Timely vs
Toggl
Timely eliminates the hassle of manual timers with fully automatic tracking. Unlike Toggl, which still requires user input, Timely ensures no time is left untracked while offering advanced features for teams and detailed real-time reports.
I tried Toggl last year: while remembering to start the timer was a chore, remembering to stop it proved impossible. I was constantly receiving notifications saying ‘your timer has been running for 8 hours.

Automatic tracking with limited support for larger teams
Toggl Track offers automated time tracking, including reminders and idle detection, to help users manage their time. However, it still relies on manual input for starting timers and assigning tasks, which can be time-consuming and prone to error. This approach may suffice for smaller teams but lacks advanced features for comprehensive, accurate time management.
Timely, on the other hand, goes beyond automated tracking with automatic time tracking that works in the background to record work effortlessly. Features like AI-powered suggestions for timesheets and multitasking support streamline time management without manual input. Additionally, Timely offers custom timesheet statuses (e.g., Verified/Waiting Approval) and real-time live reports, ensuring teams stay aligned and productive. For businesses seeking a smarter, more seamless solution, Timely is the clear choice.
I've tried a lot of time reporting tools during the years, from JIRA to Toggl and I'm amazed by how efficient and valuable Timely is to my workflow.
