Our payment solution is now live. Any account with a completed trial (30 days), should now see a payment notification when they log in.
If you have any questions regarding your trial or subscription, please don’t hesitate contacting us. We’re also happy to answer any general questions in the comments below.
We got some good news for our early customers: The payment solution we are going to use isn’t completely ready yet, so the trial period will be extended up until it’s rock solid and ready to go. It will probably take another two or three weeks.
So if your trial is ending soon you’re wondering why there hasn’t been any notification about it, this is the reason. We’ve deactivated all systems related to the trial expiring.
We’ll keep you updated about the progress. In the meantime, enjoy using the service freely for another couple of weeks!
Customer service surely is one of the most important aspects of any business. Without you, the customer, our product is nothing. So on that note, I want you to know that we take customer service extremely serious. We’ve created one simple goal for ourself: To provide the absolutely best customer service to both paying and free customers.
Now we know that a goal like that ins’t going to be easy to accomplish. We need to work really hard for it to become something more than just words, but I can tell you right now that we’re going to work like crazy to make it happen.
So what exactly are we doing? We’re going to be giving support on three different channels:
Both myself and Thomas will be constantly monitoring all three channels. Even though we are doing that, we feel our customers deserve to know which time we are almost guaranteed to be available. For that reason, our official “business hours” will be the following:
Just to clarify: we constantly answer all three channels, but this is when we are almost always available. On Twitter, you’ll either see a ^TK or a ^MM behind our tweets. This is just to show you who’s answering. On Facebook we’ll use ^Mathias or ^Thomas. The signature idea is something we picked up from the excellent CampaignMonitor team on Twitter.
We look forward to speaking with all of you in the future. Is there anything else you would like to see us do in regards to customer service? We’d love to hear your suggestions.
Today we officially launch Timely; the better, easier way to do time tracking. Head on over to the frontpage to learn more and sign up for your free 30-day trial account!
After months and months of hard work, countless of tweaks, updates, restarts and changes, we can finally release Timely to the whole world. It’s taken a long time, but it feels amazing to step back and see how far we’ve gotten. But as good as it feels to get it out, this is only the beginning of our application. Timely is by heart a true web application, which means there will be rapid and on-going updates, all the time. So stay tuned for some big news in 2011.
If you have any suggestions, complaints or questions, please don’t hesitate contacting us or adding them in the comments. We want all the feedback we can get!
As a last note, please help us spread the word. We truly appreciate any mention, tweet, like, blogpost or anything else which can help get the word out to the world.
We’ve taken the decision to push the release date to December 28th, instead of today. The reason for delaying a couple of days is because of the bad timing due to Christmas coming up in just two days, and we would like to have a couple of extra days to do some really extensive bug testing to be 100% sure we got a really solid product.
So check back here on the morning of tuesday, next week, on December 28th. We’re so excited to show you what we got!
On a different note, we’ve pushed the following updates today:
We’ve pushed some great new updates to Timely this past week. The beta testers might have spotted some of them, but here’s a run-down of what’s new:
We’ve launched a completely new reports system which makes it really easy to get a great overview of your, or the company’s, logged hours. There’s three datasets:
The “old” reports system is still very much active can be accessed using the “Create a new custom report” button in the top right.
If you’re an individual using Timely, and not a company, having to see your own face on each time entry is really unnecessary. The same goes for a lot of other smaller features like choosing a hourly rate for different users when you’re creating a new project. That’s why we’ve created a freelance (or rather individual) view. This view removes everything that’s unnecessary when you’re only one user.
In addition to this, we’ve also fixed countless of bugfixes, done lots and lots of optimizations and completed other overall smaller improvements.
The beta is also officially over. We would like to thank all of our beta-testers for some great feedback and for a few bugs spotted. If you were one of the beta-testers, you’ll see a overview of the plans and pricing the next time you log in. All you have to do is to choose a plan to begin your free 30-day trial. There’s no credit card required and all your hours, projects etc is still available.
We’re aiming for a full release (with a brand new website) later today or tomorrow. Stay tuned!
Timely has been evolving greatly for the past few months, and we have now finally gotten to a point where we are ready to start showing the world. Enjoy this very first preview of Timely.
Here are a few of the things Timely will let you do:
Sign up for the beta to the right if you want to try out Timely before we officially launch (which is right before Christmas). We’re sending out new invites every few days. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments.
We’ve all tracked time in our lives. Almost every job in the world is based around tracking time and getting payed for the hours you work. We do it every day and you probably do the same.
We also know that it’s a real mess. Most businesses print out timesheet documents, put them up on doors and make the employees manually write their hours up. Some use excel documents. Some, more advanced users, use web or desktop applications to track their work hours. However, very few businesses actually use applications because they are generally hard to use, focuses on too much unusable and irrelevant stuff and often takes more time to use, than to actually do the work.
It sucks and we hate it. That’s why we built our own web application, Timely. We’ll post more details in the coming week, but lets just say that we use it every day and it’s way better than anything we’ve ever used before. Here’s a little teaser image of the interface:
Stay tuned for more news. In the meantime you can follow us on Twitter and check out our Facebook page.
