Billing extract
New
24 August 2026
Pick a client and a period, and the billable work becomes priced lines you can copy or download — with as much or as little detail as the client should see.
Calendar meetings in The Queue
New
22 August 2026
Connect Google Calendar or Outlook and your meetings wait in The Queue with their length already filled in.
The Queue as cards or a list
Improved
22 August 2026
Cards to read a few items, a list to get through a week. Tidst remembers which you picked.
Recurring Todoist tasks show up
Fixed
21 August 2026
They never reached The Queue before — completing one rolls the due date forward instead of closing it. Every occurrence now turns up on its own.

Tidst is a time tracker for freelancers that turns completed Todoist tasks and calendar meetings into logged time you review yourself.

Tidst – Time Tracking Built for Your Todoist Workflow

Tidst brings completed Todoist tasks and relevant Google Calendar or Outlook meetings into one place called The Queue, so your timesheet does not have to start from memory. You review each item and decide what gets logged. Free to use.

How it works

Connect the Todoist projects you use for client work. When you complete a task in one of them, it can appear in The Queue with a suggested duration. Connect a calendar and relevant meetings can join it, already carrying their scheduled length. You confirm the duration, choose whether the work is billable, and log it – or dismiss it.

Nothing is logged automatically

The Queue is a review step, not an inbox that bills itself. Tidst can remember that work happened; you decide what belongs on the timesheet.

Todoist time labels

Add @15min, @30min, @45min, @60min or @90min to a Todoist task before completing it, and Tidst can use that duration when the task reaches The Queue.

What Tidst does not do

Tidst is not an activity tracker. It does not monitor apps, websites, browser history or screen activity, and it does not see work that never reached one of the sources you connected. For that work there is a normal timer and manual entries. The Queue reaches back seven days, and only into the Todoist projects you chose to connect.

Features

Todoist integration – a real API integration, not a browser extension. Completed tasks from connected projects can appear in The Queue.
Google Calendar & Outlook – connect either or both, and relevant past meetings land in The Queue alongside completed tasks, with their scheduled duration.
Timer and manual entries – for work that leaves no trail. You choose the workflow.
Editable history – go back and adjust entries after the fact.
Billing models – a client can be billed hourly, on a fixed fee or not at all, and Tidst shows what the work actually paid per hour.
Light & dark mode – synced across your devices.

Reporting and billing

Logged time becomes client and project totals, live client report links, PDF or CSV exports, and a billing extract – one client and period, grouped into priced lines you hand to whatever you invoice with. Tidst does not issue the invoice itself.

Pricing

Free – no trial, no card, no locked core features.

Unlimited clients, projects and time entries
Todoist, Google Calendar and Outlook
Reports, PDF & CSV export, and a billing extract
