TimeNet Law
Keep that feedback coming. We’re listening! TimeNet Law 4.0.2 is here to make the main window client view a little more compact, refine some additional rough UI edges, add some new view options, and fix some bugs. Get it while it’s hot!
Hot on the heels of our big 4.0 update, TimeNet Law 4.0.1 is dropping quickly to fix some bugs and smooth some edges.
Your feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re so glad you’re enjoying the new version! This update fixes issues some users are reporting and is recommended for all users.
We’re thrilled to announce that TimeNet Law 4 is here! Our biggest update in 20 years, TimeNet Law 4 is a major overhaul of the entire system. We’ve poured over every detail to make sure TimeNet Law is easier to use and more powerful than ever!
20 years is a long time, and in that time, TimeNet Law has grown from a simple time tracking app into a full-blown law firm management suite. We’ve added hundreds of features over the years, and inevitably that comes with complexity.
While TimeNet Law 4 brings some huge new features, the behind-the-scenes story is one of refinement. We’ve re-thought the interface of practically every window, to make it less cluttered, more focused, and easier to navigate.
The first thing you’ll notice is the new icon. It feels right at home on macOS Big Sur.
The main window’s toolbar has been refined. Creating new clients, matters, timers and slips is now done under one unified Create New button. Your client and matter list has been given more room to breathe, and you can now see important matter details in each row.
The main window also has the brand new Dashboard, which gives you access to your tasks for the day and week, and the all new Launchpad with intelligent task surfacing. You can now create tasks and run timers right from the main window, too.
Settings windows have been decluttered. QuickHelp now lets you hover over any item to get details about how that feature works. This allowed us to remove explainer labels and make buttons and checkboxes more concise. The end result is easier to navigate and understand.
There’s a lot more: Timers now share a unified design. They can be directly interacted with by clicking on them to start or stop them. Entry windows now share a unified design with larger text fields and easily recognizable visual labels. And different areas of the program are color-coordinated, so you’ll always know if you’re in a report, a matter, the payment center, or your task manager.
TimeNet Law 4 is also loaded with new features. Let’s dig in to some of those now.
Mange tasks, events, and deadlines all in one place. Stay on top of everything with reminders, and bill tasks to your client with one click. Search for tasks and organize them with tags. Run the timer or mark them off right from the task manager. Now you can plan your day and do your timekeeping in one step. Easy.
The brand new Calendar View lets you see all tasks, events, and document deadlines in one place. Create, edit and delete tasks, and log your time faster than ever right from the calendar. Your time never looked so good.
As you create tasks, events and deadlines, Launchpad tames the chaos. Always know what’s coming up, and what to work on next. We’ll surface the things that matter most, when they matter, so you can stay focused and rocket through your day.
TimeNet Law 4 has a brand new sync engine. Now you and your team can work together in the same matter with no risk of data conflicts. And larger database will load and run reports even faster. This new sync engine paves the way for new things we’re excited to bring to TimeNet Law in the coming months.
A search bar in matter windows to quickly find entries, smart groups for clients and tasks, new report features, a refined Payment Center that makes it easier than ever to enter new payments and find and filter your client payment history, compatibility improvements for M1 Macs, and numerous other fixes and improvements.
We’ve been rolling out TimeNet Law 4 Beta 1 this week and the feedback has been great. We expect to have Beta 2 available in the next 1-2 weeks, and the final TimeNet Law 4 release will follow shortly thereafter!
We are super excited to show you what we’ve been working: TimeNet Law 4! This huge update is coming soon, and it’s loaded with fantastic new features and a gorgeous new smart dashboard. Soon we’ll also be offering some really exciting new services that you’re going to love. Let’s dive in!
TimeNet Law 4 gives you an entire scheduling and task management system that fully integrates with your billing. It’s a killer way to keep yourself and your team on task. Track deadlines and always know what meetings and tasks are coming up. And of course, because it’s integrated into your billing system, every task, meeting, and deadline can be automatically billed with one click.
TimeNet Law 4 has all the features you expect from a great task management system:
The new Smart Dashboard will quickly become an indispensable tool for your law firm. Be greeted every morning with critical insights about your law firm, an overview of your day or week, and a fantastic launchpad that keeps you focused and moving smoothly from one task to the next. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
TimeNet Law 4 manages all of your documents for you. Store them in your database so they’re always available to everyone, anywhere. Documents can be linked to clients and timers, assigned to timekeepers, and organized with tags and categories. Now all of your important firm and client files are right at your fingertips.
TimeNet Law 4 is just the start of something new and special. The items listed above are planned for the 4.0 release, but we are already hard at work creating even more great features. Coming shortly after 4.0, we have two more big updates planned.
An iOS app has been in development and promised for years now, and it’s still not here. There’s no excuse – this is our fault and we feel awful about it. While we have hit roadblock after roadblock creating an iOS app that lives up to our sky high standards of simplicity, power, and privacy, the simple fact is we haven’t delivered. And for that, we apologize.
We are committed to bringing TimeNet Law to your iPhone and iPad in early 2021, and have revamped our development timeline to do so, no matter what. It will roll out in incremental stages, but we know the #1 requested feature is simply to time tasks and log expenses while on the go, and that’s what we’re starting with.
We’re also creating a brand new system that will allow you to send and receive documents to and from your clients with paranoid encryption – because email is inherently insecure and inadequate. This system will let you message securely with your clients, share documents back and forth, and integrate directly with TimeNet Law’s new Document Management system.
This system will also give you customizable online client intake forms for your law firm, the ability to accept credit card payments from your clients, and a lot of other exciting new features. We’re calling it TimeNet Law Portal and it will be launching next year, after our iOS app is available.
We can’t wait for you to get your hands on TimeNet Law 4 and let us know what you think! We will be releasing more screenshots and details as we get closer to the final release, so be sure to check back here and follow us on Twitter!
