timeOS Review

Best Features, Pricing, Alternatives & Verdict

timeOS wants to be your base for managing meetings with ease. So it covers every aspect around the capture, notes and scheduling of meetings in your Chrome tab. Is it worth it?

What is timeOS?

Previously called Magical HQ, timeOS wants to be your AI meeting assistant.

What does timeOS do?

timeOS is aiming to be the hub for everything meetings.

By allowing you to use the Chrome extension or the web app, you plug into Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, you can start importing upcoming meetings and your calendar to see meetings in advance, begin preparing public and private notes and transcribe the meeting as you're taking it.

The meeting can also be managed here allowing you to use the timeOS AI assistant to create and suggest recommendations for you.

Best & Worst Features of timeOS

Here's some of the best and not so good bits about the timeOS experience:

1. AI Functionality

The array of AI abilities was massive in timeOS.

From the timeOS new tab, you can join a meeting with the AI assistant allowing you to join Zoom or Google Meet meetings with an extra person. This saves time making notes and connecting those notes to the AI note-taking function.

If you're lacking in connection, you can go offline with a mobile recorder which will allow you to take your phone with you and save meetings notes more suitably on the go.

2. Meeting Scheduling

A smaller yet helpful feature is a way to share the upcoming meetings.

This is something we're commonly seeing in many tools in the productivity space and one of the benefits to having this is you could replace tools like Calendly that have a feature like this and it all works within the smart AI assistance of timeOS.

3. Expensive Pricing

This is one of the most expensive extension experience and really competes with $15 per month, Vimcal, which helps to handle everything meetings, calendar and AI.

For some people, not having an app for this might be a dealbreaker, but it works well within the New Tab Chrome extension we tested it in.

How much does timeOS cost?

timeOS starts at $15 per month, for a pro subscription.

timeOS Verdict: Worth It?

timeOS works well as a way to manage your meetings, but comes with an expensive cost.

Compared to a lot of calendar apps in the space, timeOS packed a fair amount of the AI abilities within and to be fair, it allowed for more unified, easier access than others have.

If you're in the hunt for something Chrome based, and as a site, and need a more serious management of your calendar with AI then it is worth looking at timeOS, whilst the costs are higher, it probably can save on the use of Calendly and an AI calendar app like Vimcal.
