TallyHo Product Updates

April 2026

• 3 May 2026 - Task durations can now be shown as hours and minutes (e.g. 2h 30m) instead of decimal minutes — toggle the preference in Settings under “Duration Display”. Timesheets and invoices have also been updated to use this format, replacing the previous imprecise decimal hours notation (e.g. 1.6h). Extracted shared parseUserSettings utility, eliminating four duplicate implementations.
