Timeneye vs Todoist
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Timeneye and Todoist — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Timeneye vs Todoist: at a glance
What is Timeneye?
Timeneye became Lucen Track, then turned a timer into a system of record.
The product was renamed from Timeneye to Lucen Track in May as its parent rebranded to Lucen Software, and as of August it sits behind a shared login across the Lucen suite with a redesigned interface. Underneath the rebrand, the last four months added time off tracking with approvals and holidays, global non-billable phases and tags, Enterprise custom fields across every object, and an MCP server that lets AI assistants read and write time entries. Shipping cadence is roughly twice a month with real features each time.
What is Todoist?
Todoist's 2026 bets are on capture: voice via Ramble, photos and files via Task Capture.
The entries SparkPulse tracks for Todoist are help-center index pages rather than dated release notes, so the detail is thin. They show a 2026 built around getting tasks into the app with less typing: Ramble turns spoken thoughts into tasks (January), came to Wear OS in beta (March), and Task Capture scans notes, photos and files for tasks (beta, April). Later months cover urgency triage and capturing tasks wherever they appear, while the experimental track retired Goals and simplified Quick Add.

Timeneye became Lucen Track, then turned a timer into a system of record.
◆ Current state
The product was renamed from Timeneye to Lucen Track in May as its parent rebranded to Lucen Software, and as of August it sits behind a shared login across the Lucen suite with a redesigned interface. Underneath the rebrand, the last four months added time off tracking with approvals and holidays, global non-billable phases and tags, Enterprise custom fields across every object, and an MCP server that lets AI assistants read and write time entries. Shipping cadence is roughly twice a month with real features each time.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things are happening at once. The visible one is consolidation — one login, one Entra app, one design language across Lucen products, which is what a company assembling a suite does before it starts cross-selling. The less visible one is that Track keeps absorbing the work that used to happen around the timesheet: absence requests, billability rules, business-specific fields, and now programmatic access. Each addition makes Track the place the billing data is finished rather than a feed into something else.
◆ Prediction
The unified login and the suite framing point to cross-product features next — shared reporting or a single admin surface across Lucen products — with the Enterprise plan continuing to absorb the newest capabilities as custom fields did.
Todoist
0.0PM
Todoist's 2026 bets are on capture: voice via Ramble, photos and files via Task Capture.
◆ Current state
The entries SparkPulse tracks for Todoist are help-center index pages rather than dated release notes, so the detail is thin. They show a 2026 built around getting tasks into the app with less typing: Ramble turns spoken thoughts into tasks (January), came to Wear OS in beta (March), and Task Capture scans notes, photos and files for tasks (beta, April). Later months cover urgency triage and capturing tasks wherever they appear, while the experimental track retired Goals and simplified Quick Add.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is AI-assisted capture spreading across inputs and devices: speech first, then images and documents, then other surfaces. The experimental channel is being used to test and prune, as the retired Goals beta shows, so not every beta becomes a permanent feature.
◆ Prediction
Expect Task Capture and Ramble to leave beta or spread to more platforms; the index pages don't give dates, so timing is unclear.
