"One of the best tracking systems for those who perform dozens of different short tasks every day."
5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

What I appreciate most about Timely is the ability to both retroactively recover all the things done and not manually tracked, as well as create events with the timer on demand. With my company, we do quarterly reporting of hours worked. For my type of work, it's extremely complicated to record everything and remember all the activities at the end. I found this tool very useful, even though the AI for association could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

They should improve the associative AI for projects, especially regarding the recording of time spent on specific sites (e.g., Google Meet), which then becomes complex to understand which meeting it was since the URL is agnostic. It would also be useful to include shortcut keys that are always activatable from Windows, as with other similar services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy time tracking"
5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

It's very easy to use. It can automatically track what programs you're using. Then, it's real easy to assign the different things to whichever project is applicable. Simple and easy to use UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

If you leave the program tracking your computer all the time, the log can get a little cluttered. And a few of the auto-logged things are named ambiguously so its harder to know what project it applies to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love how Timely makes time-tracking so simple, quick and easy! It makes it so easy to visualise and log where time is spent during the day. Great customisation too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still training the AI to adapt to some things :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Timely is the only way I can reliably track my time"
5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

The best thing about Timely is you don't have to think about it. I could never track my time with other apps/methods because I could never remember to hit start and stop. But Timely just tracks everything and you can go back and pull out the tasks ("memories") you need tracked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I wish there was a cheaper/simpler version for individuals. It's made for team operations and I'm a freelancer, so don't need 90% of the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"For auto-tracking and AI-based categorization by project, it's the best I've found"
5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

I've worked as a company of 1 for 20 years. In that time, I've tried all sorts of time tracking software as accounting for all the time spent each day is a critical need. Timely is the best solution I've found by far.

The key feature is that it takes the task of stopping/starting the tracking off the table and it just automatically tracks everything. Once projects are set up, it's not hard to use, and now I use Timely every day. My workflow involves simply doing the work that I do without starting/stopping anything (Timely runs in the background) and reviewing the automatic, project-based categorizations Timely does at the end of each day. The AI does a good job of auto-categorizing the time tracked into my projects, which saves more time--that said, I will typically "correct" its about 15% of its auto-categorizations. The whole process usually takes less than 5 minutes, and from there the Reporting features allow me to get a precise account of how much time has been spent on various client tasks. With this workflow I can bill clients for with confidence and I have the ability to further analyze the true cost of every project in terms of my own human time spent on various production tasks.

About the only thing it can't track is the time I spend simply thinking about a project, but I can hardly fault Timely for not reading my mind! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I use gmail and I wish there were a way to get a bit more granular tracking around individual email messages. For example, if I do block of emails to client A (12 minutes, client B (2 minutes) and client C (7 minutes) in quick succession within the same email session, Timely currently doesn't seem to allow me to parse those tasks out by project. I'm guessing this has more to do with Gmail than Timely, however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"TimeTracking made easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

It tracks all activities done on a computer, very helpful for tracking time spent.

It's automatic and you can even activate AI features which will learn how you assign time. This however I deactivated because I want the full control and I have such a diverse field. You can implement third parties like Office 365, with Outlook - very helpful to track the time spent on emails, project management software etc. Unfortunately not all of my programs are yet implemented but the ones I did connect work well. You also can set a timer and there is an app for the mobile devices.

The staff is outstanding, really you feel taken care of and they are very helpful in sorting out issues.

Collaboration with teams and managing projects is good although the reports are not very flexible but show you all the data you need. The standard Export is in xlsx, pdf and csv which gives you some more possibilities to make your own reports.

I am currently on the Premium Plan, subscribed for a year.

What is in the pipeline of the tracking is great, there will soon be some very helpful features.

I can recommend it especially as I value the support staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

If you have it installed on several computers because you work on different machines and do switch too quickly, there might be confusion... I often have to go to a remote pc of mine in a different office and this caused problems. Then it should be turned off on one of the machines.

What does not work reliably is the GPS... on the phone. When it works it is super helpful...the time you spent at a client's place is tracked and you can assign... but unfortunately this does not work most of the time.

The price is a bit high Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect balance between planning and time tracking for me."
5/5
What do you like best about Timely?

The memory tracker app is super useful for writing daily summaries of what I worked on at my day job, as it keeps track of Figma and google Docs tabs as well as Slack channels. The integration with google calendar and zoom is also useful, if not more because it gives good insight into actual time spent in meetings vs. the time scheduled for them. It was actually the feature that made me start using Timely again, as my tracking is now not solely dependant on my remembering to write the hours.

The Tasks and budgeting features are nice and help me with my freelance work without too much overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

Not as much of a timely-specific issue, but having to get the CTO/IT department to allow Timely integration is a downside if you’re using it alone in a larger company. But I can get by without a direct Jira integration, since the memory app keeps tabs on my work anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarah Roberts of Timely

Hey Samo! 🌟 Thanks a bunch for sharing your Timely experience! We're thrilled to hear Timely is helping you out! πŸš€

We're always working to make the integration process smoother. The Jira integration is on our radar - I've linked below to the support page. But please, if you're having anymore trouble, reach out to support - we're happy to help you further.

The fact that Timely has turned your work-life balance from stress to clarity warms our hearts. Your journey from "not enough work done" to pinpointing tasks and understanding time better is exactly what we're here for! πŸ™Œ

See how Timely improved
