# WiseTime review (2026): is it worth it? > Automatic time capture and AI-written entries for law firms Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. 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. - **Category:** Time Tracking - **Made by:** WiseTime (Anaqua) (since 2010) - **Website:** https://wisetime.com - **Runs on:** Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you aren't in legal or professional services, as the product is aimed at law firms. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing WiseTime's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## 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. ## Good for - Law firms that want billable time captured without timers - Timekeepers who bill through Clio or another connected system - Firms of five or more people that want team-level time reports ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026.

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. - You could make: Time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux and iOS that stay in step with each other. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Clio, Microsoft Outlook and Mitratech TeamConnect among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
