Timely’s automation and privacy-first approach makes it the definitive Timesheets alternative. Trade manual timer frustration and creepy screenshots for intuitive, culture-friendly time tracking.
“I always forget to start or stop timers. Manual timer apps also don’t give me any detail about what I did during that time.”
Share Helena’s pain? You’re not alone. Almost every time tracking app currently on the market shares Timesheets’ essential design error: 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. It also leaves you extremely vulnerable to expensive inaccuracies . Even if you remember to log your hours every day, studies show that timesheets that rely on manual input are only ever 67% accurate.
Timesheets also has some questionable features which undermine employee trust . Timesheets’ geo-location tagging feature allows managers to capture the locations of employees clocking in on mobile, and the Photo Timestamp functionality is advertised to give employers “extra security” from supposedly shirking employees by accessing their laptop webcam to take a photo of them.
In this context, Timesheet’s additional time off and PTO features matter relatively little. Ultimately, a robust time tracking solution should satisfy a very basic purpose: capturing hours as accurately and easily without destroying team trust and culture.
Offering automatic time tracking, Timely is quite a step up from Timesheets’ heavily manual functionality. Instead of making you plug in everything you work on, Timely captures time on every task, precise to the second. Crucially, it actually protects employee privacy and is 100% free of dystopian spying features. Here are a few reasons why Timesheets users switch 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.
Timely is ready for wherever work takes you. With apps available on Mac, Windows, iOS and Android in addition to the web, you can move seamlessly between your laptop, phone and tablet. Our secure GPS location app also lets you automatically track the time you spend at different locations from your mobile — ideal for capturing travel, meetings, site visits and events, and logging time on the go.
