Timeular

Timeular- a hidden gem

Opmerkingen: Great to use. Slow customer service with few options to help.

Pluspunten:

Easy to use. Customizable. Gives the user great insight into how they are using their time.

Minpunten:

Recent price increases and the need to register multiple users from one org as a team.

Convinient time tracking for entrepreneurs

Opmerkingen: Can see what I really use my time for, can set work time goals and can get useful data easily. Easy to use and fun to personalize and customize my tracker. Tracker battery lasts very long! Only need to charge a couple times every year even though I use it pretty much every day. The only negative I have so far is sometimes the tracker will stop tracking while a task is still in progress (my guess it's a bluetooth connection problem?)

Pluspunten:

Easy to use, provides useful information and overall useful software. Customization of the tracker is a nice bonus!

Minpunten:

Wish it had more features such as setting different types of goals for different time periods (per week, per month, per year etc). Could have an integrated to-do-list type of feature, as well as a useful widget for the mobile app version.

Very expensive

Pluspunten:

Easy to use and very useful when exporting data for customers

Minpunten:

The new prices are really high, I think I will switch to another application.

A gamechanger for anyone who works on billable hours!

Opmerkingen: Timeular does what it promises, and it does it so extremely well: Save your time! I used it daily, and it has taken away worries about tracking my billable hours as well as non-billables for efficiency control. Here, the word "mighty tool" is really the best way to describe the software. And the speed of Timeular when it comes to implementing innovations and customer suggestions is amazing!

Pluspunten:

Once you set up your tracker's sides, just flip it, fill in a tag or two, and at the end of the day your timesheet is ready! So much better than compiling Excel sheets or even writing down hours with a pen. In addition, the exact timing in addition with the rounding feature saves so much time when preparing the invoices for your clients - I can no longer imagine a professional life without Timeular!

Minpunten:

When you have a slow internet connection, the user may be quicker than Timeular when it comes to opening entires for editing purposes, and the user may end up creating new entries on other days. This can be easily corrected, so this is a mere nuisance. In addition, I would love to be able to combine tags with hourly rates to include these in the time sheets for each client.

PLEASE add the ability to reorganize activities!

Opmerkingen: Overall great, but again, having the ability to re-organize and move activities between spaces would make this product 100% in my book.Thank you.

Pluspunten:

It's pretty easy to use. I get a good visual sense of how I've spent my day and in what parts of the day. I like using Command+E on the Mac to quickly add a new entry. That makes tracking things very fast. The insights tab is also great at being able to break everything down by spaces, tags, activities, etc.

Minpunten:

Yes! I've been saying this since the day I signed up for Timeular: please add the ability to re-organize activities between spaces! It seems a bit ridiculous that you can rename Spaces, Activities, and Tags, but you can't move activities between spaces. The way I initially set up my Timeular workflow (with some activities in certain spaces and not others) was quite random as I was still playing around with the software. I now have a better idea of how I'd like to organize my workflow, and which activities should go within their respective spaces, but I can't change anything! It's as if I'm being punished as the user for not completely understanding off the bat, how to set up my Timeular workspaces and their activities. This seems like a no brainer request and I'm a bit shocked it still hasn't been implemented yet. Keeping data siloed seems like a bad business approach to a piece of software that otherwise is very customizable and functional. PLEASE make this change! Thank you.

Great Tool I Recommend to Anyone

Opmerkingen: I got timeular as a way to track my working patterns, consciously switch between tasks better, and to help my time reporting for the client work I was involved with at the time. Our client required us to estimate our work for the upcoming sprint in hours, then only record our time against those subtasks that had the hour estimates on them.As you can imagine, this was a horrible system. It was hard to keep track of, even by lunch, all the things I had bounced between and spent time on helping to fix. Heavens forbid you might forget to record your time against these hour estimates for a day or two, good luck remembering everything you worked on.With Timeular I just had to look at the insights at the end of the week. Broke it down by day to record my time on their application, and I could provide exact amounts of time for each fifteen minute block. The client still ended up getting some free time so we could get some features out the door, but I was able to stand firmly and say no when I knew I had already put in a bunch of extra hours in a week and they needed to just wait.

