Track time for projects, not just productivity
RescueTime focuses on monitoring productivity without offering project-specific tracking or billing features. This can make it challenging to track work for clients, categorize time effectively, or manage billing.
Timely takes a different approach by automatically tracking your time across projects and tasks, making it much simpler to categorize your work and accurately bill clients. With its intuitive design and project-focused tracking, Timely helps you manage your time more efficiently without sacrificing productivity insights.
With Timely, I like not having to think about time tracking. Being able to switch project quickly during the day and still allocate worked time correctly.
