Timely

Pros

I worked on a project for hours, and Timely automatically tracked my time, saving me from having to enter everything manually.

Cons

Sometimes, it didn’t capture smaller tasks like quick meetings, so I had to add those manually.

Pros

The best thing about Timely is that it lets you focus on your work first, time capture second. Traditionally within an organisation with time sheets you need to constantly keep on top of your time entries or it will snowball into a big mess by the end of the week. Timely allows you to just get on with things and perhaps at the end of the week, you just approve the timesheet pre-filled for you.

Cons

When I sign up my staff to the software it can be a little overwhelming to get your head around things, and some have had minor teething issues with the memory app tracking. Once they get going its full steam ahead.

Pros

Super easy to set up and use,it helps me track the work I do for our different clients much more easily.

Cons

I have not encountered any shortcomings for the period we have been using this software.

Pros

I liked the way that Timely visually assembled information to be seen en mass. It made the ability to see quickly and easily where time opportunities were for our business.

Cons

Timely was not quite what we were looking for. It's a good program but ultimately we were unable to use it in tandem with other programs we were more committed to.

Pros

Made it very easy to monitor and record time spent on a project

Cons

I didn't like that I had to download a tracking app.

Pros

I really like the memory function. Some days you are so busy you forget about tracking time (and thus missing income). But with memory I can easily see what I have done, when I have done it and how much time I spend on it. Clear overview of spend budget within projects.

Cons

The reporting function could use a little more branding, now it's just a standard template.

Reasons for Switching to Timely

Pros

I use Timely across 3 platforms - iPhone, iPad, Mac - and all work seamlessly to keep track of my billable (and unbillable) hours. The interfaces are simple to understand and to use, and I'm much more confident in my recorded time than with other methods I've used.

I appreciate how hard the Timely team works to add features to the product, and the company is responsive to my questions.

Cons

I pay a monthly subscription fee for unlimited project/client time tracking, which is great for Timely and would be fine for a consultant / lawyer / business owner who has multiple clients or projects to bill to. Most times I only have 1 or 2 projects on the go at once, and I'd like to see a "light" monthly fee added.

If you have billable and non-billable hours for a project/client, you have to set up 2 different projects in order to properly tabulate the hours and invoice amounts. Timely's "tag" feature doesn't really work to keep billable and non-billable hours distinct when it comes time to determine how much to bill the client.

Pros

I cannot describe how incredible it is. I am ADD and very creative. I have multiple clients and multiple contractors. The unique thing about timely is the memory tracker, which tracks my open windows, times, and even suggests clients. I never have to start and stop a clock anymore. At the end of the day, I pour a glass of wine and open the memory tracker, simply select the client, click save, and it takes me 3 minutes to MONETIZE my day! It's amazing. There are tons of other cool features, but this is my favorite one.

Cons

There is nothing not to like. I like it all.

Pros

Timely combines a simple, intuitive interface with smart back-end features to deliver the best time tracking solution, hands down. Having used a number of different time tracking apps I was incredibly happy to find Timely - it's user interface is beautiful, the tracking and reporting tools are simple and easy to use and the product team is continuously evolving the platform, adding new features and improving the system.

Cons

Minor glitches when saving changes, which rarely ever happen.

Pros

The most impactful option Timely offers is SMS reminders to my customers about their upcoming scheduled events. I hear time after time from my clients how much they enjoy the reminder three hours before the appointment. Once, we disabled the SMS reminders as a means to save money. Well, it ended up costing big-time because several of our clients forgot about their appointments and those sales were lost.

Cons

I wish replies to SMS sent from Timely were forwarded to either my email or SMS to my phone, vs having to log in to view any replies in a hard to navigate inbox.

Reasons for Switching to Timely

Pros

The visual, colorful, easy to use interface. The integration with Rescue Time, which helps me remember what I did.

Cons

None. I work in UI/UX and I have no constructive crtiticism for Timely. Well done.

