How Clio firms compare WiseTime, MIRA, Daytimed, TimeSentry, and LegalTime AI

If your firm runs on Clio and you look for automatic time tracking, the same four names keep coming up: WiseTime, MIRA Timekeeping AI, Daytimed, and TimeSentry. Each one has a listing in Clio's App Directory, and each one captures work in the background so attorneys stop rebuilding the day from memory.

We build LegalTime AI, so we are not a neutral party. What we can do is set out what each product says it does, in its own materials, next to how LegalTime AI works. Then we list the questions that actually separate these tools once your own matters are on the screen.

What each product says it does

The descriptions below come from each vendor's own site and its Clio App Directory listing, as of October 2026. Products change, so confirm the details with each vendor before you decide.

WiseTime

WiseTime is part of Anaqua. It captures activity in the background and collects it in a private timeline. With Clio connected, matter IDs sync from Clio, and any matter ID that appears in a document name or email subject line is tagged to that matter. Attorneys review the timeline, add descriptions or charge codes, and choose which activities to send to Clio. WiseTime also offers AI-generated narratives.

MIRA Timekeeping AI

MIRA captures activity through API connections to Microsoft 365, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, Google Workspace, Zoom, iManage Work, and NetDocuments. It can also capture Chrome and Edge activity for sites the user allows, and offline file work on Windows and macOS for file types the user picks. MIRA states that it does not capture screens, take screenshots, or log keystrokes. With Clio connected, it syncs clients and matters, matches work to a matter, and sends approved entries to Clio. Attorneys review in Outlook, Teams, or the MIRA web portal.

Daytimed

Daytimed runs in the background through desktop apps and records activity across applications and documents. Attorneys review what was captured and send it to the matching Clio matter with one click. Admins can review, approve, and manage team entries in one place. Privacy settings control what is tracked, and the product emails a reminder to anyone who has not logged in.

TimeSentry

TimeSentry connects to Clio through Clio's API using OAuth and syncs matters, clients, and billing rates. It runs in the background across applications, maps work to Clio matters, and learns from corrections. Suggested entries with AI-written descriptions appear in the TimeSentry dashboard each day, and approved entries sync to Clio. It also offers daily reports that compare captured work with existing time records, and prebill analytics.

LegalTime AI

LegalTime AI captures the documents, email, calls, and research an attorney works on, then drafts each entry with the matter, billing code, narrative, and duration filled in. Drafts are visible only to that attorney. Nothing reaches Clio until the attorney approves it. Once approved, it lands in Clio Manage as an ordinary time entry through the firm's existing Clio login, and it can be edited there like anything typed by hand. We are a Clio Trusted Platform Developer.

Here is what happens to the data. Capture is local-first on the attorney's computer by default. When an attorney uses Create to draft entries, relevant activity is sent for AI processing under zero data retention agreements. The processors are listed on our subprocessors page. A SOC 2 Type II examination is in progress. We are not SOC 2 certified yet, and we will say so in writing. Pricing is per attorney, quoted per firm, on the pricing page.

Where Clio's own AI fits

Clio has built-in AI time tracking too. Clio describes it as capturing Outlook email activity, document work saved in OneDrive, and outbound calls made from the Clio mobile app, then drafting entries for review. If most of your billable day already happens in those places, look at it first. If a lot of the day happens in desktop documents, research tools, and calls elsewhere, read Is Clio Manage AI enough for automatic time capture?

How to compare them on a demo

On paper these products sound alike. The differences show up when you ask every vendor the same questions with a real week of your matters:

1. Where is activity captured, and where is it stored before an attorney looks at it?
2. What leaves the attorney's computer, when, and which processors receive it?
3. Who sees a draft before it reaches Clio? Can a partner or admin see raw activity?
4. How does the product pick the matter when the matter number is not in the file name or subject line?
5. Would you send the narrative to a client without rewriting it?
6. What is the security status today, in writing?
7. How is it priced, and what happens when the trial ends?

We wrote these out in more detail, with what a clear answer sounds like, in Questions to ask any Clio time capture add-on.

Who we built LegalTime AI for

We built LegalTime AI for privacy-conscious Clio firms, mostly 10 to 30 attorneys, where partners want entries drafted from the real working day but will not put a monitoring tool on anyone's laptop. If that sounds like your firm, book a demo and bring a week of matters. If it does not, the questions above will still help you choose well.
