Your timesheet, with a memory.

Why The Queue exists

The hard part is not doing the work.

It is remembering it later.

Freelance days are rarely tidy. You finish a task, jump into a call, answer something quickly, move on to another client and eventually forget half the small things that happened.

Traditional time tracking usually asks you to record the time while the work is happening.

The Queue takes a different approach. It starts with the work signals you already leave behind and gives you something concrete to review later.

Nothing gets logged by accident.

The Queue is a review step.

Tidst can remember that work happened. You still decide what belongs on the timesheet.

For each item you can:

• confirm or change the duration
• choose the right client or project
• mark it billable or non-billable
• log it, edit it or dismiss it

If Tidst found something that does not belong on your timesheet, leave it out. That decision stays with you.

Some items are ready. Others need a little help.

Not every Queue item arrives with the same amount of information. A calendar meeting may already have its duration. A Todoist task with @30min may be ready too. A task without a time label may simply need you to decide how long it took.

The goal is not to make every item automatic. It is to make sure you are not starting from memory alone.

Choose one, make any other changes and log it.

Review it your way.

Some days there are two things waiting. Other days there are twenty.

Cards

Better when you want to deal with one item at a time. Each item gets room for the information and actions you need.

List

Better when you have more waiting and want to scan quickly. Same Queue. Same data. Less space.

Tidst remembers which view you prefer.

See what is waiting before you open every item.

If you have added hourly rates, Tidst can show an approximate value for work waiting in The Queue — for example 4 waiting · ≈1,275 kr.

That number is not a promise that everything should be billed. It is a quick reminder that unfinished admin can have a real value attached to it.

Log several ready items at once.

If multiple Queue items already have the information they need, you should not have to click through each one individually. Use Log all for ready items and deal separately with anything that still needs attention.

The Queue should save admin time, not create another checklist.

Todoist time labels make The Queue faster.

If you already know roughly how long a task took, add a supported label before completing it in Todoist:

Tidst can use that label to fill in the duration when the task reaches The Queue. You still review it before logging.

That small hint can turn “How long did that take again?” into “Yep. 30 minutes. Log it.”

The Queue does not see everything.

Tidst is not an activity tracker. It does not monitor your screen, browser history or applications.

If a spontaneous phone call never became a Todoist task or calendar event, The Queue cannot magically know it happened. For that work, use the timer or add a manual entry.

The Queue is there to remember the useful signals your connected tools already have. Not to pretend it knows your entire day.
