Best for law firms that want hours captured automatically

WiseTime records what you do on Windows, Mac or Linux and writes a billing description for each matter, aimed at law firms. There's no published price, the Professional plan needs 5 users, and the phone app is iOS only.

Who WiseTime is for

  • Fits if you bill by the matter and use Clio or a similar practice system
  • Works for firms that don't want staff starting and stopping timers

Who WiseTime is not for

  • Skip it if you aren't in legal or professional services, as the product is aimed at law firms
  • Pricey if you can't tell: no price is published and Professional starts at 5 users
  • Not for you if you use Android, since the phone app is iOS only
  • Watch out: API access, single sign-on and custom connections are Enterprise, aimed at firms with over 50 users

Keep WiseTime, or make your own?

Keep it

The plain part of WiseTime you could make: time tracking and reports. 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: 58 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher.

What you could make

  • Time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.

What you could not

  • Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux and iOS that stay in step with each other.
  • It plugs into other products, Clio, Microsoft Outlook and Mitratech TeamConnect among them.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

What this rests on. WiseTime’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.

What is WiseTime?

WiseTime records desktop activity in the background and sorts it into client matters, so timekeepers do not run a start and stop timer. It drafts time-entry narratives from the recorded work and sends posted time to a connected billing or practice management system. The vendor positions it for law firms and describes it as part of Anaqua.

Worth knowing

  • No prices are published; pricing is quoted through a demo request.
  • The Professional plan has a 5-user minimum, keeps data for up to 12 months and uses cloud connections only.
  • The mobile app is iOS only, and the vendor's focus is legal timekeeping rather than general projects.
  • API access, single sign-on and bespoke connections are Enterprise features, aimed at firms with over 50 users.

Key features

Automatic time capture
Records activity across desktop apps on Windows, Mac and Linux while the user works, with no timer to start or stop.
Matter detection
Matter IDs sync from the connected practice management system, and recorded activity is tagged against the matching matter.
AI-written narratives
Summarizes recorded activity into a description for the invoice, with preferences to adjust the style or translate it.
Private timeline
Recorded time stays private to the user until they review, edit or delete entries and post them. Rules can leave private tasks out.
Billing system connections
Cloud connections to systems such as Clio send posted time to the right client or case. Other systems need an Enterprise connection.
Team dashboard and reports
Managers see how well their team records time and can export PDF or CSV reports by person, period or tag.
