Release Notes: March 2026

Each month, we share a summary of what's new in Laurel, highlighting the product updates and workflow improvements we shipped to support fast, accurate, and compliant timekeeping. Below is a look at what we released in March 2026.

⏳ For timekeepers

Timesheets, predicted and ready for review

You've lived this moment many times: 6pm hits, you have a full day of work behind you — emails, calls, documents, meetings — and you feel completely overwhelmed. It's dinnertime, the kids are restless, but the timesheet needs to get done and you have no idea where to start.

Suggestions is the feature we built for that moment. Now, our latest AI model anticipates the matters or projects you worked on, then filters your captured work activity for each one. Suggestions pairs directly with Drag-and-Drop: click a Suggestion to filter your work activity then drag activities onto the Timesheet in one motion.

You review, make edits, and you’re done.

Time that goes where you go

Time doesn't stop when you leave your desk, and we did a big update to the Laurel Mobile App this month to make sure yours goes with you. Now, you have access to both timers and your captured work activity right from your phone.

What this looks like: Start, stop, and pause timers on the go; assign them to a matter and they show up on your Timesheet automatically, just like on the web. The new Activities tab lets you browse your captured work and create entries directly from mobile, and everything syncs continuously with the web.

When timekeeping fits into your schedule instead of interrupting it, that's not just a better product. That's a better workday.

Instant, accurate search results

If search has ever slowed you down by lagging or returning the wrong result (forcing the dreaded scroll), that's now been solved.

We made ten improvements to how search works this month. Type a partial word, a nickname, a client number — anything they'd use to start an entry — and the right result comes up immediately.

💻 For firm administrators

What gets captured is now your call

Some calendar events shouldn't make their way into Laurel. Now firm administrators have direct control over whether events marked "Private" are captured at all, and whether individual timekeepers can adjust that setting themselves. When capture is off, private events are dropped entirely, not just hidden from view.

You’ll find this setting in Customer Settings > Laurel Settings > Privacy Settings. Firm administrators now have what they've been asking for: a way to customize what shows up in captured work activity, and what doesn't.

💬 Requested & released

These improvements were built and launched based on feedback from our customers.

Find the entry you're looking for, faster

Timekeepers managing lots of entries within a single matter can now sort by the time an entry was created, ascending or descending, so the right entry is easy to spot without having to scroll through a shifting list.