Pros

There are days when I need to focus on a specific project or task and it’s very difficult not to get distracted. There are other days when I need to multi-task and juggle everything due to time and deadlines. This is why I decided to invest in a time tracking software to see how much time I spend working on specific tasks. I found Timely online and it’s phenomenal. I get this neat software to teach me to be more productive with the work I do. It has other features, but I mainly use it for this service and it has been great.

Cons

My main issue with Timely is sometimes it freezes and lags which means I have to reload the page. It doesn’t happen too often and thank God for that, otherwise I won’t get the accurate time I spend on my tasks.

Pros

It is very easy to use and it tracks calendar very effectively.

Cons

Combined view of task of team + additional user is not possible.

Pros

This software allowed our office to manage multiple practitioners schedules, and for some, allowed patients the option of online booking.

Cons

Unfortunately, Timely was unable to integrate with our practice management software. We chose to stay with Timely for scheduling, even though it wasn't integrated as it was so much better than the scheduler in our software package.

Pros

How easy it makes logging time and toggling between several projects every day. Great customer service too!

Cons

Some bugs at the moment, but we know you're fixing it. Still love Timely <3

Pros

Design, functionality, speed with which new features are released

Cons

In the past I've had some issues with reliability (lost hours) but this seems to have been fixed over the last few months

Pros

Being able to customize projects (which I used as task).

Cons

There is no way to calculate the amount spent on a particular project/task per week. I had to count the hours myself. That would be extremely beneficial for individuals who do grant work and use this app for one project with many different task (ex. 1. Meeting time with Partners = 4 hours this week, 2. Preparation time = 2 hours this week, 3. Developing Materials = 10 hours this week), etc.).

Pros

It works as a time tracking tool should work.

Cons

It's still not available on Android.

Pros

It imports your calendar to timesheets. This is a killer feature for me and the way I work. I can also easily reference emails, to do lists and rescue time data right in the UI. I use it daily and no longer stress about recording my time for large projects.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like beta software in that the UI can be slow or have a few small inconsistencies.

Pros

Memory feature and the app integrations are incredible, design is great

Cons

App integrations can be a bit buggy and my time zone doesn't seem to be fully supported.

Pros

It's a show that how your employee work in this month, year and days also show the work sheet. Employee will be how much busy schedule show in your boss. And also I can right how much time I do in which developing and solving issue. It will be inspire to time Paschal in any work.

Cons

If you have poor internet connection then it's work very slow and some data are not perfectly show it's perfect for boss and employee.

Pros

Timely provides customers with a variety of strong features that aid in time management optimization. With no need for human entry, the software's automatic time tracking correctly records the time spent on various tasks and projects. Users may detect productivity bottlenecks and take well-informed decisions thanks to Timely's user-friendly interface and visually appealing reports, which offer useful insights into productivity patterns. By taking into account their current obligations and workload, the intelligent scheduling feature assists users in making smart time management decisions. Timely's connection with well-known productivity programs like Google Calendar and Trello guarantees smooth platform coordination. In general, Timely makes time management simpler, increases productivity, and offers useful information for analysis and improvement.

Cons

Timely has a pricing issue that may be costly for solo individuals or small teams on a tight budget. Although the automatic time monitoring option is useful, some users might find their privacy at risk. To fully exploit Timely's capabilities and tailor settings to individual preferences, some initial adjusting may be necessary due to the learning curve. Despite the fact that the software offers insightful data, some customers could yearn for more sophisticated analytics capabilities for in-depth reporting and data analysis.

Pros

It’s quick to get up and running with Timely, entering clients and projects is a breeze. Being able to add a time or money budget is handy for those fixed-price projects – and Timely will send you notifications when you’ve reached a budget milestone (50 %, 80% and 100% of the allocated budget).

An essential feature for me is being able to track my timings across different devices – if I need to work on a project at home, all my timings from work are synced. I can also log in to my timesheets via a web browser, should I need to.

Creating reports at the end of the month when I need to do my invoicing is also a pleasure. Timely can export to Excel or PDF.

I don’t use the “Memory” feature of Timely much, but it’s been very useful on those occasions that I’ve forgotten to start a timer and need to refer back to what I was doing during that period.

