Hello everyone, welcome back to the Keep productive YouTube channel on today's feature we will be diving into
Timely which is an automatic time tracking
application we'll be giving you the features a little bit about the company and who this is most
recommended for so join us in today's video to dive into
So folks as you can imagine there are a lot of time tracking applications out there and timely is one of them
It's been around for a little bit of time now
so as I said, it's an automatic time tracking application, which means it it works in the background as well as
Manually to help you track your time or your work hours or for your team?
so let's dive into a bit about the company before we roll in you can use the
Timestamps below if you want to skip ahead so the company that runs 'm has recently rebranded
It's now called memory. Now memory AI is a company that runs two major projects. The first product is
Timely which we'll be reviewing today and the second is a deep worked hold called Divo now memory
The company are based over in Oslo, Norway and have recently
Secured six million dollars in funding the main reason I tell you this one is because they're an independent
Company and a lot of people don't like tracking tools
To be run by bigger companies just because of the surveillance and their security concerns
So I'll explain what timely is in a minute. But what you can do is you can download
memory onto your Mac or Windows device
So it's very strange the application sort of broken into two you download memory first
which you can download on Mac and Windows and essentially memory is
compatible with both
timely and Devo as product and what it does is it tracks your activities in a background to basically bring together a
Log or time sheet of what you've done during the day and now make sense in a moment when we talk about the a.i
capabilities but all you need to know now is timely as available and I
Android and Windows to download and you can sign in with Google and there is also a web edition, too
So you don't just have to use this as a team context you are able to use this as a solo user
So let's run through some of the features
The first feature is to go ahead and create
Projects now projects are essentially your sort of target for each of your time tracking areas
So you can essentially create a project edit all the details including the hourly billing
the goal of the project and also what type of activities
fall under that specific project you can even associate your projects to
Clients that you may be working with and tag them with even more details
So once you go ahead and create a project any new time log that you create can be associated to a project
Which allows you to get real-time billing to better understand how much you need to bill and it can even associate billing
Automatically based on a timesheet per client or per project
Now the main area where you track your hours you can do both manually and using the automatic time tracking
so if you wanted to do it manually you could select a time and essentially it would appear like a
Calendar so that you can essentially block out periods of time
You can even schedule time in advanced and you can also add as much detail as you like to whatever
Event that you create and time period or duration that you start
Now with each day, once you have memory installed it will essentially track some of the work you're doing on your laptop
So for example if I started a bit of time log with some of the editing for the woven course
I've just done then I can associate it to the project the Skillshare project
So that's the project but anything I do for example the Camtasia
Editing the photo editing, etc. Etc can be linked and this is very smart
So what you can do is basically train the AI by selecting the activities you did during day
which attract using the memory app and you can basically
Associate them to the day and once you train the AI
Which there'll be a guidance on it will essentially start picking up things
Automatically which will help you to track the time automatically instead of always having to manually do it
So when you open your calendar or the hours view you get to see
basically a filled out timesheet for you because it's automatically
Logging and associating or tagging those memory activities to you're actually hours dedicated
Now what's cool is you can also connect your Google Calendar which will link in certain meetings
And you also have the ability to connect with office 365 and Gmail as well
So it's Oh seeds any emails or events that occur as well associated to a certain project
And again, that's where you can train the AI now if you wanted to and you worked with a team
you can essentially get
reporting afterwards
Which allows you to see a breakdown you can get either custom reports or some of the templates that are pre-made
But essentially you can rotate it to a project a client or a certain type of activity
This will give you some insight. For example, if you worked with a team you could see exactly
weekly report wise
How your team was getting on what they were focusing on and this sort of data can give you ways that you could
Fuel your team into a better direction
maybe to advise them to spend less time on administration and more time based on their projects or
less time in meetings and more time
Consulting or doing deep work the great thing as well. Is it does sync with applications like asana teamgantt todoist?
Monday comm and many more now
If you were looking to compare it with another application say toggle, which is a very strong alternative
Toggle doesn't have any AI
abilities like memory inside of its application
So it's more of a manual time tracking application. If you forget about it, you won't necessarily be done with it whilst with memory
It's automatically pooling that information ready for you to assign and once it's learned it through AI it will start
Associating it automatically
Kögel does have some benefits though
It's slightly cheaper
Than this application of touch on pricing in a moment and also has an offline tracking ability
Which I wasn't able to find inside of the timely application
So you're probably wondering what is the price of timely now you can get a trial for 14 days
very similar to the majority of other software's out there and if you wanted a
two-member or to use a team
It's gonna cost you forty nine dollars per month if billed monthly which seems to be fairly high
But if you and your team spend a lot of time
whether it's a small team or a large team constantly working out how you're spending your time and
Auditing that process and you've used this sort of application of the past
It could be a very effective tool for you
If you were a freelancer looking to use it to track your time as a solo user
It's gonna be $14 per month, which seems a lot more reasonable but still seems to be a lot more expensive
I believe the price in
Photography or but are you paying for the AI that is your question to yourself? Uncle's pricing isn't too far off
so if you're looking at two members on the premium plan for toggle, it's gonna be
$40
$20 times two and that's only nine dollars off pain versus timely so folks
Who do I recommend this for now?
this application is really suitable for
Freelancers and small teams that are looking to manage how they use their time
now the thing that I would say pushes it above applications like toggle is the AI abilities is
Automatically tracking so that you and your team don't necessarily have to do some of the legwork that may come with other applications
and that can pay
Real dividends, especially when you're looking to save a bit of time yourself instead of spending your time time tracking
So the memory abilities is something that I know a lot of people like
But also if for someone that is concerned about a time tracking application maybe going too far
Looking at how you spend your time in certain?
Applications then if your security is your concern then of course that's something to consider the again
It's worth reading the privacy and security policies that go along with that. So timely is a well-rounded
Automatic time tracking application that you can download today. I'll include a link in the description
They have a great podcast called about time podcast, which I checked out on the website. It was a fairly good podcast
And also I will be planning to do a review on Devo which I do plan to do. I think it's either perhaps Devo Devo
but folks I hoped you enjoyed this feature and
Please do. Let me know with a thumbs up if you enjoyed it subscribe
If you're new and comment below if you've experienced timely we'd love to hear some of your opinions
But I will do all very soon as ever. Bye
