. ClickUp Sync Improvements & Integration Shelf Expansion
- 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
- Jira/Notion/Monday/Todoist now available as integrations via Zapier
Learn more: ClickUp Integration | Zapier Integration
8. AI Assistants Can Do More
- Connect Rize to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about your app and website usage via the new
list_my_apps_usedMCP tool - Voice dictation is smarter — it knows your clients, detects overlapping entries, and flags conflicts before you save
Learn more: MCP Server
9. 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
Learn more: Configuring Teams
10. 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.
Learn more: Setting Work Hours | Full announcement
Bug Fixes
ClickUp & integrations
- Time entries now attributed to the right person on multi-assignee tasks — 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. 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 total. Now capped at 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
- Non-admin org members no longer see billable rates (field-level auth + PDF column gating)
Clients
- Clients are no longer duplicated across organizations when imported
- Archiving and restoring clients across teams now behaves correctly
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
