TIMENTRY

Overview

TIMENTRY turns work activity into draft time entries for people who bill by the hour, particularly teams that need to code work to matters and check billing rules. It is strongest where a firm wants capture, attribution and compliance checks in one workflow; its beta status and firm-controlled accounts make it less suitable for individuals who want to sign up and buy independently.

Key features

Activity capture and draft entries

A desktop agent and cloud connectors capture email, meetings, calls and documents without asking users to start timers. AI groups related activity into work units and drafts narrative entries for review. This can help address forgotten work and inconsistent timer habits, but it does not remove the need to review drafts before submission.

Matter attribution and compliance

A deterministic resolver uses matter numbers, sender domains and names to match activities, with AI as a fallback. That rules-based approach suits firms with consistent identifiers, while the fallback can help with less direct matches. Before submission, TIMENTRY checks outside-counsel guidelines, prohibited task codes and billing rules, a meaningful advantage for teams working under client-specific requirements.

Integrations, analytics and security

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. The maker states that 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 as certified, HIPAA and GDPR as compliant, and DCB 0129 as in progress.

Pricing

TIMENTRY has no permanent free plan. Starter is free for a 14-day evaluation and includes the desktop capture agent, AI-drafted time entries, email and calendar capture, and up to 3 connected sources. It is a useful short evaluation for a small team, but the three-source cap and trial period limit its value as an ongoing option.

Professional has custom pricing and is licensed per firm. It includes everything in Starter, plus automatic matter attribution, compliance and billing rules, reports and utilisation insight, and M365, Google, Zoom and telephony connections. This is the relevant tier for firms that need the core matter and billing workflow, though firms must obtain a quote rather than purchase at a published price.

Enterprise is custom priced and tailored to the firm. It includes everything in Professional, plus SSO (SAML 2.0) and MFA, priority support and onboarding, and custom integrations. That package is aimed at organisations needing those additional controls and implementation support; it is not a self-service upgrade. TIMENTRY is in beta, licenses firms and in-house legal teams by written agreement, and has no self-service purchase. Accounts are created by a firm's administrator, not from the mobile app.

Platforms

TIMENTRY supports iOS and the web. Its capture workflow also uses a desktop agent, while account setup remains under firm administration rather than individual mobile signup.

Who it's for

The maker names legal, healthcare, accounting, and architecture and engineering as target industries. TIMENTRY is best suited to firms and in-house legal teams that bill by the hour and want activity captured, attributed to matters and checked against billing rules. It is a weaker fit for solo buyers who need immediate self-service access or a permanent free tier.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Passive capture across email, meetings, calls and documents can reduce dependence on starting timers and remembering work later.
• Pro: Matter matching and pre-submission checks address both coding and client billing-rule concerns within the same workflow.
• Pro: Dashboards cover utilisation, realisation, WIP aging, recovered hours and revenue insight, giving firms several operational measures beyond time capture.
• Con: Starter is only a 14-day evaluation and allows up to 3 connected sources, so it cannot serve as a lasting free option.
• Con: Custom firm licensing, written agreements and administrator-created accounts make adoption less direct for individuals or buyers wanting a public checkout.
• Con: The product is in beta, a consideration for firms evaluating a billing workflow they expect to rely on.

Alternatives

Legal Time Tracking Software is a useful category page for comparing options. Choose Bill4Time if a permanent free plan and public pricing matter more: it is freemium across web, Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and its Time & Billing plan is $49 a month, billed monthly, with time tracking, task and client management, a client portal and expense management.

PointOne is another paid option on iOS, macOS, web and Windows. Consider Billables AI if you prefer a paid option available as an extension, on macOS, web and Windows. Laurel is a paid option across Android, API, iOS, web and Windows, with one price for everything and demos available by contact.

Hourglass is a paid web option. RTG Bills may suit buyers seeking public per-user pricing and broad platform support: RTG Bills Online starts at $15.95 a month for one user, with price varying by number of users, and supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows.

Verdict

TIMENTRY is a strong fit for firms that want passive activity capture tied to matter attribution and billing-rule checks, with analytics for work and revenue oversight. Choose it when that connected workflow justifies custom, firm-level licensing and beta-stage adoption; look elsewhere if you need a permanent free plan, individual self-service purchase or a publicly priced subscription.
