Timely’s simple automated approach makes it the definitive Clockify alternative. Trade manual timer frustration and creepy screenshots for intuitive, culture-friendly time tracking.
Feel Helena’s pain? You’re not alone. Almost every time tracking app currently on the market shares Clockify’s essential design flaw: manual timer input.
Constantly starting and stopping timers is an unnatural and inefficient way to track time — particularly if you regularly hop between projects or responsibilities. The reliance on human input also produces bad data – studies show that even when logged daily, manual timesheets are only ever 67% accurate.
Clockify is also notorious for its flagrant violation of employee privacy . It gives managers the ability to take screenshots of employee screens to see what they’re working on—adopting a time tracking model built around employee distrust.
In this context, Clockify’s broad feature set and free plan matter relatively little. Ultimately, a robust time tracking solution should satisfy a very basic purpose: capturing hours accurately without destroying team trust and culture.
Offering AI and automation, Timely is quite a step up from Clockify’s heavily manual functionality. It completely flips the time tracking burden: instead of taking time out of your day to tell Timely what you worked on, Timely tells you with complete objectivity. Crucially, it actually protects employee privacy and is 100% free of dystopian spying features. Here are a few reasons why Clockify users upgrade to Timely.
Timely automatically captures the time you spend on every piece of work in the background for you. No guesstimates or overlooked billable hours from struggling to remember what you worked on. By producing a completely accurate timeline of every day automatically, Timely ensures every billable detail actually makes it to your timesheet.
Instead of starting and stopping timers as you move between tasks, Timely lets you stay 100% focused on your work. In addition to automating daily time tracking, it also minimizes timesheet admin by drafting time entries for you. Free more time for the work that matters!
Timely makes it easy to translate masses of granular time data into accessible, professional reports for clients and stakeholders. Its real-time dashboards keep you on top of critical business information, including project budget spend, billable percentage, overtime and employee capacity.
Offering user-level privacy by design, Timely is a tracking tool that teams can actually trust. Every employee gets their own private work timeline and they control what information goes public. We will never support creepy surveillance functionality — your private work data is for your eyes only.
