We’ve been hard at work improving your Timely experience with significant updates to our AI capabilities, memory timeline, and reporting features. Here’s what’s new:

New Features

• AI-Generated Notes: Our new AI Timesheet Assistant can now automatically generate descriptive notes for your time entries based on your tracked activities. This intelligent feature analyzes your memories and creates contextual summaries, saving you time and ensuring your entries have meaningful descriptions without manual effort.

• List View for Memories: New structured format for viewing memories, showing app-related memories at the highest level with sub-memories nested beneath them. Ideal for users who prefer seeing WHAT happened rather than WHEN it happened, especially for tasks involving fewer files and multi-tasking.

• Summary Lane: A new feature that simplifies your memory timeline by showing only the dominant activities in customizable time chunks. For example, if Zoom was your main activity between 9:00–9:30, the summary lane will display “Zoom” for that time block. You can adjust the time chunk intervals (5, 10, 15, 30 minutes, or 1 hour) to get the right level of detail, making it easier to understand how you spent your time without feeling overwhelmed by too much information.

All three features above are available in the new memory timeline experience, which can be accessed from the ‘day view’ by clicking the “Try the new Timeline/List” button.

• Dynamic Date Range Options for Reports: Added additional relative date options in Custom Report Templates including “Last 3 months”, “Last 6 months”, “Last 12 months”, “This quarter”, “Last quarter”, “This year”, and “Last year” for more flexible time tracking and analysis.

New: Clients and Projects in Data Tables

We’re excited to introduce a comprehensive client & project data view that allows you to access client and project metrics in a consolidated format. This powerful new reporting feature helps you make informed decisions about resource management, pricing strategies, and client relationships.

Key benefits include:

• Compare key metrics across your clients (time, revenue, cost, profits)

• Break data down by individual projects to see which projects contribute to the results

• See breakdowns per day, week and month in order to spot trends

New: Redesigned Report Export Experience

We’ve completely revamped the report export modal with a fresh design and enhanced user experience. The new export system includes:

• Scheduled automatic reports – set up recurring exports to keep stakeholders informed and improved export format options

• More intuitive interface for configuring and sharing reports

Improvements

• List/Timeline View Option: Moved the list/timeline switcher to the options dropdown for a cleaner interface.

• Memory Timeline Text Overlap Logic: Improved how text displays in the memory timeline to prevent overlapping.

• Default Options for Memory Apps: Added intelligent default configurations for popular apps like Google Meet, Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Keynote, Linear, Figma, Google Docs, Mail, and Gmail to improve your memory tracking experience right out of the box.

The improvements above apply to the new memory timeline experience only.

• Sub-task Synchronization: Enhanced integration with Asana, ClickUp, and Monday.com to import sub-tasks to Timely. Note that subtasks from these platforms will appear as regular tasks in Timely, since Timely Tasks does not have a subtask concept.

Bugfixes

• Fixed State Changes on Tag Updates: Resolved an issue where updating tags of billed entries would automatically change the state to “Logged”.

• Product Updates Loading: Fixed an issue where product update blog posts were not loading properly.

• Fixed Time Entry States: Addressed problems with billed and locked entries incorrectly displaying as logged.

• Autofill Button Improvements: Fixed an issue where the autofill button wasn’t considering memory summaries when determining if notes could be generated.

• Project Search Modal Position: Corrected the position of the project search modal on the user edit page.

• Client and Projects Table Access: Fixed an issue where non-owner users couldn’t see the client and projects table.

• XLSX Export Reports: Resolved several issues with XLSX exports, including reports not being sent via email and missing planned time data.

• PDF Export Improvements: Fixed an issue where project descriptions would appear in PDF exports despite being deselected.

• Currency Handling in Exports: Fixed an issue preventing exports of reports with different currencies than the workspace currency.

• Required Tags Warning: Added a warning message when logging time against projects that require at least one tag.

• Calendar Page Layout: Fixed the summary dropdown layout on the Calendar page.

• Asana and Monday.com Sync: Resolved some issues with data synchronization from Asana and Monday.com.

• Jira Connection: Fixed issues with the Jira connection modal and improved connection reliability.

• Team Selection in Projects: Fixed a bug where selecting “All teams” in project creation/editing didn’t properly select all users in those teams.

• Notes Auto-fill on Classic Timeline: Fixed an issue where notes were failing to auto-fill on the classic timeline.

• Safari Compatibility: Fixed an issue where the Tasks timeline appeared black on Safari.

We have some exciting enhancements to make your Timely experience even better! This month we're bringing you big improvments to AI, lots of quality-of-life improvements, plus we've squashed quite a few bugs to keep everything running smoothly. Here's what's new:

New: Greatly Improved AI Timesheet Suggestions

TL;DR: We've improved AI timesheet suggestions based on your feedback. Previously, the AI focused on underlying memory details, leading to fragmented and unintuitive suggestions. Now, it learns from your timeline as you see it, prioritizing dominant activities for more accurate predictions. These updates apply automatically in the memory timeline beta.

Many of you have been part of our new memory timeline experience beta – a big thank you to everyone who has sent us feedback! The key takeaway from the feedback we received, is that the AI's suggestions weren't intuitive and accurate enough.

To illustrate, let's look at a real example from our Senior AI Engineer, Amir;

In the screenshot below, our AI engineer used PyCharm twice — first from 11:05 to 11:30, then from 11:40 onward. Both sessions were for the same project ("Timely AI Agent"), but the AI suggestion (yellow with stripes) seemingly doesn't recognize this and suggests logging only parts of the work sessions. This is because, until now, the AI has considered the underlying memories of each memory group. So while this might be technically more accurate, it breaks expectations and makes it look inaccurate.