Pluspunten:

This cube and its associated software have helped me focus my efforts to work on specific tasks, and to set healthy boundaries with my client so that I was no longer working so many unpaid hours. I was able to have this data in my back pocket so I knew exactly how long I had worked on each task. If they wanted to track us by fifteen minute intervals, I was going to have data for the minute by minute of every day. I was able to set much healthier boundaries in my work/life balance and limit the number of hours the client was getting for free. Just the act of turning the Timeular cube to correspond with the task I want to now start focusing on is a mental trigger for my brain to switch into that task's headspace. It has helped me be more intentional about what I am working on and how much time I devote to each type of task for my day. The analytics / increased reporting is definitely worth it just to learn more about your own working patterns.

Minpunten:

The only possible con I could see for this product and software is for a company to require its developers to provide them with all of the data they generate in a day. I mean, on one hand that could be seen as fair. If you're going to have people record their hours in a timesheet, might as well have an immediately digestible dynamic timesheet. But idk, I like being fully transparent with myself about how I spend my time and when. It's not like my company doesn't always come out on top in these situations, but do they need to know every time I spend 23 minutes in the bathroom? (random example that would NEVER happen surely...)

Desktop friendly, but iOS version needs work

Opmerkingen: The desktop experience is great, but the iOS experience definitely needs improvement to catch up to the desktop experience

Pluspunten:

The analytics and report are very handy and easy to useThe ease of use to edit and make changesThe ease of use to press a shortcut to stop, edit, or start sessionsThe Mac version is more responsive than the PC version

Minpunten:

The PC desktop version feels a bit slow and clunky when zooming in and analyzing session segmentsThe iOS version is super limited. The edit feature needs to catch up to desktop versionIt needs to catch up to the Apple Watch features as other trackers are in the market

Easiest to use for minimum effort, good UX

Opmerkingen: I think this app is fantastic. I think it is now a bit overpriced but to an extent you get what you pay for. I haven’t found anything else nearly as easy to use.

Pluspunten:

I like the physical Bluetooth tracker, and the tracking state syncs almost instantly between devices

Minpunten:

The Bluetooth tracker connection is flaky. Also, increased subscription cost recently with no extra features that I use.

Unveils time

Opmerkingen: Timeular is a great help to log time and boost productivity.

Pluspunten:

I like to know where and how I spent my time, also when I want to look back at an earlier time range.

Minpunten:

Im just missing the possibility to tag a task itself instead of just the activity for being able to group tasks more flexible in reports.

Easy to setup and use

Pluspunten:

Timeular was super easy to get setup and start using. I've setup different workspaces for the different clients I've billed and it allows me to indicate whether time is billable or not. Export functions allow me to attach a PDF of all my time to send to my clients so I reduce the amount of times that they need to ask me where their time is being spent.

Minpunten:

I wish there was some way to set alerts as I'm nearing my maximum time I've been permitted by a client in a fixed interval.

Timeular makes time tracking fun

Opmerkingen: I know where my time goes. And it makes time tracking fun instead of tedious, so I actually do it. It has helped me to track my effective hourly rate on different types of projects—now I know which types of projects are more profitable for me (and which are less) with data.

Pluspunten:

The tracker itself is just awesome. It looks like a cool toy on my desk. I like it because it's real—I don't just log my time on an app, I physically flip something in the real world which tells my brain and my body that "I'm working now."The app itself is well designed -- totally simple to use. I review my stats at the end of the month to bill clients and the app makes quick work of an otherwise tedious job. It's also quite flexible—I use it my way, but I'm sure others use it in different ways to suit what they need and how they think and work.

Minpunten:

One time my tracker disconnected and I couldn't get it to connect, but a quick Google and I found great instructions on the Timeular website to reset the Bluetooth connection and everything was good as new. I've been using it for years without any issues—it's just a study, reliable time tracker.

Was I really undercharging that much

Opmerkingen: Eye opener, I use to just have little meeting and do quick tasks and not bother charging, it was an eyeopener to actually see how much these hours of 'its only a quick job' added up

Pluspunten:

I love that I have a drop down to quickly put items in a different section

Minpunten:

I find all the updates frustrating, but on a positive you can't have progress without updates and it shows the team are always working on improvements

Perfect for small business

Opmerkingen: Perfect

Pluspunten:

The ease of use, overview over the calendar entries, graphics, and continued reliable uptime is a dream for me because i frequently have to change projects in a day.

Minpunten:

The only thing i wish for, is a local buffer for time entries in the calendar. It has happened that i could not be online and therefore could not use the app.

You became too expensive

Opmerkingen: Good, just sad about the price (I will just keep the free version).

Pluspunten:

Good UI, good support and the tracker is pretty handy.

