Can my manager see every app I use with Timely?

Timely is built on a 'Privacy by Design' philosophy where the captured 'Memory' timeline is visible only to you; managers and team leads cannot see your raw data until you specifically choose to log and publish those entries to a public project.

Does Timely offer resource planning or just time tracking?

Timely features a robust 'Planning' module that allows teams to visualize capacity, drag and drop scheduled tasks onto a calendar, and compare planned hours against actual AI-tracked time to prevent burnout and over-servicing.

Which third-party apps does Timely integrate with?

Timely offers native integrations with popular project management and productivity tools like Jira, Trello, Asana, and GitHub, and can sync data with QuickBooks and Xero for streamlined accounting and client invoicing.

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

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.
