I can't see any disadvantages with Timely and I recommend it to my colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Timely?

It provides management with clear data about software and website usage. It was installed easily to my device and able to be used daily with minimal disruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

For some websites or programs, it chunks your usage into one big block. My specific gripe is with Salesforce. I am usually working multiple cases or accounts, and it struggles to chop them up into their own block. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is allowing me to see where I spend the majority of my day and how each program is contributing to my overall workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Timely?

To begin with, it simply works. Zero learning curve, just install and it tracks in the background. Saves me huge mental effort and time of trying to track back what I've done across multiple projects to enter manually into previous apps I used. I can go back weeks later and see exactly what files I was working on and assign to projects easily. Although because it's so easy, I do it quickly rather than putting it off! It's also earned me way more than it's cost – because I can accurately bill rather than underplaying the time I've spent on a project. It also shows me how productive I've been or, just as often, how unproductive! I've never really bothered with productivity apps because the learning curve has been too much effort versus the potential gain – but this is one of the very few I've adopted, effortlessly, and so become a bit of an evangelist for. Timely's support have also been awesome whenever I've emailed queries about how something works – they'll proactively keen coming back to me with further info and updates. Really hope the company and product continue as it's indispensable for me now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

Only downsides are a couple of tiny feature gaps due to technical challenges of tracking different apps – most notably registering you're still on a meeting when you're sharing screen (in which instance it just tracks the application you're showing) – although they're recently released a Teams integration in response to this. Otherwise, genuinely just so easy for what I need it to do as a solo consultant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Timely solving and how is that benefiting you?

Effortlessly tracking exactly where my time is spent across projects – also enabling me to bill clients accurately and with evidence, should it be needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Timely?

Timely has helped me recover billable time that I otherwise would have missed when logging manually. It has also helped me get time in quickly and daily, rather than trying to figure out what happened days later. I also have it integrated via Zapier to add the time into our invoicing system, making everything seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

Sometimes the AI mis-categorizes time to the wrong project, so you can't escape reviewing it all, but that's more than offset by the time savings from not having to log your time manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Timely solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting my time entered quickly, accurately, and fully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Timely?

The app is a timely and efficient tool for individuals with ADHD. It effectively assists in keeping track of daily tasks and obligations, providing valuable support for those who struggle with organization and time management. The app's user-friendly interface and customizable features make it a great asset for individuals looking to improve their productivity and time management skills. Overall, it's a highly recommended solution for those seeking a reliable way to stay on top of their daily responsibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I found the lack of ability for Timely to keep track of the apps I use on my phone, as well as the time spent on phone calls and individual text messages, to be quite disappointing. It would have been incredibly helpful to have a comprehensive overview of how I spend my time on my phone, including which apps I use the most and how much time I spend on calls and texts. This feature would have provided valuable insights into my phone usage habits and allowed me to make more informed decisions about how to manage my time more effectively. I hope that Timely considers adding this functionality in the future to make the app more comprehensive and useful for its users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Timely solving and how is that benefiting you?

Timely is solving the problem of invoicing and time management between multiple clients. By providing a centralized platform for tracking billable hours and creating accurate invoices, Timely streamlines the process of managing multiple client accounts. This benefits me by saving time and reducing the likelihood of errors in invoicing. With Timely, I can easily track the time spent on different client projects and ensure that I am billing accurately for the work completed. This not only improves efficiency in my business operations, but also enhances the overall professionalism of my client interactions. Additionally, Timely's reporting and analytics features provide valuable insights into how time is being allocated across different clients, allowing for better decision-making and resource allocation. Overall, Timely's solution to invoicing and time management challenges has greatly benefited my business by improving accuracy, efficiency, and client satisfaction.

What do you like best about Timely?

The ability to integrate Timely with a suite of MS applications makes this an ideal tool for tracking time and tasks in a quick and simplified manner. I also appreciate the Report functions. Once configured and with a bit of working history the system assesses, organizes, preloads tasks to specific project categories which speeds up time reporting. The memory feature allows me to work all week, or month, and not worry about missing entries for reporting task and time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

I am not certain that I have figured out the best and most efficitent means to generate Reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
