How to use Timely

Getting started with Timely is a seamless process designed for maximum efficiency and minimal disruption:

1. Install the Memory App: Each team member installs the lightweight Memory desktop app (available for Mac and Windows). It runs securely in the background, capturing work activity without interruption. All data captured is completely private to the user.
2. Review Your Private Timeline: At the end of the day or week, each user can review their personal, color-coded timeline. This visual memory aid shows exactly what they worked on and for how long.
3. Generate AI Timesheets: With a single click, Timely's AI analyzes the captured activities and drafts an accurate timesheet, intelligently grouping activities and suggesting project associations based on past patterns.
4. Review and Approve: Users quickly review the AI-generated draft, make any minor adjustments if needed, and approve their hours. This entire process takes minutes, not hours.
5. Manage and Analyze: Managers get a real-time, high-level view of team performance, project progress, and budget health through centralized dashboards. They can run detailed reports, manage capacity, and ensure projects stay on track and profitable.
