What’s New at Hubstaff: Q1 2026 Feature Updates

Every quarter, we ship updates based directly on how our customers utilize Hubstaff. That means listening to the friction points they run into, the workflows they’re trying to streamline, and the visibility they need to make better business decisions.

Q1 of 2026 was no different. In this roundup, we’ll cover everything we released from January through March. 

If you’re already using Hubstaff, you may have noticed some of these features popping up in the product already. If you’re just getting started, this is a good look at where Hubstaff is headed. 

Let’s get into it.

New Time & Activity report

Introducing the new Time & Activity report: A redesigned UI with improved performance, flexible grouping and column sorting, custom filters, and saved views. With the new report, you’ll gain better visibility into employee performance and improved customization, making it easier to share and analyze data with key stakeholders. 

Manual time request review: Discard hours that exceed limits

With this update, Hubstaff now automatically discards any manually added time that exceeds your configured limits to keep timesheets accurate and aligned with the rules you’ve set. The goal? More accurate timesheets for streamlined payments. 

Work session report: New ‘Group By’ view 

A new daily ‘Group By’ view shows users the first start, last stop, and total duration of the day in a single, clean row.

Updated: Hubstaff developer docs

We’ve launched an updated Hubstaff developer page to make building with our API easier and more transparent than ever. Explore clear documentation, endpoints, and examples to help you integrate Hubstaff into your workflows faster and with less friction.

Reporting for Insights

With Insights, you can now export the Performance page as a PDF. It’s perfect for sharing with leaders, clients, or your team and turning data into action fast. The best part? It’s just the beginning. Next, we’ll bring Work time classification, Focus time, Meetings time, and more into the Time & Activity report.

NEW: Hubstaff Reseller Program

We’re excited to officially launch the Hubstaff Reseller Program. Whether you’re an MSP, consultant, or operations partner, this portal makes it easier to manage clients and get paid accurately for the value you’re providing.

Batch actions for manual time requests

You asked, and we listened. With the new batch actions feature, users can approve or deny multiple manual time requests at once, saving time and reducing manual effort.

Monthly PTO accrual

With the new Monthly PTO accrual feature, users now accrue PTO monthly for more predictable balances and flexible time-off policies.

New updates to the performance page

We’ve added start and stop times, a new idle time widget, and idle time tracking in the leaderboard so you can gain a better understanding of how work actually happens across all areas of your business.

API endpoints: Time Off

Users can now build deeper integrations with new Time Off endpoints. Automate requests, approvals, and time-off management via the Hubstaff API.

At Hubstaff, we’re a customer-led business. In other words, your feedback is crucial in helping us uncover what to build or prioritize next.
