TIMENTRY

TIMENTRY captures work activity and drafts matter-coded time entries for professionals who bill by the hour. A desktop agent and cloud connectors gather activity from email, meetings, calls, and documents without requiring users to start timers. AI groups related activity into work units and prepares narrative entries for review. A deterministic resolver matches activity using matter numbers, sender domains, and names, with AI as a fallback. Before submission, the product checks entries against outside-counsel guidelines, prohibited task codes, and billing rules. Live dashboards cover utilisation, realisation, WIP aging, recovered hours, and revenue insight. Listed connections include Outlook, Gmail, Teams, Zoom, QuickBooks, Xero, LawPay, and Clio, alongside Microsoft 365, Google, and telephony connections. TIMENTRY is available on iOS and web. The maker says data and integration credentials are encrypted at rest and in transit, and lists SAML 2.0 SSO with MFA. The product is in beta, licensed to firms and in-house legal teams by written agreement, and has no self-service purchase. Pricing is available on request; the Starter plan is a free evaluation for 14 days.

TIMENTRY automates activity capture and prepares entries that users can review before submission. It is a beta product licensed by written agreement, rather than a self-service purchase.

TIMENTRY may suit hourly-billing professionals in legal, healthcare, accounting, and architecture and engineering. Firms must have an administrator create accounts, and the product is licensed by written agreement.

Overview

TIMENTRY turns work activity into draft, matter-coded time entries for professionals who bill by the hour. It is best suited to firms that need to capture work across connected tools and check entries against billing rules. Its strongest advantage is the combination of passive capture, matter attribution and pre-submission checks; beta status and firm-managed access make it a poor fit for individuals looking for a self-service app.

Key features

Activity capture and draft entries

A desktop agent and cloud connectors capture email, meetings, calls and documents without requiring users to start timers. AI groups related activity into work units and drafts narrative entries for review. This can help teams recover work that is easy to miss when relying on memory or timer discipline, but review remains part of the process: capture does not produce an automatically approved timesheet.

Matter attribution and billing checks

A deterministic resolver matches activities using matter numbers, sender domains and names, with AI as a fallback. Firms with consistent matter identifiers get a rules-based first pass at assigning work, while the fallback can help with less conclusive matches. Before submission, TIMENTRY checks outside-counsel guidelines, prohibited task codes and billing rules. That makes it a more compelling choice for teams facing client-specific billing constraints than for users who only need a basic timer.

Connections, analytics and security

The listed connections include Outlook, Gmail, Teams, Zoom, QuickBooks, Xero, LawPay and Clio, as well as Microsoft 365, Google and telephony connections. Live dashboards cover utilisation, realisation, WIP aging, recovered hours and revenue insight, giving firm leaders a view into both time capture and billing performance. The maker says data and integration credentials are encrypted at rest and in transit, and lists SAML 2.0 SSO with MFA. Its homepage lists ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certification, HIPAA and GDPR compliance, and DCB 0129 as in progress.

Pricing

TIMENTRY has no permanent free plan or self-service purchase. The Starter plan is free for a 14-day evaluation, with a desktop capture agent, AI-drafted time entries, email and calendar capture, and up to 3 connected sources. That is enough to evaluate the core capture and drafting workflow, but the source cap and short trial limit its usefulness for ongoing team use.

Professional has custom pricing and is licensed per firm. It adds automatic matter attribution, compliance and billing rules, reports and utilisation insight, and M365, Google, Zoom and telephony connections. It suits firms that need those billing controls and reporting capabilities. Enterprise is also custom pricing, tailored to the firm, and adds SSO (SAML 2.0) and MFA, priority support and onboarding, and custom integrations to Professional. Firms needing those access controls or implementation support have a reason to consider it; smaller teams may not need its additional services.

Licensing is by written agreement for firms and in-house legal teams. Accounts are created by a firm's TIMENTRY administrator, and users cannot create a firm from the mobile app, so individual buyers cannot simply subscribe and begin.

Platforms

TIMENTRY supports iOS and the web, with a desktop capture agent also included in Starter. Mobile access is available on iOS, but account creation remains controlled by a firm administrator. Android is not among its supported platforms, limiting its fit for teams that rely on Android devices.

Who it's for

The maker names legal, healthcare, accounting, and architecture and engineering as target industries. The product is most persuasive for firms in those fields that bill by the hour, use matter-based work, and need entries checked against billing rules. It is less suitable for solo buyers seeking immediate access, teams that want a permanent free tier, or users who need Android support.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Passive capture covers email, meetings, calls and documents, reducing dependence on users remembering to start timers.
• Pro: Matter attribution and checks for billing rules, prohibited task codes and outside-counsel guidelines address common sources of billing errors.
• Pro: Live dashboards include utilisation, WIP aging and recovered hours, useful measures for firms monitoring time and revenue.
• Con: Draft entries still need review, so the workflow does not remove the need for user oversight.
• Con: Custom-priced firm licensing and administrator-created accounts rule out a straightforward individual purchase.
• Con: Starter is a 14-day evaluation capped at 3 connected sources, not an ongoing free option.
• Con: Android is not supported, leaving Android-dependent teams without mobile access.

Verdict

TIMENTRY is a strong candidate for firms that want to turn activity across connected tools into reviewable, matter-coded entries and enforce billing rules before submission. Its combination of capture, attribution and compliance checks is the main reason to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need a self-service subscription, a permanent free plan or Android support.
