The app is quite intelligent and makes time tracking a very low admin overhead. Usually time tracking becomes such a burden that people don't do it. Timely makes it so easy and quick - I am able to do a week's tracking within 30 minutes.
Reporting is also easy, straight forward, and accurate, and it makes our budget tracking and reporting a breeze! Additional to the reporting available on the app, we also have built a Power BI dashboard to further integrate with our other data sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing really. Sometimes that auto classification learns a bit slowly, especially when there are some changes, but it is easy to rectify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that timely tracks my time whehter I'm working from the office or at home. No matter where I am putting the hours in, Timely finds them and aggregates them. Any work I do when I am signed into one of my devices is captured, whether it's short web searches or long meetings. I have many different clients, and I do different kinds of work for each one. Timely is able to capture my work in a consistent way so I can demonstrate the value of my time to my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Timely doesn't yet have a way to capture the time I spend on client phone calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Timely app automatically fetch time spent per each task and then you can put them in timesheet per each separate project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Timely records all tasks and you need to segregate it between production and non production time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It works great. Maintaining time records is super simple and the UI is great. It does exactly what it says, so I highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Don't have any disliking factors. Works as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
