Hey hunters! We’re thrilled to launch our brand new platform today; completely automatic time tracking. From who you email, to what places you’ve been to, how long you were on facebook or even where you drove your car. It can all be tracked automatically so you never have to think about tracking hours again, it all happens in the background. We’d love to hear what you think! :)
@matmik Looks impressive! All that's left is purchasing a Tesla so I can use that widget to the top left. On a more serious note, this is a great direction you guys decided to head in. Big level up.
I have been a user of Timey for some time now and this is the direction I hoped it would take and they did it.
Great job guys!
If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to add some keyboard shortcuts to facilitate time entry.
I've been a user for more than a year already and love it. This new direction seems pretty awesome. Missing the weapons of my choice though: Todoist, Slack and iOS movement tracking (without Moves that is). Also in the video there's a Skype connection which I can't seem to find?
@espengetz Thanks! We really believe this is the right direction. Who doesn't hate filling timesheets, right? Our goal is to make it even smoother in the future, but this is a very good start! :)
I've been using Timely for years in my freelancing. Always recommend it when it comes to tracking and managing time. Big productivity saver, even more so with these new innovations. Great work!
Been using Timely for 2 months and I'm interested in how the update will change my workflow. I loved the service the way it was, but the video seems like the current day view is added and improved with some extensions for hooking up other services. Will I be able to use Timely the way I used it before the update (manually tracking events in my work-day)?
Anyway, good job on your service guys, will check the update now.
I've encountered a problem: I use more than one email account for my work, and I can only enable one at the connecting screen. EDIT: I found the button to add another account (could be more visible) but it doesn't work for me (nothing happens on click). Using the Mac app.
Also, I was hoping for a redesign of the timer button (stop/start tracking) but I see it remained the same. I think you could do a better job here, not sure if all users do this but I click on this thing a lot :)
@loutseau Yes, absolutely! It's totally optional whether you want to use 'the old way' or the automatic time tracking features. Thanks for the comment :-).
@loutseau You can connect more e-mail accounts (I'm assuming you use gmail) from this link: https://timelyapp.com/apps/3. Regarding the timer design, what do you miss / don't like about it? :-)
@orvik I guess I would like it more as a button. Clickable area is currently small and text indication (start tracking/stop tracking or similar) would be a better visual indicator of the status (along with more minimal icons). I find myself focusing on this element and trying to figure out weather it's on or off too often. Usually when I have other stuff on mind, and so it got annoying to me in the past 2 months of use.
@orvik also thanks for the link, it works this way. Check your mac app, it doesn't open the popup it should (i guess).
Yey! Nice to see you up here! I’ve been using Timely for a long time and I really love it, can’t wait to test this new feature out. Thank you, and congrats!!
I've been using Timely for at least a year. It's a terrific platform with website logging, desktop web app, and iOS apps. The synching between all these has been working smoothly since early this year. I'm quite excited to see the new integrations which will allow automatic tracking. (Wow, having a Tesla would be sweet if you have to drive to meetings!)
@matmik I've been using timely on and off but this will definitely make me want to use it more. I just hate subscription fees, don't you have some sort of lifetime one off purchase? I'd be happy to pay a bit more than your preferred clv :)
Request: please add a Qbserve integration (rescuetime alternative: https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/) since it's an app this might be a bit tricky, but I'm sure you'll find a way, I'm also confident that Qbserve would gladly help you out.
Also, about that day view, it would be great to be able to add the "widgets" to existing time projection blocks.
