Timely’s Automatic Time Tracking feature is powered by two key components: Memory and Timely.

Memory works quietly in the background on your device, automatically capturing your activities throughout the day. Timely then organizes and displays that activity on your personalized timeline, where you can then assign those hours to specific projects and tasks - giving you total control over how your time is allocated.

This seamless combination ensures you accurately track your time without manual input while maintaining the flexibility to organize it according to your needs.

Accessing Memory

You need to download Memory on your Windows or Mac computer to make it all happen. It captures the time you spend on any file, website, or desktop app by reading your active window titles. Everything is recorded to a private timeline only you can access.

With Memory, you get an accurate account of what you actually do every day. Every billable detail is captured, and you don't have to try to remember what you worked on!

Memory and other Apps

Currently, we support several apps including Google Calendar, Office 365, Gmail, and GPS for iOS and Android. When you connect these apps, Memory will show specific events you've scheduled or places you've been to inside your private Memory Timeline.
