About Timely
Timely repositions Memory.app as the time tracker that understands AI-tool work.
The dominant theme is AI-aware activity capture. Memory.app — Timely's local capture agent — now distinguishes Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and Cursor Agents as discrete tools, pulls real window titles and URLs, and scrubs credentials from captured URLs before storage. Around that, Timely keeps grinding through platform work: inline project creation, OAuth auto-refresh, project audit logs, native changelog page, and integration manager improvements.
