Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 8 of the 98 other time tracking apps we grade
Tackle reads events from a Google or Outlook calendar and lets users tag them with clients, projects and custom properties, so time is tracked from the calendar instead of a separate timer. Tagged events feed dashboards, goals and exports, and automations can apply tags by rule. It is aimed at consultancies, executive assistants and customer-facing teams.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Tackle Time Tracking, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You connect calendars and build tagging rules.
- 1
Best for tracking time from Google or Outlook calendar events
Tackle turns calendar events into time entries and reports, with a free plan of 1 calendar.
- 2
Paid plans start at $30 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $30 per month for 3 calendars, billed yearly ($39 billed monthly).
- 3
There is a free plan
1 calendar, current-month data only, 10 lifetime exports, 10 automations and AI-powered tags for 10 entries.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Calendar-based tracking
Connects Google and Outlook calendars so meetings and events become time entries that can be tagged in place.
- 6
Custom tags and properties
Annotate events with your own tags, categories and properties, then filter and segment reports by them.
- 7
Automations
A rule builder applies tags to events automatically. The free plan allows 10 automations, Standard 50 and Premium 200.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 8 of 98
That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Tackle Time Tracking you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for tracking time from Google or Outlook calendar events
Tackle turns calendar events into time entries and reports, with a free plan of 1 calendar. But the free plan keeps only the current month, paid plans start at $30 for 3 calendars, and it only works if your work is on a calendar.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $30 a month for 3 calendars on yearly billing, $39 monthly. That's several times the $4.50 to $10 monthly range of time trackers. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan for 1 calendar, with only the current month's data, 10 exports and 10 automations. |
| Features | C | Calendar tags, automations, reports and exports. Goals and API need Premium, and work not on a calendar needs a paid stopwatch. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You connect calendars and build tagging rules. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and browser extension with Google Calendar, Outlook and Google Sheets. No desktop or phone apps listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Tackle Time Tracking is for
- Fits if your day is mostly meetings in Google or Outlook
- Makes sense if you want to see where meeting time goes
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you want history, since the free plan keeps only this month and Standard keeps 6
- Skip it if your work isn't on your calendar, as other time needs manual entries
- Not for you if you want goals or the API, both on Premium at $45
- Watch out: the refund window is 48 hours after subscribing
Good to know
Good for
- Executive assistants showing where a leader's calendar time goes
- Consultancies and agencies whose client work already lives in meetings
- Teams that want time data without a separate timer app
Worth knowing
- It builds on Google or Outlook calendar events, so work not on a calendar needs manual entries or the in-browser stopwatch (paid plans).
- The free plan keeps only the current month's data and 10 lifetime exports.
- Goals and API integration need Premium; the pricing page lists no desktop or mobile apps.
- The refund FAQ says to email within 48 hours of subscribing for a full refund.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Tackle Time Tracking you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $360 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, calendar and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Tackle Time Tracking’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
