iTimekeep

iTimekeep is timekeeping software built for lawyers and law firms. It is a strong fit for practices that want activity capture, matter-aware timecards and billing checks in one workflow. Its main drawback for early-stage comparisons is custom pricing.

Overview

iTimekeep turns work activity into draft time entries for attorneys to review, edit or reject. That supports both real-time recording and end-of-day review, and can reduce reliance on memory when reconstructing a day’s work. It does not remove the need for attorney review: drafts still need to reflect the work accurately.

Legal matters shape the product’s timecards, narratives and validation. Aderant says iTimekeep is compatible with all major practice-management systems, which could suit firms looking to preserve existing workflows. The product also completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit covering Security, Availability and Confidentiality with zero exceptions noted.

Key features

Capture, timers and review

AI captures activity across applications and drafts time entries with billing codes and compliant narratives. Floating timers and smart timecards that adapt by matter offer a more direct way to record work when needed. User-level controls and offline support let attorneys review, reject and edit entries away from a connection, giving firms flexibility without forcing them to accept automated drafts.

Billing checks and integrations

AI and rule-based validation check entries against firm and client requirements as they are entered. The Outlook integration turns calendar events and emails into compliant entries without requiring users to leave Outlook. For firms using Harvey, captured work can arrive in iTimekeep as a draft with matter context, duration and an AI-generated narrative. These integrations make the product more compelling where those workflows are already in use.

Pricing

iTimekeep is paid software with custom pricing; prospective buyers can request a demo or free trial. This sales-led approach may suit firms that want a tailored purchase discussion, but it makes straightforward budget comparisons difficult. No public seat limits or quotas are provided.

Platforms

iTimekeep is available on the web, Android and iOS, with an extension also offered. The iOS app supports iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch; the Android app is designed for legal professionals recording billable time on the move. Mobile access and offline review help attorneys keep timekeeping workflows going away from their desks.

Who it's for

iTimekeep is aimed at attorneys and law firms seeking to capture work more consistently and move it through matter-aware review and validation. It is particularly relevant to firms using Outlook or Harvey and those that want both automated capture and manual or timer-based entry. Buyers who need a public price before contacting a vendor, or whose work does not center on legal matters and billing requirements, should consider other options.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Captures activity across applications and drafts entries with billing codes and narratives, reducing the amount of work attorneys must reconstruct manually.
• Pros: Matter-adaptive timecards, timers, offline controls and mobile apps support several ways to record and review time.
• Pros: Outlook and Harvey integrations connect time capture to tools legal teams may already use.
• Pros: SOC 2 Type 2 audit completed with zero exceptions noted across Security, Availability and Confidentiality.
• Cons: Custom pricing and a trial with no stated duration make it harder to assess cost and evaluation time in advance.
• Cons: Automated entries still need attorney review to confirm their accuracy.

Alternatives

TIMENTRY is worth considering if you want a paid legal timekeeping option with a 14-day free evaluation and iOS and web platforms. Bill4Time is a better fit if a free plan and a published monthly rate matter; its Time & Billing plan is $49 a month, billed monthly, and includes time tracking, task and client management, a client portal and expense management.

PointOne is another paid option for buyers considering iOS, macOS, web or Windows platforms. Billables AI is a paid alternative available as an extension, macOS, web and Windows product. Laurel may suit buyers seeking a paid product with Android, iOS, web, Windows or API access; its pricing is one price for everything, with demos available through Laurel.

Hourglass is a paid web-based alternative. OneAdvanced Scribe is another paid web option, with pricing discussions handled through sales. RTG Bills may be preferable if you want a published starting price: RTG Bills Online starts at $15.95 a month for one user, with price varying by user count, and offers a free trial.

Verdict

Choose iTimekeep if you are a lawyer or firm seeking to turn captured work into reviewed, validated legal time entries, especially if Outlook or Harvey is part of your workflow. The combination of activity capture, matter-aware entry and mobile review is its clearest advantage. Look elsewhere if a published price is essential to your shortlist or you do not need legal-specific billing workflows.
