WiseTime
WiseTime helps legal professionals capture work activity and reduce manual timekeeping for billing.
What WiseTime is
WiseTime helps legal professionals capture work activity and reduce manual timekeeping for billing. Its desktop app gathers activity into a private daily timeline, detects case references and can sync references from practice management systems to tag work to a matter. An AI narrative feature creates descriptions of recorded activity for billing and reports, with options to customize and translate them. Teams can filter activity reports by category, date and user, then export them as PDF or CSV. Activity stays private to each user until shared, and desktop exclusion settings can omit selected activities or applications. Users can set personal timeline retention separately from team retention; older personal timeline data is permanently deleted according to that setting. Listed integrations include Actionstep, Clio, HighQ, Lawcus, Microsoft 365, TeamConnect, PracticePanther, QuickBooks, Salesforce and Generic SQL. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial and no free plan. The console is accessible in a mobile browser, but the software must be installed on a laptop or desktop.
