️ What does this tool offer? ✏
Tardis is a smart time-tracking and billing tool designed specifically for developers and freelancers that automatically logs work hours instead of relying on manual timers.

The tool relies on actual work signals—such as Git commits, Claude Code sessions, container launches, and active project folders—to reconstruct work sessions and calculate billable hours.

It also supports natural language time entry and provides a native MCP Server and REST API, allowing AI agents to read and edit time logs and prepare invoice drafts.

Tardis offers an open-source menu bar app for macOS,along with a web-based dashboard and integrations with Telegram and Slack. The information provided also indicates future support for mobile apps, WhatsApp, and voice notes.

Recorded hours can be converted into reviewable invoice drafts and exported to LexOffice, SevDesk, or as a CSVfile ,without automatically sending the invoice.

In terms of privacy, the tool relies on optional tracking sources that are disabled by default and can be turned off at any time. Tardis – Official Website
