These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain has been active for over 14 years and is registered to a verified German entity, Memtime GmbH, with a physical office in Munich. Our analysis shows no malware or phishing detections across 92 security engines. The site maintains a high traffic rank and holds positive ratings on major software review platforms. While our automated scanners flagged some technical patterns often seen in high-risk sites, these appear to be false positives related to the site's legitimate support and payment infrastructure. The primary risk identified is not fraud, but rather consumer complaints regarding strict subscription renewal policies.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The website provides a professional storefront for a time-tracking application, featuring detailed product documentation, integration guides, and a clear privacy policy emphasizing offline data storage.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a stable IP with a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. It utilizes standard content delivery networks for performance and does not exhibit the ephemeral setup typical of scam sites.

Domain History

Registered in 2010, the domain has a decade-long history of operation. It was previously known as timeBro before rebranding to Memtime, showing a consistent business evolution rather than a sudden appearance.

Web Reputation

The brand maintains a 4.4 to 4.5-star average across multiple independent review aggregators. While the majority of feedback is positive, there is a notable cluster of recent complaints regarding the company's use of debt collection agencies for disputed subscription renewals.
Risk Factors
4
  • Multiple consumer complaints regarding automatic subscription renewals without prior notification.
  • Reports of debt collection escalation for disputed or unpaid invoices.
  • Strict refund policies that have led to negative user experiences.
  • Hosting IP has a moderate history of abuse reports, though the domain itself is clean.
Positive Signals
4
  • Domain is over 14 years old and registered to a verified German corporation (GmbH).
  • Zero detections across 92 antivirus engines and major browser blocklists.
  • High volume of positive user reviews on established software comparison sites.
  • Transparent business information including a physical address and VAT ID in the imprint.
AI Recommendation
This is a legitimate service, but we recommend using a virtual credit card with a limit or setting a calendar reminder to cancel before the 14-day trial ends to avoid unexpected annual charges.

Tech-support scam — do not call

Pages like this impersonate Microsoft, Apple, or your ISP to trick you into calling a number or granting remote access.

  • Do not interact with memtime.com

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Do not call the number and do not install any "support" tool

    Microsoft, Apple, Google, and legitimate ISPs never show a pop-up with a phone number. Installing AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or "Windows Support" at their request hands over your computer.

  • Close the page — end the browser process if needed

    If the page has locked your browser, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc (Windows) or Cmd+Option+Esc (Mac) and end the browser task. Reopen your browser with "Don't restore tabs".

  • If you already gave remote access or paid

    Disconnect the device from the internet. Run a full scan with Malwarebytes or a reputable AV. Change your passwords from a different device. Call your bank to dispute any payment and request a new card.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags memtime.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — memtime.com scored 25/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. memtime.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 88 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • memtime.com is 14.7 years old, registered on 11/2/2011 through Amazon Registrar, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report memtime.com as clean.
  • No. memtime.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • memtime.com resolves to an IP operated by Webflow, Inc in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on July 3, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around memtime.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Final Verdict

0
Trust / 100
Final Verdict·memtime.com
DANGEROUS

Memtime is a legitimate automatic time-tracking software for professionals and teams. While the company is a verified German business with a long history, some users have reported aggressive billing and auto-renewal practices. You should review the cancellation terms carefully before starting a trial.

This is a legitimate service, but we recommend using a virtual credit card with a limit or setting a calendar reminder to cancel before the 14-day trial ends to avoid unexpected annual charges.
