TIMENTRY

Overview

TIMENTRY is a time-capture and billing workflow tool for professionals who bill by the hour, especially teams handling matter-based work. It is best suited to firms that want activity converted into reviewable time entries and checked against billing rules. Its beta status and firm-administered accounts make it a poor fit for individuals seeking an app they can buy and start using on their own.

Key features

Capture and draft

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 reduce reliance on memory and timer discipline, but review remains part of the workflow: captured activity is not automatically a finished, approved timesheet.

Matter attribution and billing checks

A deterministic resolver matches activity using matter numbers, sender domains and names, with AI as a fallback. The rules-based first pass is useful for firms with consistent matter identifiers; the fallback can address cases those signals do not resolve. Before submission, TIMENTRY checks outside-counsel guidelines, prohibited task codes and billing rules, making it a stronger fit for teams that need to enforce client-specific billing requirements.

Integrations, analytics and security

Connections include Outlook, Gmail, Teams, Zoom, QuickBooks, Xero, LawPay and Clio, alongside Microsoft 365, Google and telephony connections. That breadth can support firms already working across those services, while custom integrations are reserved for Enterprise. Live dashboards cover utilisation, realisation, WIP aging, recovered hours and revenue insight, giving firm leaders a view beyond individual time entries.

The maker says data and integration credentials are encrypted at rest and in transit, and lists SAML 2.0 SSO with MFA. Its homepage identifies ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 as certified, HIPAA and GDPR as compliant, and DCB 0129 as in progress. These credentials may matter to organizations assessing governance requirements; DCB 0129 is not presented as complete.

Pricing

TIMENTRY has no ongoing free plan or self-service purchase. Its Starter plan costs nothing 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. That is a time-limited way to assess capture and drafting, but the source cap limits how broadly a firm can evaluate connected workflows.

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 is the relevant tier for firms that need the core billing controls and reporting beyond the evaluation.

Enterprise also has custom pricing, tailored to the firm. It includes everything in Professional plus SSO (SAML 2.0) and MFA, priority support and onboarding, and custom integrations. The added services suit organizations with identity, deployment or integration needs, but require a written agreement rather than an online checkout. TIMENTRY licenses firms and in-house legal teams by written agreement, and accounts are created by a firm's administrator.

Platforms

TIMENTRY supports web and iOS access, with activity capture also relying on a desktop agent. The mobile app is not a route for creating a firm account, so deployment depends on a firm's TIMENTRY administrator.

Who it's for

The named target industries are legal, healthcare, accounting, and architecture and engineering. The strongest case is for professional teams billing by the hour that need matter attribution, billing-rule checks and visibility into utilisation or work in progress. It is less suitable for solo users who need to sign up independently, or buyers who want a public recurring price before contacting a vendor. Support is available by email, and users can contact a person without a ticket number or portal.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Passive capture and AI-drafted entries reduce dependence on starting timers and recalling work later.
• Pros: Matter matching combines explicit identifiers with an AI fallback, while pre-submission checks address billing restrictions.
• Pros: Dashboards cover utilisation, realisation, WIP aging, recovered hours and revenue insight.
• Cons: The 14-day Starter evaluation is not an ongoing free tier, and it caps connected sources at 3.
• Cons: Professional and Enterprise use custom pricing, and firm access requires administrator-created accounts rather than self-service signup.
• Cons: TIMENTRY is in beta, a material consideration for firms evaluating a billing workflow for operational use.

Verdict

Choose TIMENTRY if your professional firm wants passive activity capture tied to matter attribution, billing compliance checks and firm-level reporting. Its combination of draft entries and billing controls is the main reason to consider it; beta status, custom pricing and administrator-led access are the main reasons to look elsewhere if you need a mature, self-service or publicly priced tool.
