Timely reviews

Timely is my go-to app to record my consulting and board hours

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Revolutionary for Time capture

Opmerkingen: As a business owner, it is fantastic to get accurate and 'timely' submitted time sheets from staff each and every week. For the user, once you find your preferred method of capture, it is a breeze from there in.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Used Timely to record time worked and tasks completed

Opmerkingen: Timely organizes time info visually very well.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Very big benefit to control the exact hours of work.

Opmerkingen: Timely has allowed our company to have a much more accurate accounting of work hours, since before we had to count hours manually, and sometimes we did not correctly account for overtime. Timely has allowed us to avoid distractions, since it sends us an alert when an employee has spent a lot of time on a website that does not contribute anything to their working day, in addition, it sends us alerts every time an employee complies or fails to comply with their exact arrival time during the working day, which has helped us avoid no-shows. I was delighted with the great functionality and overall benefit that Timely brought me.

Pluspunten:

1. Timely allows you to monitor and keep an exact record of the amount of time each employee has worked, you can record this information for up to 50+ employees simultaneously.2. Timely allows you to quickly export the data each time a working day has ended, we can import this data into our Payroll system for payroll payments.3. Timely allows us to count the time each employee spends on various applications during working hours, we can find out which applications they used during each working day.4. Timely allows us to accurately monitor the pages visited by our employees. This function is very useful because we can avoid distractions during working hours.5. This platform allows automatic accounting of overtime, it always detects when an employee is working overtime, it also detects when an employee has not shown up during the working day.

Minpunten:

Timely does not offer any type of silent mode, which allows us to monitor our employees without the need for them to know that we are monitoring them, this causes the disgust of some employees since they think that we do not trust their work skills. The rest of Timely's features have performed positively, with no complaints.

Lifesaver

Opmerkingen: It saves me a lot of money because I track time I missed otherwise. And in that way it is more fun to do!

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

moving on

Pluspunten:

Easy and simple to use Good value......

Minpunten:

The program didnt have enough functions for a gym/PT studio

I couldn't run my creative business without this

Opmerkingen: I am making more money because I'm not losing those 15 minute client task hours anymore thanks to the memory tracker. Also, I lost my billing from months ago, and I was easily able to go back and reprint it, dig through my tracker and see where I was missing stuff. I'd lose out on more than $1,000 a month if I didn't have this feature.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Best time tracking software I've ever used

Opmerkingen: Using Timely has allowed us to better visualize our business as a whole, from a high-level project and scheduling perspective down to reporting and identifying the most profitable / desired type of work to pursue in business development.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

Minor glitches when saving changes, which rarely ever happen.

Free time tracking app

Opmerkingen: Was having trouble with current time tracking apps that were either low on features or hard to look at. Timely brought a nice balance between functionality and design for scheduling my time and sticking to it.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Excellent for scheduling onboarding calls

Pluspunten:

We mostly use Timely for scheduling onboarding calls with clients. It's easy to pass them a link and from there they can choose which employee they would like to speak with, and they can then schedule the call based on the employee's availability. The integration with Google Calendar is really helpful too.

Minpunten:

It would be helpful if each user was able to choose their timezone as it doesn't take into account that users may be in different countries.

Ideal time tracking software for my business

Opmerkingen: I can’t imagine finding a better fit for me and the way I work. Timely makes time-tracking painless and effortless.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Timely is the best thing to happen to our business!

Opmerkingen: As a medical office, we use medical documentation software so we can appropriately document and bill for services. However, when we started selling retail wellness products and offering other wellness services, using our EMR was much too cumbersome to keep track of these things - we didn't want to have to set up a whole case for someone who just came in to buy a set of weights, and most of the things that Timely does fell on me - keeping track of inventory, tracking used visits against packages, etc. When I found Timely, it almost seemed too good to be true. Other software would track inventory, but not packages. Timely not only did everything I wanted and more, but it's a user-friendly software. Very intuitive. It was easy to train my staff on the system and has taken a lot off my plate.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Best Time Tracker for Freelancers

Opmerkingen: Whenever I have had issues, it has always been handled almost immediately, the customer service is stellar and the AI feature is the best addition. It has made my life so much easier!

Pluspunten:

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!

Minpunten:

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.

