Todoist Time Tracking — Use Teetrack Alongside Todoist
Know how long your to-do list actually takes.
Teetrack does not have a native Todoist integration, but you can use both tools in a complementary workflow to pair your task list with precise time records.
Requirements
- A Todoist account with tasks organized by project
- A Teetrack account
How to Connect
Step 1: Align Todoist projects with Teetrack projects
Name your Teetrack projects to match your Todoist projects so entries map cleanly when you review timesheets.
Step 2: Start a Teetrack timer when you begin a Todoist task
Each time you pick a task from Todoist, switch to Teetrack and start a timer against the matching project. Stop it when you complete or pause the task.
Step 3: Use task names as time entry descriptions
Reference the Todoist task name in your Teetrack entry so reports are self-explanatory without cross-checking.
Step 4: Review completed tasks against tracked time
At the end of the week, compare your Todoist completed list with your Teetrack timesheet. Fill any gaps before generating a report.
What you can do
- Measure actual time per task: Todoist tells you what you planned to do. Teetrack reveals how long each item actually took, improving future estimates.
- Identify tasks that eat more time than expected: Recurring tasks that consistently exceed their planned duration show up clearly when you compare Todoist completions with Teetrack logs.
- Separate planning from execution data: Todoist handles priorities and due dates. Teetrack handles duration and billing. Together they cover the full picture without overlap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Teetrack have a native Todoist integration?
No. There is no direct connection between Teetrack and Todoist. You use Todoist for task planning and Teetrack for time tracking side by side.
Can completing a Todoist task automatically stop a Teetrack timer?
Not directly. You stop the timer manually in Teetrack when you finish the task. This ensures only intentional work gets recorded.
Is this workflow good for solo freelancers?
Yes. Many freelancers already use Todoist to manage deliverables. Adding Teetrack captures the time dimension so you can bill accurately and spot inefficiencies.
How do I handle subtasks?
You can either track time at the parent task level in Teetrack or create matching sub-entries. Choose the level of detail that matters for your reporting.
What if I only track time on some Todoist tasks?
That is fine. Track billable or high-priority tasks in Teetrack and leave low-stakes items in Todoist only. You control the granularity.