Minpunten:

You pushed a very high price with lots of features that me and other people don’t care about. Please make it possibile to pay less to only get the exporting feature. API are for power users.

It's time to get Timeular!

Opmerkingen: I love it. It's been great and easy to use for tracking and billing for myself and several friends that use it!

Pluspunten:

If you're reading this, stop and start your account right now.I love the app for tracking time for billable hours as well as non-billable admin type tasks.Easy to see breakdowns of where my time goes each week and month.

Minpunten:

No real complaints. I was trying to build an automation between Timeular and my invoicing tool at one point, and hit a little snag with API queries, but that's not a major issue nor is it going to impact most users.

Indispensable tool

Pluspunten:

Tracking device is great. Being able to set up categories or projects for time and the analytics it provides helps me to know if I’m investing my time according to my priorities and goals. Very easy to use and intuitive.

Minpunten:

The initial start up cost is a bit higher than I would have liked.

Get a clear view of how you use your time

Pluspunten:

The software and tracker are easy and fun and showed me in real data how much time I was wasting during my work days. I am able to clearly see how much time I have spent on different projects and billing my clients and completing timesheets is no longer a nightmare. It has increased my work productivity and reduced distractions - I don't want to have to switch my tracker to "distraction"!

Minpunten:

The monthly subscription is somewhat pricey for workers that are not in large teams and use it solely for their own benefit. Other than that one caveat I believe that it is a great product.

Invaluable Resource for Productivity

Opmerkingen: This has been a game changer for our team! We love it! It helps us work the right amount, not too much nor too little. It makes sure we can keep each other accountable to focus on the most important tasks.

Pluspunten:

Very easy to use and intuitive! This has been a game-changer for our team! We love it! It helps us work the right amount, not too much nor too little. It makes sure we can keep each other accountable to focus on the most critical tasks.

Minpunten:

Sometimes there is a lag between the desktop app and the mobile app.

Exactly the right product... but unexpected.

Opmerkingen: Timeular helps me organize my time more effectively, lets me track which projects are doing me the most good, and which I need to eliminate or improve.

Pluspunten:

The app. It's exactly what I need. I'll admit I was drawn in by the clever tchotchke, but the most useful part of the purchase has been the tracking app. I start times right on it, and haven't charged the thing in years.

Minpunten:

Nothing. It's overall an excellent product. Maybe save up updates and only do them once a week instead of constantly?

Excellent and easy export

Pluspunten:

I can easily track all my tasks with appropriate tags. I could use the dice or I can use the key commands on my keyboard

Minpunten:

I have a lot of things set up from before all the updates. The new updates would be really great to use, but it's not easy to slip right into that groove.

Great device, Great Software

Pluspunten:

I am using Timeular since it hit the market. I love the idea tracking time by simply turning my ZEI. The software is easy to use. More features come with every update, simplicity stays. Good job!

Minpunten:

Live tracking or direct transpancy on who is working on thich project and or task. (Usecase, may or may I not call my collegue as I see he is working on a related project to my topic). Integration to click up in order to track time on tasks.

Performance Enabler

Pluspunten:

Until I found Timeular when they ran their kickstarter campain time tracking was hard work. Timeular makes it easy and enjoyable to track and frees up time and enhances productivity.

Minpunten:

For me everything works fine. Nothing to add.

Great product! Highly recommended & easy to use

Pluspunten:

It just works really well. Easy to add, adjust or remove tracked time. Easy to generate overviews.

Minpunten:

Not sure if you can make a distinction between billable and non-billable time. Maybe they added it recently. Not checked yet.

Making my professional life easier

Opmerkingen: Absolutely love it, it's reliable, practical, easy to use and even aesthetically pleasing to have on my desk. Have recommended multiple times and am very happy about the continued development and improvement!

Pluspunten:

The tracker and software are an epic combination. Having a physical device remind me about switching the task I track is incredibly helpful and makes it easy and fast.

Minpunten:

Minor problem as I don't often change them, but I find it hard to remove stickers from the tracker's surface.

Productivity boost through knowledge

Opmerkingen: Timular has helped me become more productive in my daily work, which was a professional struggle of mine

Pluspunten:

The easiness of use has allowed my to track time efficient and effortlessly, and the great data visualization included helps me see where i am spending my time at, making it easier to adjust my priorities. Timular has allowed me to become much more productive in my daily work by understanding where my time was being spent at

Minpunten:

How expensive the subscription is, other than that i love every about timeular
