What is Timely?

Timely is an AI-powered automatic time tracking platform built for consultancies, agencies, and SaaS businesses that need accurate time and project data without manual timesheet entry. Its Memory Tracker runs quietly in the background across web and desktop apps, capturing work activity, and Timely's AI then auto-allocates that activity to the right projects and drafts timesheets for one-click approval. The tool is positioned as privacy-first, giving employees control over what gets shared with managers rather than acting as surveillance software.

Beyond time capture, Timely offers project dashboards, team capacity planning, billable rate and budget management, overtime tracking, and multi-currency support on its higher tiers. It integrates with over 40 tools including Asana, ClickUp, Jira, Trello, monday.com, Google Calendar, and QuickBooks, and exposes an API and Zapier connection for further automation. Timely reports serving more than 5,000 businesses across 160 countries, primarily agencies, consultancies, and professional services teams that bill clients by the hour.

Its AI then privately organizes this activity into a personal timeline and suggests time entries and project allocations, which the user reviews and approves.

Timely markets itself as privacy-first. Activity data (the 'Memory' timeline) is private to the individual user by default; only the time entries a user chooses to submit become visible to managers, rather than raw activity logs.

Timely offers a 14-day free trial with unlimited access to all features, and no credit card is required to start.

Yes. Paying annually instead of monthly saves roughly 20-22% depending on the plan, for example the Starter plan drops from $11/user/month billed monthly to $9/user/month billed annually.
