Hey there. Yes, of course, we love freelancers! Timely (with Memory AI) already works great for a freelancer and we have special pricing for exactly that.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello everybody :) When we released Timely a few years back we always described it as the time tracking app to end time tracking. The truth is that it wasn't quite there at the time.

But now, with AI coming as far it has, we can finally actually able to deliver on that promise.

It's been a long road here and I'm so happy to launch it. Please let us know what you think! :)

Midnight, thank you so much for using it this long! That is seriously valued big time, and we appreciate it a lot! The visual stuff for planning is literally right around the corner. You'll have it this weekend or next week!

There were indeed some bugs that have since been squashed :)

Good blogpost, and it's a very, very valid point. I read the HIG up and down so many times and kept changing the UI.

The best way I ended up trying to get a "feel" of how this would work, was to add the designs to Flinto on an iPod touch, then covering up the rest of the screen except for the Apple Watch size. That way we could scroll around, etc. It worked for the feel of the size, but it's not a replacement for the real world use of it, of course.

There were definitively a few ah-ha moments when using it for the first time on an actual device, but I do feel we hit the experience pretty well. Apple has also featured the app as one of the best new apps for the Apple Watch, which is pretty awesome :) But yeah, completely understand your reasoning.

Regular apps can't use it – yet. I'm guessing we'll be able to come WWDC. That's why had to add those buttons you mentioned.

Thank you for saying that! Much appreciated :)

It's been both terrifying and a whole lot of fun to design for the Apple Watch. It's uncharted territory, which I cherish. But it's also weird to launch something and not being able to test if before everyone else does.

Anyhow, there will be a lot of useless apps made for this thing, but we feel that this product was made for Timely! It's such a natural extension for a time tracking and scheduling app.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Ah, it makes me truly happy to hear that! The frontpage video you're referencing took me an insane amount of time to finish. I hadn't done that kind of 3d stuff before, so I had to redo it a few times. Also, as I couldn't afford to get custom music made, I had to buy a song, which meant editing everything to match the story of the music, instead of the other way around. It's a very intersting creative way to make a video.

Anyhow, thanks again, really appreciate the comment. I'm available on [email protected] if you ever have questions.

Thank you for the nice comments! I actually had a call with Freshbooks a few weeks back, so we might be getting some great integrations going there.

Hehe, I can more or less promise you both of those things will be implemented.