Integral to my freelance process

Opmerkingen: I use this all day every day. It has not only allowed me to help keep an accurate record of my freelance hours , but it is pretty and satisfying to use. Seeing my custom color palette blocks grow along with the weekly balance is the progress I need to keep going. There are times when it can be slightly glitchy (I use it on Chrome), but nothing a simple refresh can't handle. Also, the continuing updates and upgrades are only increasing how seamlessly this is integrated into my workflow.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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)

A fantastic booking software

Opmerkingen: As a whole, Timely is a wonderful tool that has automated the process of booking appointments with clients and employees.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Better than the rest by a mile

Opmerkingen: I tried several timekeeping products before I finally found Timely and now I can't imagine using anything else. The clean, attractive design is what first drew me in, but the ease of use and ability to customize my timekeeping tasks have made me a devoted user. Added to the mix are friendly customer service and a reasonable cost for my one-person business. I especially love the tags, which allow me to see how my tasks for each project break down this has helped me be more productive, improved my billing capabilities, and made my estimates more accurate. I can't say enough good things about Timely!

Pluspunten:

Design, usability, customizable features

Minpunten:

Nothing!

Save time and boost your productivity with Timely Software

Opmerkingen: I enjoy using Timely Software because it is effective, efficient and secure.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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.

So simple yet so powerful

Opmerkingen: Timely is so ridiculously simple to use. Makes time tracking a breeze. But the simplicity is paired with very sophisticated reports allowing granular analysis. It is the best time tracking software we have found after trying several systems.

Pluspunten:

Ease of use. Powerful reports. Great support.

Minpunten:

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

My beloved assistant

Opmerkingen: I use timely on a daily basis, and it love it. I can plan my week ahead, manage my workload so I know if I can take on another job or not. It even tells me how much I will probably make this week, when I've filled in all the right elements in my project's page. It shows me how much more I can work on a project, and because it shows planned as well as logged, I can inform my clients way ahead when our budget limits are in sight.
Logging is a gem. At the office I just start and stop on my mac or iPad. When I'm on the road, iPhone and the Apple Watch step in. And if these two failed - because it was too caught up to remember logging - I can fall back on automated input from Moves, Trello or Rescuetime. I never miss a minute. Even planning works that smooth.
Before I had Timely I was juggling all kinds of notes, tables, papers... I was constantly panicking. Will I have enough time for this, have I been working enough, do we still have budget for this, can I take on another job... Now I have peace of mind. Timely is my beloved assistant.

Pluspunten:

Ease of use, beauty, insightfulness, flexibility

Minpunten:

The projects dashboard. That could be made more compact and insightful.

I no longer waste time on unprofitable tasks

Pluspunten:

Love the redesigned interface launched last year. Timely works perfectly for our smaller teams that focus on more of the freelancing work that comes in. I like the option for local installation as well as web - based. We use the web-based version and it's fast and effective. Like the monthly reports being automatically done, and the ability to drag and drop emails from gmail is great.

Minpunten:

No time tracking on the mobile app is something we wished was available because it would be helpful during travel.

A great companion

Opmerkingen: I've been using Timely since the beginning of my freelance business back in 2014. Over the time more functions and supported devices have been added without compromising the usability. It's still a pleasure working with this well-designed app.

Timely is maintain your time and also remember that do your work.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Leaps and bounds ahead of the rest

Opmerkingen: Timely is a fantastic app. It's beautifully designed and the UX is constantly being improved by the team. The tracking features like Memory (still in beta but will be a game-changer) and the app integrations are ahead of everyone else, and (once the bugs are squashed) almost completely automate time tracking. This app is an absolute must-have, and I honestly can't imagine how I ever worked without it.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Timely Review

Opmerkingen: Timely is helpful software and I like it, it is functional and I highly recommend it.

Pluspunten:

I have been using Timely for a while, It is good software with many essential functions. You can schedule your job easily and track the workflow and time-consuming.

Minpunten:

I don't have many complaints about Timely, but I would appreciate it if the software saved more project colors as defaults.

The only time tracking app I've stuck to.

Opmerkingen: Timely's different from all the other time tracking apps I've used. It's easy to use, fast, and uses a kanban-like design that makes it easy to drag and drop entries from one day to another. If it could build even more integrations with other task/project management apps, it would definitely make a lot of Timely users happy. The only thing I can think of that needs improvement is their customer service availability. I'd leave messages and it would take the team days to get back to me. But other than that, the app is a joy to use.
