What do you like best about Timely?

I love the fact that I don't have to thing about timetracking during the day (or even the week) when I'm working. Timely keeps automatically track of everything I do during the day and AI helps to suggest which projects I could be working on.

Just a few checks at the end of the day (or even week) and my time tracking is done. Never forgetting to hit start again, which always happened to me before: I was alreay working for quite some time before I remember to hit start for this project (or even stop from the previous project I was working on).

I also love the ease of keeping track of everything I'm working on, the amount of the budget that's already been used, different report possibilities,... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

Last-minute calendar changes are often not synced and results in incorrect or missed suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Not having to think about time tracking. Being able to switch project quickly during the day and still allocate worked time correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Timely?

The allure of Timely lies in its ability to transcend the traditional boundaries of time-tracking. Its design acknowledges the complexity of multitasking, a common scenario in the contemporary work environment. By seamlessly integrating into the user's workflow, Timely captures every minute of the day without the need for manual input, a feature that's nothing short of revolutionary.

Perhaps the most commendable aspect of Timely is its intelligent use of automation. The application meticulously records tasks across various platforms, ensuring that no fragment of time is lost in the ether of busyness. This level of detail fosters a deeper understanding of how one's time is allocated, revealing insights that are crucial for enhancing productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

It would be great if I could link it to something like Jira where all my tickets are stored. Creating all the tags in the project on the project page and then going back to the hours page is a bit of a pain. It would be good to add new "tickets" to a project in the hours page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Multi-tasking across multiple pojects and making sure I am billing for everything I am acutally doing. I am not "losing" work and it not getting billed as I am continually swapping tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarah Roberts of Timely

Hi Aly, Thanks for leaving a Timely review - we're stoked you're loving it! 💜 As a fellow multi-tasker, I totally agree with the difficulties in assigning projects and super happy Timely is helping you with that. 👊🚀

Now, about linking up with Jira—we hear you. We do actually have a Jira integration and I've linked the support article below for you to check out. Also if you head to timelyapp.com/integrations you'll find information on Jira and all other integrations. Let us know if you have any questions - we're happy to help!

Thanks again!

What do you like best about Timely?

This application is excellent as it allows us to spend less time manually tracking our daily activities and inputting data into Excel, which used to be extremely tedious. I love how incredibly user-friendly it is, and the tags feature is fantastic. It enables us to generate project reports effortlessly by pulling information from the entire team with just one click. Definitely recommended for anyone required to report hours at work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

The reality is, once you start using this tool, you become quite dependent on it. You'll never want to go back to manually logging your hours. However, when it does fail, it's one of the worst things to happen, having to input everything manually again. Nevertheless, in my opinion, this application has no real downsides because of its extreme user-friendliness. I'd recommend it 100%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The application addresses the problem of manual time tracking and data entry. It streamlines the process of logging hours spent on different tasks or projects by automating the tracking process. This eliminates the need for individuals to manually record their time spent on various activities and then input that data into a separate platform or spreadsheet, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Essentially, it simplifies and centralizes the time-tracking process, making it more efficient and accurate for users who need to report their hours for work or project management purposes.

What do you like best about Timely?

Timely's "memory" function and phone app allow me to retroactively capture time accurately, which is great for those of us who often forget to log time as we work. I can focus on getting work done rather than timers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

It ouls be icing on the cake to have more integrations, but generally speaking it does exactly what it sets out to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As above, the key feature is accurate and reliable time entry after the fact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting on my team could be more user friendly - I typically am having to export and sort and there are so many details that it gets a little convoluted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Timely?

The daily calendar display shows me what documents, meetings, web pages, etc. I've accessed and for how long. This allows me to then record billable time against multiple clients in a single day. For example, Timely will display that I worked 9am-10am on Client Document 1, and also display that I attended a Zoom meeting 2pm-3pm for another client. I can then assign these tasks to client projects to support my billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

To provide a level of detail Timely needs to integrate with several apps like Outlook, Teams, web browsers, etc. With some clients I have an email account/calendar on their platform, and some of these clients do not allow me to share my calendar with external apps like Timely. This isn't Timely's fault, but it does mean that for certain clients Timely cannot automatically import my calendar to help me remember the hours I worked for that client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Timely helps track time spent on different work, by connecting to calendars, open files, web browsers, etc. Since I often do work for several clients in a single day, Timely displays this information so that I can properly record time spend with different vendors, making my monthly invoicing simpler and more accurate.

What do you like best about Timely?

Timely does everything in the background - you don't need to perform complex setups or remember to turn the timer "on" every time you start the next task. You just do the job: use your productivity apps, attend online meetings, work with mail, etc. Timely will record it and in 90% of cases even show you the context in the time log: file names, apps and windows titles, meetings titles. Also Timely gives you an opportunity to plan your workdays ahead: you can easily add planned activities for each day and then just assign spent time to these tasks. And the reporting - it's simply beautiful and easy to browse and adjust your hours where needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Timely?

Of course, Timely is not perfect, it utilizes AI and it needs to be trained and sometimes retrained according to your purposes. Sometimes you also have to resync your calendars to show the correct and up-to-date data, and I find it easier to work in the browser instead of the app provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's always a struggle for some people (like me) to track their efforts and time for projects on a daily basis. Most of us tend to leave this task to the weekends or, sometimes, even to the end of the month as during the working hours you are more devoted to delivering results. With Timely I can easily do the review each week to see what has been done, how much time I spent on the task or client's project and even see what hours were taken by distractions/procrastination. Now no more lost efforts, accurate timesheets and that's all with as little effort as possible.

There is also a possibility of planning your efforts throughout the week and additional functionality of Tasks which allows to break-down your project into tasks or epics (only 1 level of tasks is allowed). But this still allows you to specify efforts for a certain task and assign spent time to a certain task to make sure you are still within the budget. (Note: Tasks functionality can be bought separately). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Sarah Roberts of Timely

Hi Anton, thanks for your feedback - we're happy you find Timely so helpful as a consultant! 🚀⭐️ The more you use the AI, the stronger it gets for sure. But I'll pass on the message that you prefer the browser than the app! If any more questions come up, feel free to get in touch 👌
