Miru Update: Workspace Switcher, Multi-Recipient Invoices & i18n (April 2026)

Miru Update: Workspace Switcher, Multi-Recipient Invoices & i18n (April 2026) is focused on one thing: less operational drag for billing teams.

Miru open-source time tracking gets a workspace switcher, multi-recipient invoices, holiday year view, and full i18n on 6 settings pages. See what shipped this week. We write from operating experience, not trend-chasing.

New Features

Workspace Switcher in the Sidebar

If you belong to multiple Miru workspaces, you no longer need to log out and back in. A new workspace switcher in the dashboard sidebar lets you jump between organizations instantly. One click, no page reload drama.

Multiple Invoice Recipients and Client Primary Email

Invoices can now be sent to multiple recipients. When creating or editing an invoice, you can add additional email addresses beyond the client’s primary contact. The client model also now supports a primary email field, so the right person gets the invoice by default.

Holiday Year View and Holiday Schedule

The holidays settings page now includes a year view — a calendar-style layout showing all configured holidays at a glance. Planning PTO around company holidays just got easier. You can now manage a full holiday schedule from one screen instead of scrolling through a flat list.

Bug Fixes

Invoice Editor Overhaul

The invoice editor got significant attention this week:

• Multi-currency support: Draft invoices now correctly handle multi-currency line items and responses. Previously, switching currencies mid-edit could produce mismatched totals.
• Totals sync: Invoice preview totals now stay in sync with line item edits in real time.
• Auto-generated invoice numbers: New workspaces no longer start with a blank invoice number. The first invoice is automatically numbered.
• Editor preview hydration: The editor preview pane now properly hydrates, and client financial fields (like payment terms) are hidden from the preview where they don’t belong.

Profile and Settings Fixes

• Profile hydration: The settings profile page now correctly loads saved data from the user context, including date of birth.
• DOB validation: The date of birth picker now prevents selecting future dates. (Yes, someone tried.)
• Phone validation: Profile phone number fields now enforce proper validation before saving.

Custom Expense Categories

Custom expense categories were silently failing in some edge cases. They now work reliably across creation and assignment flows.

Internationalization

Six settings pages received full i18n treatment this week, bringing Miru closer to complete localization coverage:

• Profile settings summary
• Preferences page
• Automation settings
• Holidays settings
• Report category labels
• Billing settings

If you’re using Miru in a non-English locale, these pages now respect your language preference instead of showing hardcoded English strings.

Refactoring and Infrastructure

• Centralized discardable models and timesheet audits: Soft-delete logic and audit trails for timesheets are now consolidated instead of scattered across models.
• Invoice mailer and PDF alignment: The invoice email and PDF export now share presentation logic, so what you see in the email matches the PDF attachment.
• Path-filtered Reek checks: Code smell detection now runs only on changed files in CI, cutting feedback time on PRs.
• Dependency security fix: Updated the addressable gem to patch SNYK-RUBY-ADDRESSABLE-15924312.

Test Suite Improvements

The test suite got more resilient this week:

• PDF service specs stabilized with better fixtures for parallel test runs
• CI timeout expectations fixed for PDF base service
• Profile validation test coverage expanded
• Falcon system specs and invoice workflow tests hardened

That’s the week. If you’re running a consultancy or freelance business and want better time tracking and invoicing, start tracking time for free.
