Stintt vs Toggl Track
- No timer to start or stop
- Nothing installed on the laptop
- Timesheet drafted from calendar events
Toggl Track is the timer people actually like. Stintt is for the weeks where liking the timer was never the problem — remembering it was.
Toggl TrackStart-and-stop timers
- Someone has to press start
- Right only if they remember
Calendar events, read-only
- The week is already written down
- Chat covers what never got booked
- No agent on anyone’s laptop
Accurate only for as long as somebody remembers to press the button.
The browser app needs nothing; the Timeline that fills gaps is a desktop app.
Stintt vs Toggl Track, row by row
The same twelve rows every comparison on this site uses, so nothing is cherry-picked for Toggl Track. Where a capability is optional or plan-gated, it is marked partly rather than rounded either way.
Toggl Track earned its reputation honestly: the timer is fast, the apps are good, and the company has been unusually principled about not building surveillance features. None of that fixes the structural problem with timers, which is that the data only exists for the hours somebody remembered. Toggl's own answer is the desktop Timeline, which records app usage locally so you can fill the gaps — a good fix that still needs an app on the machine. Stintt fills the same gaps from the calendar, server-side, with nothing installed.

Three steps, and none of them is a migration.
There is no import from Toggl Track, and pretending otherwise would be the first promise we broke. There does not need to be — a connected calendar arrives carrying the history a new tracker would spend months collecting.
Connect a calendar
Read-only access, granted once. It cannot create, edit or delete an event, and there is nothing to install on anyone's machine.
The history is already there
Existing calendar events become a draft timesheet immediately, so the first week is a review rather than an empty grid waiting for data to accrue.
Review, approve, bill
Correct the draft, log anything off-calendar from chat, and approve. Only approved entries reach a client invoice, and discarded time stays on the record.
What Toggl Track leaves on the table
Three specific things, not a feature count.
Gap-filling without an agent
Toggl fills forgotten hours from a desktop timeline. Stintt fills them from calendar events the server already syncs, so a laptop that was closed all week still produces a timesheet.
An approval step that owns the invoice
In Stintt only approved entries roll into a client invoice, and discarded time is marked rather than deleted, so a disputed line can be answered months later.
One line for the work that never got booked
The twenty-minute call that never made it to a timer becomes a chat message instead of a lost hour.
When Toggl Track is the better choice
If your team likes the timer and actually uses it, Toggl Track is a better-polished timer than anything we would build. The reporting is mature and the privacy stance is genuine.
If none of that describes your team, the rest of this page is the case for switching. If some of it does, Toggl Track is a reasonable buy and we would rather you knew that here than after a trial.
What people ask about Toggl Track and Stintt
No, and that is deliberate. Calendar events become draft entries you review, and off-calendar work is logged in one sentence from chat. There is no button whose state can be wrong.
Less. Toggl's desktop Timeline records local app usage; Stintt has no desktop app at all. Calendar access is read-only and metadata-level, and staff can see exactly what was captured about them.
Both generate invoices from tracked time. Stintt adds a tax engine with Modern and India GST templates and an approval step that decides which hours are eligible in the first place; Toggl Track has the more mature reporting around rates and profitability.
