What it is

Timely runs quietly in the background, recording the apps, documents and meetings you work in, then uses AI to turn that activity into draft time entries you approve. It is built for consultants and agencies who bill by the hour and dislike manual timers. There is no free plan, prices are high compared with most trackers, and invoicing is not built in.

Standout capability

Fully automatic, privacy-first capture of your work activity turned into time entries by AI.

Community sentiment

What people praise

Users consistently say automatic capture saves them from timesheet chores and that the visual calendar interface is easy to live in.

What people complain about

Recurring gripes are the high price for freelancers and large teams, auto-classification that misses short tasks, and reporting that feels thin for detail-oriented managers.