Cons

No significant cons spring to mind. Being able to save more project colours as defaults would be handy, as I use a single colour for each client (based on their brand colours) which means opening a previous project to copy the colour, and then pasting that in for the new project.

Pros

Easy to use, friendly UI and a lot of report available (and possibility to share with external partners).

Cons

The AI add on doesn't really work and my laptop froze all the time after setting it up.
I add to remove it and I can't use this functionality.

Pros

Working as a freelance translator, I needed a tool to plan my daily schedule and I came across Timely. It's the best planning tool I've found so far. At a single glance, I can know if my schedule for the week/day is already full or if I can keep accepting new assignments. I also started tracking the time I spent on each of my projects, which allowed me to realise just how little time I spent actually working because ultimately my day was full of distractions. Timely has allowed me not only to keep track of my ongoing and future projects, but also to optimize my work time and it does so beautifully: it is very easy to use and visually appealing. There are tons of extra features that I don't use, such as automatic time tracking and project budgeting, but it's still perfect for what I need. Couldn't work without it!

Cons

Maybe, just maybe, it's a little "too large" for my needs, so to keep things minimal, a plan with just the basic features would be welcome.

Pros

Timely is so easy to use and very intuitive. It is so simple to set up new clients and projects and the connection to my calendar is great. My favorite feature is the reporting function that creates professional looking billing summaries that support invoicing. (I continue to use the old reporting format as that works best for me). One unexpected benefit is how much it has helped me track how I'm using my time. Having the dashboard visual that shows how my hours have been allocated and when has been very helpful for time management.

Cons

It's so minor but the range in colors for projects is pretty limited.

Pros

Timely tracks product inventory, package purchases, has a scheduling module, reports for sales and many other things, a place to write notes associated with each visit, and is simply easy to use.

Cons

The ONLY thing I'd say is that I wish if I entered a client twice, it would warn me before creating the client a second time. The good thing is that there is an option to merge customers if you realize you did create someone more than once.

Pros

I like planning my time toward multiple freelance by day and project, but love I can adjust time if things change. It really helps me keep track in all of the time and resources I put toward a project. I like the ability to pull reports, seeing how much time/money was planned vs. actually accrued.

Cons

There isn't anything that I least liked. I have used customer service once in my three years of using the service and it was pretty decent,

Pros

Timely has a nice and modern interface with all the bells and whistles one has come to expect from high end services. This service is what all the others should have been. Hopeful, more integrations will be implemented so that mass adoption can start.

* Planning is a very useful feature that I have not seen in other similar services.
* The ability to easily create projects; set budgets, hourly rates and so on is nice.

Cons

Windows(desktop Memory) and Android(App) does not seem to be prioritized as much as their OSX and iOS counterparts. This causes some frustration for me as I can see features arrive for the Apple products, but I have to wait 6 months until the Windows/Android equivalent.

Pros

Extremely easy to use across different devices. Customer support is great on the few times I've needed it.

Cons

I don't dislike anything. The company is good about bringing out new features, which I appreciate. Keep evolving the product!

Pros

As a freelancer, I rely on solid time-tracking to monitor my performance and give estimates for work, so naturally, I've used more apps than I can count. So far, Timely is my favorite. The UI, features, and glorious reports give it an extra edge over most apps I've used.

You can plan out your weeks of work in advance and it displays as nicely colored blocks that you can drag and drop if you need to shuffle tasks around. (You can also choose a custom color for each block!)

You can set an hourly rate for tasks or set a budget for a project and it'll tell you how much your hourly fee should be. I love how it integrates with my Google Calendar so I'm not going back and forth to see which calendar has what.

Cons

While I love the custom color feature, it would be great if Timely could automatically assign that color for future blocks with the same name.

Another useful addition would be to move a future task to the current week without having to type it out all over again.

Pros

Great interface and ease of use, it has become a really key tool for us for time tracking and scheduling work from start to finish.

Cons

Not many, all I would say now and again updates are released I would just like to see more quicker!

