Timely Reviews & Product Details

No one likes the task of tracking their time. It presents the dilemma of either constantly tracking how you are spending every minute, or reconstructing it later. Timely neatly resides in a tab in your browser, and its memory feature provides you the exact data to determine exactly how much time was spent on each matter. It makes it so easy to click over to the Timely tab and create an entry that I actually look forward to tracking my time throughout the day. The fact that it syncs across multiple computers means I see how my time was spent from any of my computers/work locations. Fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've had to interface to Quickbooks, which took a minute and may still require some adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using the Timely plugin for nearly two years now, and it has been a game-changer. Before this, I had to manually log my work hours, often worrying about forgetting something. Since installing Timely, tracking my time has become significantly more convenient and accurate, making my workflow much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since the last update, the auto-tracking has improved in accuracy, but I still wish it were just a bit more precise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been an early adopter of Timely. Have had it working for me for several years now. When I can see how I am using my time, then I can make better decisions about prioritising tasks. I love the AI within the app recently. It makes the time audit each week so much faster. And it makes billing for services so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am still a bit confused about how to categorise my work.

I wish that it was easier to sync with all my diaries.

And I would love to have my admin assist me with my invoice creation etc without having to pay another full subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use — interface is intiutive and user friendly, makes it easy to log hours and track work without knowing the software too well.

Automatic tracking - you can integrate Timely so that it records time spent on specific apps/tasks which you can then add quickly once you're going through your day.

Tagging - the tagging system means you can log hours for granular things which is very helpful from a management perspective so you can see who has spent time on specific projects. Very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to see a feature where it automatically fills in all the tasks you've completed in a day (e.g. adds all tasks/calendar inputs to your logged day after a prompt, then you could take out any as needed). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automatic tracking on each website and window used on the computer. I have multiple chrome profiles and work on multiple projects throughout the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it doesn't specify which email box I'm using and just lists as Gmail. Same with some other applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm a contractor/freelancer who is required to bill in 15 minute increments to multiple clients using multiple billing codes. As you can imagine this is burdensome and time consuming.

I tried several different time-tracking platforms which took almost as long as using pen and paper. Then I was recommended Timely by a colleague.

It took me a few weeks to get used to it, and it to me, but it is by far the best system I've used. The dreaded task that once took me an hour a week, now takes 15 mins. It runs in the background everyday, and at the end of the week I transfer the data to my system.

Importantly, it is accurate, seamlessly implemented and integrated, and relatively effortless. I would not go back to not having it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue I had with Timely was when for some reason it had logged me out and wasnt collecting my data for a week (I didnt realise until the end of the week). I had to go back to the dreaded figuring out my timetracking with pen and paper. I contacted customer support who within 24h had advised me of the issue (a system update) and provided instructions to rectify it. Then I was back up and running.

In my role, I log agency time. However, my brain does not like stopping to log time when I'm jumping from task to task or project to project. ADHD is great for getting things done, but the monotony of tracking time is such a vibe killer. When I track time manually in real time, I get less done and have less-than-chill time. The monotony is heavy. I use Timely daily.

In comes Timely and the single feature that has me on a paid plan, Memories.

I installed the desktop app quickly, and Timely has had my back ever since.

Now I just work and do my thing, and when I want to log my time, it is on my time, based on my energy, and it's even more accurate than just remembering and guessing later.

I'm sure the rest of the features are great, and I've never needed customer support since there have been no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I have come across so far, that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before, I loved everything. Now I love the usability of the application, and that's about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Timely memorizes what you do on multiple devices, such as what window you have opened on your machine and what location your phone is in. Their AI technology also automatically adds these memories to each project.

I love the sound of that; I want that. I think we all like that. What I thought Timely would mean for us isn't possible; it's sort of a lie. We used Timely for many years and were huge fans of the software. But after a while, we understood the effects it had on our organization, so we chose to cancel it and go back to manual timesheets.

Timely does have access to a lot of data that it can use to create a timesheet, but it doesn't really understand what you do. The concept fools you into believing that you have more accuracy and consistency; that you get to leave the "driving" to Timely, and all you need to do is give it some guidelines from time to time.

We saw, in a systematic (larger) way, that our timesheets became, in fact, less accurate. Some people in our organization started slacking on writing the timesheets because they felt they had all the historical data in Timely and could do it whenever, even months later. What we observed is that when using Timely, you end up leaving it up to an AI model that doesn't really know what you did to create your timesheets. At some level, it becomes random.

Timely is very good tool for project time sheet preparation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We need to create subcategories of projects like VA - Value Add, NVA -Non-Value Add. Also, if there are projects with categories like external customer billable versus Internal non billable projects, then this timely tool adds complexities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I often work on different topics. Thanks to the view in Timely, I can easily see in the evening how long I have been working on each topic. This eliminates the need to constantly switch the stopwatch on and off. With Timely, I can easily fill in my reports at the end of the day and devote the rest of the time to my work.

The AI sometimes makes interesting project assignments, so a small amount of manual work remains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
