# Timely

> Automatic time tracking with AI-drafted timesheets for teams

Timely is a time tracking platform for consultancies, agencies and software teams that records work automatically instead of relying on timers. Its Memory app captures activity on a Mac or Windows computer to a private timeline, and AI drafts timesheets from that record for the user to approve. Managers get project dashboards, budgets, capacity planning, reports and invoicing on top of the tracked hours.
