Timely

Timely is an AI-powered time-tracking and workforce management software that helps businesses track billable hours and manage productivity. The software's standout feature is its Memory Tracker, which uses AI to automatically track time spent on multiple tasks on Windows and macOS devices, eliminating the need for manual time tracking. The Memory app runs in the background capturing desktop activity and listing them as individual work events called memories, which users can then drag and drop to create timesheets. The platform's AI functionality groups similar activities into draft time entries, helping to streamline timesheet creation.

Beyond time tracking, Timely offers project management capabilities including budget tracking, milestone monitoring, and project progress visualization. The software also includes task planning, team capacity management, and GPS location tracking features for field employees. For billing purposes, it allows users to set project-specific billable rates and generate basic invoices based on tracked time.

Timely places significant emphasis on employee privacy, with all tracking data being exclusively available and editable by the end user. The platform does not offer employee monitoring features like screenshots or keystroke tracking that are common in other time-tracking solutions.
