5 benefits of tracking Google Calendar events
1. See planned vs actual time
Very few meetings take exactly as long as planned. Struggling to claim the time lost on extended calls? Memtime quietly records your time in every meeting and allows you to compare planned vs actual duration of every Google Calendar appointment.
2. Uncover all distractions
How many times was a meeting interrupted by an urgent email or a Slack DM? These small distractions slip through the cracks to be forgotten before the meeting is over. Automatic time tracking is there to capture your every activity and help you pinpoint distractions.
3. Document meeting prep
Preparing for a meeting can take longer than the meeting itself. If you track billables and charge clients for your time, recovering the time spent on meeting prep can make a big difference to your profit margins. Memtime remembers your every minute in documents, notes, etc.
4. Log project times faster
You can quickly transform any Google Calendar event into a time entry, adjusting the actual meeting time based on what Memtime recorded. Time entries can be exported to your connected project software or stored locally in your custom Memtime projects.
5. Track offline appointments
Memtime records your program use as well as the time you’re away from your computer aka offline times. Seeing your offline times side by side with Google Calendar events, you can easily come up with descriptions and log your in-person appointments.

Most popular integrations Memtime connects with
Google Calendar analytics
Actual time in meetings
Google Calendar’s Time Insights can help you assess your time in meetings. However, this assessment comes with a lot of limitations; it is only an average for the previous 3 weeks or 3 months. Based on Memtime’s automatically captured activity timeline, you can recover every minute you actually spent in Google Calendar appointments for any time period.
Actual time with clients
Google Calendar can show you the total time you spent with a specific person in a given time frame. This is based on scheduled meetings that you RSVP’d “Yes” to attend. Meanwhile, Memtime will show you the factual time in any meeting, even the ones you or your client forgot to confirm but attended nonetheless. It will also show you the time spent in email and Slack exchanges with that person.
Actual focus time
Once you’ve scheduled focus time with no conflicting meetings, it will be available in your Google Calendar analytics. The reality of focus time, however, is that it’s often interrupted by small tasks and urgent requests that never get documented in your Time Insights. Memtime captures every little distraction and shows you a realistic picture of your focus times.
