Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 0 of the 42 other time tracking apps we grade
Memtime is a desktop app that records the programs and files you work in and shows each day as a timeline, so hours can be logged to projects afterward instead of with timers. The recorded activity is stored only on the user's computer and is never uploaded. Time entries can be kept in the built-in web-based project platform or, on the higher plans, synced to project and accounting software.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Memtime, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for automatic tracking that never leaves your computer
Memtime records the programs and files you work in and shows the day as a timeline for logging hours afterwards, with the activity kept on your computer.
- 2
Paid plans start at $14 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $14 per user / month, billed annually ($12 on a 2-year term).
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial, no payment details needed; it does not convert into a subscription
- 4
It runs on 4 platforms
macOS, Windows, Linux and Web.
- 5
Automatic activity timeline
The app runs in the background and records time spent in programs. A day can be reviewed as a timeline, a list or a week calendar, in intervals from 1 to 60 minutes.
- 6
Activity data stays on the device
Captured activity is stored only on the user's computer and is not uploaded or synced. Only the time entries a user creates are shared with a team or an integration.
- 7
Calendar sync
Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, the macOS Calendar app, iCloud and other CalDAV calendars show appointments beside tracked activity, on every plan.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 0 of 42
That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
The plain part of Memtime you could make: time tracking, reports and tasks. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card
Best for automatic tracking that never leaves your computer
Memtime records the programs and files you work in and shows the day as a timeline for logging hours afterwards, with the activity kept on your computer. Basic is $14 a user and connects to no project software, integrations need Connect at $21 or Premium at $29, activity doesn't sync between your computers, there's no phone app or free plan, and checkout charges in euros.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Basic is $14 a user a month billed annually, which puts it in the dearest tenth of this category, and it has no project software integrations at all. Those mean Connect at $21, which allows 2, or Premium at $29. A 2-year term brings Basic to $12. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan. The 14-day trial needs no payment details and doesn't turn into a subscription on its own. But once it ends you need a subscription just to log in again. |
| Features | C | Background tracking, a timeline in intervals from 1 to 60 minutes, calendar sync and a built-in project platform. The gaps are in the listing: activity doesn't sync between your own computers, Basic connects to nothing, call tracking waits for Premium, and nothing here invoices. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It's a desktop app that records by itself, but the actual work is yours: going back over the day as a timeline, a list or a week calendar and deciding what counts, every day. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Windows, Mac and Linux for tracking, plus a web project platform you can open on a phone, though there's no phone app as such. There are 100+ integrations, Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Xero and Clio among them, but only on Connect and Premium. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Memtime is for
- Fits if you bill in short increments, the way lawyers and consultants do
- Works for teams that don't want activity data uploaded to a server
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you only want basic tracking, at $14 a user a month before any integrations
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because after the 14-day trial you need a subscription to log in
- Not for you if you work on two computers and want one timeline, as activity data doesn't sync between devices
- Tight if you need more than 2 integrations, call tracking or SSO, which all mean Premium at $29 a user
- Watch out: prices are listed in dollars, but checkout charges in euros and your card provider converts it

- Basic has no project software integrations, Connect allows 2, and SSO and call tracking need Premium.
- Dollar prices are listed, but the vendor says checkout shows the amount in euros and the card provider converts it.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Memtime you could make: time tracking, reports and tasks. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 39 of the 42 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $168 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, reports and tasks: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Jira, Asana and ClickUp among them.
What this rests on. Memtime’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