Pros

I love the ability to review the memories of work I have completed, I have easily increased my billable hours by 20% because I'm not guessing or estimating the time I spent on certain tasks. My clients love the timesheet reports, and I love how easy it is to use!

Cons

That I didn't find it sooner! The only problem I have had is that my timesheet details when shared do not share the worked to-from times, but that is easily corrected by exporting to a pdf instead, it just doesn't look as pretty.

Pros

The simplest of its features is one I love the most: the fact that your timer can count money and not just hours/minutes/seconds. As you start a new project you define a budget and an hourly rate and that's it. The reports you can export are cool. And obviously it's new intelligent features are awesome. With a few tweaks, you connect your timely account to the software you work on usually, so it automatically tracks time by software / project.

Cons

Honestly, just the fact it became a paid software. It was free in the old days and it was great!

Pros

The colors (I wish I could set my own standard palette, tho!); the balance up top, the flexibility

Cons

Sometimes it glitches and doesn't save my changes. I wish I could set a budget for a project and when it runs out, no more is added to my balance (because that's how my flat rate projects work in real life -- even though it is useful to know how long I have worked over my budget)

Pros

Organizing hours by client, contract; exporting to excel; ease of use; able to use across ALL my devices; accessible from anywhere.

Cons

Filtering for specific contracts in the reporting environment is a little clunky - not easy to select just one contract as the window disappears and you have to reselect it to get in and pick the e-contract of interest.

Pros

The AI memory feature of Timely is the most awesomest time tracking feature for any consultant who hates timesheeting. It tracks what you do on your computer, your appointments in Google Calendar and your location, so you can fill out your timesheets in a heartbeat. Also the customer service is great! Overall great value for your money.

Cons

It's very hard to come up with something.

Pros

Timely allows for effortless management regarding your appointments with clients and staff. The software is very simple and easy to understand. You can also access it on both mobile and desktop.

Cons

Timely does not have a free version, there is however a free trial, but if you plan to use the software you will have to pay for it. More options for personalized follow-ups to clients would be a nice addition as well.

Pros

- Easy to use
- Spend less time tracking hours
- Good reports that's used both for invoicing clients and track projects

Cons

- Time tracking simply isn't fun.
- Would've been good with a recurring budget for projects

Pros

Timely is a great tool to manage time and increase profitability on a project, it is a well recommended tool for project managers. We are using this tool to manage our various offshore projects. The feature set is so good that we are really happy as we get all the needy features like time tracking, profit/loss tracking, task assigning etc. Timely is a great platform to manage a project in all aspects. We are really happy with their service too.

Cons

The only problem that I see is with the pricing plans, please try to make it more advanced so as to keep with the new trends.

Pros

Design, usability, customizable features

Cons

Nothing!

Pros

Very simple interface that is easy to learn and use.
Manual time tracking is awful, but Timely automates almost the entire project-based time tracking aspect.
Very affordable

Cons

Some of the integrations to 3rd party applications don't function properly.
Customer support was hard to get ahold of when we had questions.

Pros

Easy to use and always available.

Cons

None so far.

Pros

My favorite feature of this software is the Memory app that works with it. This app tracks the software, websites, and programs that I use throughout the workday. If I forget to set the "timer" I can always go back and click on each tracked usage and add it to a project. This also tracks time on your phone, which would also be lost time and lost money otherwise. I have captured so much additional work time that would have been lost otherwise.

Cons

The only thing that I wish, is that I could apply payments to the bills that I run. Also, on the shared weblink of reports, if we could also show individual line items for each project, that would be great. I can only do that through an exported report at this point.

Pros

Great software allowing everything to run more effectively, timely and smoothly.

Cons

I found the system was effective and efficient. Timely Software enables systems processing to be faster, more effective and overall more productivity because people are able to run their appointments, schedules remotely and they are also able to send reminders to themselves. Timely allows customers to book thier tickets online in a secure manner. Excellent overall.

Pros

Ease of use. Powerful reports. Great support.

Cons

No complaints whatsoever. Can't think of any drawbacks.