We put our heads together and thought up some ways to fix this. With this improvement, the AI model now sees and learns from your timeline exactly as you see it, including your custom memory groupings. Instead of analyzing all the noisy individual activities within each group, it focuses on the dominant group activity visible in your timeline, resulting in more accurate predictions that match your preferred way of organizing work.

Below you can see how the improved AI suggestion now covers both work sessions:

The update will take effect automatically after logging your next time entry. Note that these improvements are only available in the new memory timeline beta.

We think that this will be a massive improvement to the utility of the AI timesheet suggestions. Please let us know what you think by submitting your feedback!

Keep an eye on your inbox for an invite in the coming weeks as we gradually roll it out to selected customers.

New Features for Next-Generation Memory Timeline

AI-generated Timesheet Suggestions

We've added AI-generated timesheet suggestions to the next-generation Memory Timeline (currently in beta), helping complete your timesheets faster. This feature uses machine learning to suggest time allocations based on your past logging behavior.

Below you can see that Timely's AI has suggested that I log the recruiting sync and Freshteam activity to the "People & Team Management" project, together with an "Meetings & Communcation" activity tag.

AI timesheet suggestions have been popular in the 'classic' timeline experience, but because the suggestions were very granular, this caused extra work in rejecting or adjusting irrelevant entries.

With this new AI system, our goal is to simplify. Instead of suggesting individual 'memories' to log to projects, it now suggests a span of time instead. The algorithm analyses underlying activities, filters out 'noise', and predicts which project to log the time to. You can learn more about how it works and how to use it here.

Bugfixes for Next-Generation Memory Timeline

• Fixed an issue where the red line in the timeline was overlapping pop-ups for grouped memories.

• Corrected a problem where the "Add all to time entry" function was adding time that wasn't visible to users.

• Corrected a problem where the States dropdown in the hour editor was hidden behind the Timeline.

New Features

Interactive Data Table for Timesheets

We've moved the basic list of time entries in the Timesheets tab (available from Reports and individual project and user pages) into an interactive table. The table uses screen space better, lets you quickly sort, filter, and customize which columns to show and their order.

Here’s how it looked before. Notice how each row took up a lot of vertical space.

The new interactive table displays more information in less space, making it easier to quickly overview your employees' timesheets:

We’ve also added several customization options for how data is displayed:

• Customize the time format to show as “1h 30m”, “1.5”, or “1:30”.

• Add zebra striping and borders for better readability.

• Choose which columns to display and in what order.

We're currently working on these improvements:

• Adding row and column totals to make it easy to sum up data in view, as well as sums for selected rows.

• Ability to add client as a separate column.

• Ability to add note as a separate column (released).

We aim to ship these improvements in the next few weeks. Remember you can also export your data as a CSV file with all fields included, allowing you to customize it to your exact needs.

Asana Integration

Introducing our new Asana integration (available on Premium, Unlimited, and Unlimited Plus plans). This powerful sync allows you to import projects, users, tasks, and tags from Asana, keeping your Timely workspace up-to-date with your Asana workflow, streamlining your project management and time tracking processes.

Per-Project User Cost Rates

We've added support for setting different cost rates for each user on a per-project basis. This is useful if you need to vary a team member's cost rate across different projects. This feature is currently only available for enterprise customers, please get in touch if you're interested.

Improvements

• You can now export entries without totals from the Timesheets Export view, giving you more flexibility in how you analyze your time data.

• Outlook and Gmail memories now show email recipients, subject, and content, making it easier to accurately assign work to the correct project.

• Enhanced the CSV export functionality to include project descriptions.

• Improved the billing process to retain user selections for plan, cycle, and seats even if payment fails for 3D verification cards.

Bugfixes

• Resolved a bug where Budget Spent and Remaining amounts were showing incorrect currency for some users.

• Fixed an issue where bar charts were incorrectly showing data of deleted users.

• Resolved an error occurring when Team Leads tried to update hours logged to projects they're not part of.

• Fixed an issue with the monday.com integration where the project timeline wasn't being imported correctly.

• Corrected an issue with the monday.com integration where data excluded from sync was being synced.

• Fixed an issue where users on Windows 7 were receiving multiple update requests for the Tauri-based Memory app throughout the day.

• Fixed a problem where filters for new report templates were not working correctly.

• Corrected the API documentation for the default limit value in the all users endpoint.

• Fixed a bug where users were unable to update the state within a time entry.

• Resolved an issue where some users were receiving a “Not found” error when trying to log time.

• Fixed a formatting issue with the 'Download Memory' call-to-action copy.

We're constantly working to improve Timely and appreciate your patience as we iron out these issues. As always, if you encounter any problems or have suggestions for improvements, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. Happy time tracking! 🕒✨

Feels like August passed in less than twelve parsecs. And while we didn't make the Kessel run, we made many improvements to Timely.

We've spent most of the year revamping the UX for automatic time tracking in Timely. We're now very close to opening the new functionality to a wider audience, and we've spent most of August preparing for this. We can't wait to share what we believe will be a game-changer with all of you!

We've also continued our focus on fixing bugs and increasing the robustness and stability of our products, including the Memory app—the "lifeblood" of Timely that runs in the background and ensures you never forget a minute of work in your timesheets.

We know reliablity is important for you, so expect this focus to continue in the months coming along with major improvements to the general usability in Timely.

Thank you for your continued trust and for being a loyal Timely customer!
