Tidst for solo work

Invoicing shouldn’t start with remembering.

The work already happened in your calendar and your task app. Tidst gathers it into one Queue for you to confirm, and each client’s hours come out priced the way you agreed. For freelancers, consultants, lawyers and anyone who bills their own hours.

The month is over. Now go and find it.

You open the calendar, the task list and the sent folder and work out what each client got from you. The big jobs make it onto the invoice. The fifteen-minute call usually does not.

In the last 90 days, seven in ten entries in Tidst arrived from a task app or a calendar.

The Queue

Your tools fill it. You decide what gets logged.

Finished tasks and calendar meetings land here with the client they belong to, often with the duration already known. Look it over after lunch or on Friday, fix what needs fixing, and log it. Calls that leave no trail go in with the timer or a typed line.

Finished tasks and meetings from every client, in one list. Log one, or all of them, when you have a minute.

“2 hours with Marta Okonkwo about the workbook.” Tidst reads the duration, the client and the project out of the sentence.

For the work that leaves no trail: a call, research, thinking time. Pause it, save it, it joins the rest.

Hours and billable value for the month, and each client against what you agreed with them.

Clients

Three clients, three different deals.

Set the terms once per client, and every hour you log is priced by that client’s agreement.

A fixed price

The hours still count, so when the project is done you know what it paid per hour, and your next quote can lean on it.

Rounding is a term like the rate: a tenth of an hour for one client, the exact minutes for the next. It is fixed onto each entry when you log it, so changing it later never rewrites last month.

When it’s time to bill

The lines are ready. Your invoicing tool takes it from there.

Pick a client and a period. The billing extract groups the billable work into priced lines you can rename or leave out, and you copy them or download a CSV into your accounting system, a spreadsheet or the template you already send. Tidst never sends the invoice itself.

Priced lines in four shapes, from one total to every entry, including hours with no rates at all.

Hourly, a fixed price or a retainer: each client’s hours are priced the way you agreed with them.

Share a live report. It updates as you log, and needs no account at their end. Open a real one →

Or the raw entries as a file, for the accountant who wants a spreadsheet.

Around the hours

Costs ride along. The week comes to you on Sunday.

Costs on the same bill

Kilometres, a licence, a subcontractor: add the cost to the client and it lands on that client’s extract. Mark one as yours and it stays on record, off the bill.

A short email every Sunday

The week’s hours and what they are worth, how much was billable, and what is still waiting in your Queue. With Premium, also the agreements running low and the hours not billed yet.

Integrations

Every client plans somewhere else. One Queue takes them all.

  • Wave 6 runs on Asana, Pollen on Trello, your own list lives in Todoist. Connect each one, and finished work from the projects you choose lands in the same Queue.

  • Relevant meetings join The Queue too, and so do emails you forward. A meeting arrives with its scheduled length, so a client call is one tap from your timesheet. An email arrives with the time you wrote at the top.

  • Reports by client and project, PDF, Excel and CSV, a billing extract in four formats, and a live report your client can open.

Assumes 48 working weeks. Tidst remembers supported work signals, not everything you do.

Everyone starts with the same account, with no caps on clients, projects, tools or entries. Premium is switched on from inside it, for the agreements, the extract, costs and goals.

Before you connect anything, the usual questions.

Does Tidst send my invoices? +

No. It gets the lines ready: one client and one period, grouped and priced by that client’s agreement, costs included. You copy them or download a CSV into whatever sends your invoices, from an accounting system to a spreadsheet.

Can every client be billed differently? +

Yes. Each client has their own hourly rate, and a project can have its own. With Premium a client can be on a fixed price or a monthly retainer instead, with their own rounding: a tenth of an hour, a quarter, half an hour or the exact minutes.

Does Tidst know how long a task took? +

Not on its own, so it helps you get there. A meeting brings its scheduled length, a duration tag on a task (like 30min) fills it in, and otherwise Tidst can suggest one from similar work you logged before. You confirm or change it before anything is logged.

What about work that leaves no trail? +

Start the timer, or type a line like “2 hours with Marta Okonkwo about the workbook” and Tidst reads the duration, the client and the project out of it. Manual entries work too.

Is Tidst an automatic activity tracker? +

No. Tidst never watches your screen or records what you do. It only listens to work signals from the tools you explicitly connect.

What does Tidst cost? +

The free plan has no limits on clients, projects, tools or entries. Premium adds agreements beyond an hourly rate, the billing extract, costs, goals and live client reports, for $6 a month or $60 a year from 1 January 2027. Accounts made before 2027 get Premium for life at no cost.
