I love how Timely makes it so I don't have to keep writing down every detail of my time spent on different tasks. It learns which apps I use with which clients, and categorizes time accurately to the correct client without much effort on my part. I enjoy that it's super easy to use, especially since I can drag and drop various tools and apps to organize time spent. I appreciate being able to create color-coded buckets for different clients and how Timely identifies what I'm working on, linking it to the right client seamlessly. It makes tracking my time and splitting it between clients straightforward, ensuring I know how many hours I've spent on each client account. The initial setup was super easy, and overall, it gives me more time back by simplifying the time-tracking process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Timely has a new way of doing the time, and it probably works better for people who are kind of blocking out their time, but I don't like that feature as well. So I've stayed on the legacy version and hope they never get rid of it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out most about Timely is its hands-off approach to time tracking—it runs quietly in the background, logging the apps, files, and sites you use without requiring you to manually start or stop timers. By capturing your entire workday automatically, it eliminates the guesswork and stress of reconstructive timesheets, letting you focus entirely on your actual work while ensuring every billable minute is accurately recorded.

While Timely’s automated tracking is impressive, its biggest drawback is that the AI isn’t foolproof—it frequently misclassifies activities, requiring you to manually review and reassign entries to the correct projects. Additionally, it sits at a noticeably higher price point than traditional time-trackers, and essential features like task management cost extra rather than being included in the base plans. Combined with a clunky mobile app that lacks offline tracking, it can feel surprisingly high-maintenance for a tool designed to save you effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Timely because it greatly facilitates the allocation of time to my projects, especially when I'm interrupted by calls from other clients. This helps ensure a more accurate time allocation for each client with ease, something Timely does better than any other tool I've ever tried. I find the functionality that reads what I'm doing on my computer amazing, assigning the task correctly (almost 100%) to the right project. With the integration of Google Calendar, it gets even better. It's also easy to prove what I've done for clients through daily reports, something Timely makes simple to print. The setup process was very easy, which made me very satisfied. I find Timely extremely easy to work with, so the cost-benefit is worth the investment. I even recommended it to a partner agency.

Well, Timely still has some errors. Sometimes, any code fails and then is replaced. I don't exactly remember where the main errors are, but I feel that this might be a software update issue. I believe that over time it will become more and more stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to track time as a consultant. A few minutes each day gives great tracking and reporting. Can assign by client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The iOS app has never worked, but I found I didn't need it. Doesn't report on the total time I was active on the computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Timely runs in the background so I don't have to worry about tracking working hours. The timeline feature at the end of the day is great for visualizing how long I've spent on each task and noting distractions. Timely also helps divide work for multiple partners and provides accurate reports, complete with proof of work, making it really valuable for our team. The initial setup was super easy.

Sometimes Timely tracks Out Of Office (OOO) events from Google Calendar, and it ends up adding them to the timeline. Ideally, these events should be left unassigned instead of being integrated into the timeline, as it can misrepresent the actual work hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy and very performant to register my time, it also helps a lot with AI auto-commenting, and the support team is great too.

It is cheap and easy to integrate with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's been a really good experience so far; I don't have deslike to mention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it’s important to capture all the time I might otherwise forget. In our business model, time really matters—where we invest, how we invest, what’s next versus what we spend. Because of that, this is an important tool for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like it reviews all of my personal items too, and I don’t like that part. It should only capture things related to my domain. If I’m using Timely for my business domain, it shouldn’t capture anything from my other domains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m really enjoying the new autosheet feature it gives a much cleaner timeline view and makes batch editing so much easier, especially when managing multiple projects. The ai timesheet assistant is another standout addition, automatically tracking my work and reducing the effort of updating timesheets manually.

I also like how the customizable timeline allows me to adjust the granularity of my memories, so they truly reflect my work patterns. Features like memory rules and improved idle time detection make my logged data far more accurate. And the new upcoming task notifications are incredibly helpful for staying on top of deadlines.

I genuinely find Timely very helpful overall, and I appreciate how much the platform already streamlines my work. The only area where I’ve noticed room for improvement is the consistency of memory recording. There are times when certain activities don’t get captured, which can lead to small gaps in my timeline. If this could be made more reliable, it would make the experience even smoother. Other than that, I’m really happy with how the app performs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I especially like the fact that I can record my activities and confirm them when I have the time to do so, rather than being forced to do it while performing individual tasks or at the end of each task. I can also make these recordings cumulatively after a long time. Additionally, I can review my recordings and possibly modify them. Timely allows me to deduce some activities, such as offline ones or phone calls, which interrupt the flow but I can still see them thanks to the gaps in the log, and I can mark them manually.

I didn't have a very good experience with the AI-based automatic recognition system because it makes aggregations that I don't recognize, perhaps because I haven't classified the tasks very well and therefore I'm not helping the system in this regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Timely to track my working hours and bill clients accurately. I appreciate its memory functionality and how the 'candles' are always accurate. Timely makes it easy to capture everything while we're working, meaning I don't have to worry about proof of work. The initial setup was very easy, and it solves the error issues of logging time as it allows me to track everything that I need to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not have any dislikes for timely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
