Timely

INFRA · APIS
Velocity5.0

Timely ships a team compliance dashboard and monday.com GA while cementing AutoSheet as its core differentiator with continuous reliability work.

Current state
Timely is an AI-powered time tracking platform built around AutoSheet (automated timesheet generation from activity capture) and a growing set of project integrations (Jira, ClickUp, Asana, monday.com, Teams). The product is in heavy polish mode on AutoSheet reliability — fixing drag edge cases, special character handling, submit race conditions, and Safari rendering issues. It has also been building out its admin tooling: a compliance dashboard with per-user logging visibility, saved filter persistence across sessions, and bulk project/client operations.
Where it's heading
The recent pattern is integration breadth (monday.com general availability, Teams phone call tracking, Jira custom field exports) combined with increasing admin oversight capabilities (compliance dashboard, utilization percentage in reports, CSV import reverts). Timely is moving toward a mode where managers can audit team time habits, not just view aggregate numbers. The malware scanning addition and Azure AD auto-recovery signal infrastructure maturity.
Prediction
The compliance dashboard is likely to expand — the current version shows adoption and logging metrics; upcoming iterations will probably add manager-initiated reminders and policy configuration. The ClickUp tag sync gap (manual sync previously required) being fixed suggests similar reliability work is coming for other integrations.

Recent moves

    Faster Linked-Work Search, Flexible Time Logging, and Reliability Fixes

    Cross-integration tag sync automation (tags applied in linked tools now appear in Timely automatically) and improved linked-work search performance for large accounts address two persistent friction points in Timely's integration model. The AutoSheet drag reliability fixes resolve a category of issues that would cause data loss in the most active part of the product.

    Compliance Dashboard, Saved Filters, and Sync Reliability Improvements

    The Compliance Dashboard is the most admin-facing feature Timely has shipped: it surfaces who is logging, how consistently, and which team members haven't adopted Memory, with reminder and export capabilities. Paired with saved filter persistence in Tasks Analytics, this release shifts Timely further into management tooling territory beyond pure time capture.

    Manual AutoSheet time, monday.com setup guidance, and security improvements

    Manual time entry on days with no captured activity fills a gap that previously required the Memory app to be installed and active. The malware scanning addition for file uploads (CSV imports, logos) is a meaningful security baseline that most small SaaS products don't implement. The Utilization % column in reports makes billability visible directly in the reporting surface.

    Faster task linking, smarter client management, and key bug fixes

    A release of integration reliability and UX polish: duplicate client detection during imports, faster task linking, archived client sync correction, and a Todoist restore. These are correctness fixes that improve the day-to-day reliability of Timely's integrations but add no new capabilities.

    Timely: AutoSheet reliability overhaul, project picker, and CSV import undo

    AutoSheet's core UX gets a significant reliability pass: progress saving across reloads and device switches, clean handling of quiet days, duplicate-submit prevention, and a member-first project picker. The CSV import revert capability is a genuine admin safety net — something most time tracking tools don't offer. These changes reduce the trust tax that AutoSheet users pay every time they open the product.

    monday.com integration launches, plus Gmail and AutoSheet fixes

    The monday.com integration comes off the waiting list for every workspace. It is the third project tool joining Jira, Asana and ClickUp as an activity source, which is the steady widening this feed shows.
