What do you like best about Timely?

I've been using Timely for about 8 years now. I absolutley love its function. I use it on a daily basis. It integrates with all my tools. I do contract work and am constantly multi-tasking and switching between projects. It tough for me to fully track the exact hours that are needed. With Timely the time tracking is quick and clean. I love it too that I can go backwards in time and review all my past time entries for better invoicing to the client. It such a time saver ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

Nothing really. I haven't had a problem with it's use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It tracks my time wonderfully and doesn't skip a beat. I love it too that it tracks my location for when I am doing on-site work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Timely?

The memory app works wonders. Auto-track everything you do on your computer and you can easily add the work in timetables at the end of the day, tag client work, and make notes about the work you just did.

The UI itself is clean and elegant, no tutorial is needed to achieve what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

Some features shouldn't be under a paywall or a greater tier, like if a certain task was already billed to a client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Putting value into my hours that I work with client work. I needed a tool that could auto track the work I was doing during the day, and then I could just drag whatever I was working for a certain client without using multiple apps just to achieve one thing. Timely does everything that I needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Timely?

Great usability. Easy, flexible and a lot of options to track time, projects, budgets, ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

Difficult to think of downsides. Maybe that Timely is not automatically linked to our booking system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Timely is always solving problems that occur in a very timely manner. With the chat function, Timely is easily reachable.

Timely makes time and budget trakcing a lot easier and also gives you a nice overview of the hours that you performed which is useful for own use too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Timely?

1. easy to use

2. value for money

3. funtionality - servers its purpose

4. made my time usage transparent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

Not much to dislike - unless you want a complex solution to solve a simple issue (as I have seen on D365 or Salesforce). Timely is continuously improving and many suggestions have been made available. Personally I do not have errors with the Memory app and I think the 'AI' does its best to guess - with as few data as possible (GDPR) where to place my drafts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a consultant, by the end of the week, I used to "miss" or have "lost" time used on customers to invoice. With Timely this seldom happens. The activities (or memories as called in Timely) captured can be easily associated to a project.

As a team member, you get constantly interrupted by colleagues from the local or foreign offices, now I can see in Timely the time used for that.

I don't think individuals can multitask, but multithread, yes. And I do this a lot at work, jumping from task to task. Timely made my time used in different activities transparent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Timely is very easy to use and has a very clear and fun, modern interface. Timely offers everything you need for time registration: you can register time second by second with a few clicks and per file, you can register in files together with colleagues, you can print handy monthly overviews where you can indicatie yourself what is visible and what is not, you can insert as much text as you deem necessary or use tags, you can make changes easily and replace files, ... 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 dislike about Timely?

I have no complaints about Timely. I use it every day to track time by file and at the end of the month I get an overall picture. I have never had a problem with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Timely helps me to record my time per client, so that I can justify each service to both the client and myself as a company, accurately and in detail. 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.

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

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.
