"Timely is the best data tracking app for any organization."
5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

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.

What do you dislike about Timely?

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.

"Timely: Flexible Tracking and Easy Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

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.

What do you dislike about Timely?

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.

Response from Andrea Neri of Timely

Thank you for your great feedback! We’re glad Timely’s flexible tagging fits your style and helps you stay organized. We appreciate your suggestion about report editing and will keep it in mind as we improve. Thanks for being part of the Timely community!

"AI-Driven Time Tracker That Boosts Efficiency"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

I really appreciate the automatic time tracking in Timely that helps with my project and volunteer activities. The ease of transferring project time to QuickBooks for billing is a huge plus. I love how Timely's AI can automatically sort and categorize my work, which saves me hours each month. The Memory tool is fantastic because it tracks everything and allows me to review what's recorded without worrying about forgetting anything. It's also great that I can export my timesheet in a way that smoothly transfers to QuickBooks. Overall, the AI categorization and task description capabilities are major improvements over my previous experience with TimeCamp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I would like to change the task description that AI generates and have the AI learn from it. Sometimes, the AI can't quite determine what I am working on. An integration where timesheets automatically connect to the Time Tracking in QuickBooks would be immensely helpful as the current QuickBooks integration only works with invoicing but I have other line items in QuickBooks to add to invoices so I can't invoice through Timely.

"Ingenious, efficient and effective time tracking system"
5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

Two things: First their people, from technical support to customer service, were responsive, friendly, inquisitive and helped with both the tools and their effective utilization. Second is the memory.ai engine. It works. After a short period of clarifying what events were important - and which weren't important, memory picks up the important things and makes reviewing and recording time very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I have some concern that they are early-stage and at some point a very smart big company will acquire them and ruin the great service and product that they have created - and are creating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Time Tracker with Some Navigational Challenges"
4/5
What do you like best about Timely?

I like that I don't have to think about Timely much. It's been working in the background, which is really helpful for logging my time accurately. Plus, if I'm ever audited, I can prove what I've been working on or where I was. This feature makes it easier for me to raise invoices for the time I spent working on things. Overall, it has been sitting on my browser and working seamlessly without needing much attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I really find it difficult to understand how you organize things. I'm a clinician pivoting into consulting work, and I've not really known how to build for time in that way. And so I find it difficult to navigate projects versus tasks and just how to bill. It was difficult because I didn't understand what a project was and what a task was. And as a sole trader, I found it tricky to use. Also found it a little bit difficult to share with my executive assistant who was virtual at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AI-Driven Time Tracking Boosts Accuracy and Ease"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

I find Timely really valuable because it uses AI to automatically track what I'm doing and determines the tasks I did for each client. This feature saves me time as I don't need to remember to start or stop a timer or try to recall what was done last week. It's significantly easier to use, which means more hours get logged, making our margin tracker more accurate. Every member of our team has given it positive reviews, mainly due to how much time it saves us. Plus, the initial setup of Timely was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

The Google Calendar integration can occasionally go wrong. For a small number of people, it's picking up appointments and reminders set by their colleagues, not them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic system for dealing with time reporting"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

Time reporting is generally considered to be a real drag. Timely does its best to help by automating Time reporting and recording activities. Memory shows us what we've been working on and for how long - applications, files, emails, URLs and locations. Memory entries can be converted into Time report entries. We use Tagging to categorise time entries which makes analysis much more powerful. Technical support is quick, friendly and useful. We've looked at numerous different platforms; Timely is a standout leader in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

There are very few downsides to using Timely. Memory can get confused when generating automatic time entries but the benefits of having a full detailed record of what you've done massively outweighs that. It's a platform that gets constant updates and sometimes those changes can break some of our ETL routines but that's usually quickly fixed. The API is simple and comprehensive so the ETL issues are now a thing of the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Time Tracking with Insight Potentials"
4/5
What do you like best about Timely?

I like that Timely tracks what I was using with file or website names, making it easy to attribute activities to projects. I really appreciate being able to go back several weeks and still assign my activities to projects because I can see exactly what I was working on at any given time. The initial setup was very easy for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I wish the reporting had better customization and filtering. Right now it's organized by client but I'd rather be able to organize by project, so that I can fill in my timesheet more easily. There's also a great opportunity for getting insights out of the data, and right now I export my data to share with Claude, but that could also be done via a Claude Connector or integration.

"Timely - The King"
5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

The interface and the way Timely works are great. It’s easy to use without any difficulties, and it’s genuinely fun to operate. It also doesn’t make us feel overly watched or monitored, which is definitely a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

To be blunt, there’s really nothing negative I can say. Everything just feels better overall, and I genuinely don’t see any loopholes or problems. So I’d say there isn’t anything I dislike about it—if anything, that’s exactly what I like most about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Time Tracking with a Clean, User-Friendly Interface"
5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

Timely offers a clean and user-friendly interface that makes time tracking simple and efficient. The automatic time tracking feature is especially helpful, as it reduces the need for manual entries and ensures accurate tracking of work activities. The timeline view provides great visibility into how time is spent across tasks and projects, which helps improve productivity and planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

While Timely is very useful, there are times when the automatic tracking requires manual adjustments to ensure accuracy. Additionally, some advanced reporting and customization options could be improved to better suit more complex project needs. The pricing may also feel slightly high for small teams or individual users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
