Timely is an automated time tracking solution that utilizes AI and a specialized Memory tracker to record every app and website interaction for efficient, precise billable hour management.

Try it out

AI-powered automatic time tracking for teams.

Timely eliminates the need for manual timers by using a proprietary 'Memory' tracker that runs in the background of macOS or Windows. It captures every document you edit, website you visit, and meeting you attend, presenting these activities on a private timeline that only the user can see. The AI engine then analyzes these activity patterns to suggest tags and group logs into specific client projects, improving accuracy over time through user corrections. Beyond individual tracking, Timely provides team-wide dashboards for monitoring project budgets, employee bandwidth, and billable versus non-billable hour ratios.

Pros

  • Utilizes an automated 'Memory' timeline that captures every second spent in files and browsers, eliminating the inaccuracy of manual start-stop timers.
  • AI-driven categorization learns your workflow patterns to automatically suggest project tags and descriptions for historical data entries with increasing precision.
  • Provides comprehensive project health dashboards that visualize real-time budget spend, internal costs, and team capacity to prevent project overruns before they occur.

Cons

  • The private background tracking app requires a consistent internet connection and high system permissions to accurately capture desktop activity datasets for the AI.
  • Pricing tiers are structured on a per-user basis with relatively high minimum costs, making it a significant investment for freelancers compared to manual alternatives.
  • The automated 'Memory' feature can sometimes mis-categorize overlapping browser tasks if users do not maintain clean separation between different client-related web research tasks.
