Timely’s New List View Experience is here! Designed for those who prefer a structured, organized way to review their logged activity, List View presents your memories in an easy-to-read format, grouped by app and file name rather than time. This makes it perfect for tasks that involve fewer files, multitasking, or when you care more about what happened rather than when it happened.

To get started with the new Timeline Experience, simply log into your Timely account and head over to the Hours section. Click the Day view, or click the "New Entry" button on any day, and then click the "Try the new List View" button.

Once activated, the updated List and Timeline views will be available for you to explore. As we continue to iterate and improve on this experience, your feedback is essential as we work to help improve and refine the experience for all users. You'll see a "Share feedback" button along the bottom of your timeline where you can share your thoughts, and as always, can click the "?" button to chat with Support about any pressing concerns.

Unlike the New Timeline Experience view, which arranges your tracked activity based on time, the List View groups related memories together under the same app and file name. This provides a clearer, more structured way to review your work, helping you focus on content rather than sequencing.

Here’s what’s you can expect:

✅ Structured grouping – Memories are nested under their parent app, with sub-memories aggregated beneath them.

✅ Duration-based sorting – The longest memory groups appear at the top, making it easy to see where most of your time was spent.

✅ No start & end times – Since memories in List View combine multiple tracked moments, only the total duration is displayed.

✅ Logged section – Once memories are logged, they move to a dedicated bottom section.

✅ Separate from Timeline View – Any setting changes you make in Timeline View won’t affect List View, and vice versa.

• Memories are grouped by app name and file title, with related activities nested underneath.

• Sub-memories are created by aggregating memories that share the same source and file name.

• Each group is sorted by duration, from longest to shortest.

Logging time from List View functions a little differently than in Timeline View:

✔ Logged memories move to a separate “Logged” section at the bottom.

✔ Timestamps are still created for the Timeline View, even though List View doesn’t show explicit start and end times.

📝 As you log memories and create time entries, they’ll be organized in the “Logged” section at the bottom of the List View:

Timely gives you the flexibility to switch between List View and Timeline View anytime, so you can choose the format that best fits your workflow. Whether you prefer a structured, content-focused breakdown or a chronological view of your day, both options are available at your fingertips. Try them out, see what works best, and let us know what you think! 🚀

We hope you’ll enjoy exploring the New List View and find its structured format useful for reviewing your tracked time. However, since this is an early preview, we understand it might not be the perfect fit for everyone just yet.

If you’d like to switch back to the New Timeline experience, see the above instructions, and if you'd prefer to opt-out entirely back to the Classic Timeline/List Experience, you can do so at any time as well.

Before you go, we’d love your feedback! Click the “Share feedback” button to let us know what worked well—or what didn’t—so we can continue improving.

To switch back, head to the Day area in the Hours section, click the “Options” dropdown, and select “Switch back to Classic Timely.”

What’s different about List View compared to Timeline View?

List View organizes your memories by app and file name rather than time, making it easier to see what you worked on rather than when you worked on it. It’s sorted by total duration, with the longest memory groups at the top, rather than showing an exact timeline of your activity.

Can I switch between List View and Timeline View?

Yes! You can switch between List View and Timeline View anytime from the Day area in the Hours Dashboard or when creating a new time entry. Since each view uses a different logic for organizing time, your memories may look slightly different in each view.

If I log time in List View, will it affect my Timeline View?

Yes, but only in specific ways. Logged memories in List View still create timestamps for the Timeline View, but because memories are grouped differently in List View, they may appear differently when you switch back.

Why don’t memories in List View have exact start and end times?

List View groups multiple small memories together, so instead of showing start and end times, it displays the total duration of all related activities. This makes it easier to focus on how much time was spent on a particular task rather than the exact times it happened.

Will switching between views change my logged time?

No, your logged time remains the same. However, since each view displays memories differently, logged entries may look different when switching between List View and Timeline View.

Can I keep using the Classic Timeline & List Experience?

Yes! The Classic Timeline & List Experience is still available, and there are no current plans to remove it. If you’re using the New List View as part of an early preview and want to switch back, go to the Day area in the Hours Dashboard, click “Options,” and select “Switch back to Classic Timely.”
