New feature
Tickets now belong to the person attending
A ticket now belongs to the person going, not just whoever paid. Details pre-fill, and member pricing follows the attendee rather than the credit card.

July 2026
Improvement
Fewer junk emails in your club inbox
Incoming email written in a script that has nothing to do with your part of the world can now go straight to junk instead of your conversation list.
Improvement
SMS balances now show in your own currency
SMS credit and costs now use your organisation’s billing currency, so a UK club sees pounds instead of doing mental arithmetic in Australian dollars.
Improvement
A new look for your TidyHQ invoices
We have moved TidyHQ’s own subscription billing to Stripe. Your invoices look different. They are still under Billing then History.
Improvement
Qatari Riyal support and better phone formatting
TidyHQ now supports the Qatari Riyal, and phone numbers are tidied up using your own country instead of assuming everyone is American.
Fixes
Fixes and small improvements — late July 2026
Family memberships through the API, a privacy slip on public pages, steadier custom mail domain setup, and eight other things we owed you.
New feature
Archive groups without losing their history
Retire a group you have finished with instead of deleting it. The history stays, Smart Groups keep working, and your email screens get a lot shorter.
Improvement
Remove a banner image from your web pages
You can take a banner image off a public page now, and there are remove-image controls in a lot more places across TidyHQ.
Improvement
Skip the welcome email when you add a member
When an admin creates a membership, the new-user email is now optional. Handy when you are tidying records at 11pm and nobody needs an invitation.
Improvement
A smoother path from joining to buying a ticket
When a ticket needs a membership, buyers get sent to the right membership page and can come back and finish paying.
Improvement
Link meeting minutes to a task you already have
Minutes can find and attach a task you already have instead of making you create a duplicate, and assigning agenda items now shows roles next to names.
Fixes
Fixes and small improvements — early July 2026
Task updates that are easier to scan, receipts that are findable, bigger emails, GIF uploads working again, and seven more.
June 2026
New feature
Talk through a task with mentions and images
The discussion on a project task is a proper conversation now: formatting, @mentions that actually notify people, images, and a link to any single message.
New featureEarly access
Two-way SMS, in early access
A handful of TidyConnect customers can now run a real club phone number: send a broadcast, get replies back, and keep the conversation in one place.
Improvement
Filter your attendee list by ticket type
Attendee lists have better filters, including by ticket type, and payment actions link straight through to the transaction or invoice behind them.
Improvement
A collapsible sidebar and more room to work
The admin area has had a fresh coat of paint. The sidebar collapses, the main section runs wider, and a few things have moved.
Improvement
Star the files you keep coming back to
Storage has starred files, clearer labelling for documents shared with you, and a tidier time uploading, moving and sharing.
ImprovementTidyConnect customers
A clearer warning before you email every admin
Announcements label the audience clearly and give you a proper warning when a message is about to land in every administrator’s inbox.
Improvement
Magic links survive email security scanners
Sign-in links open a confirmation page before they get used, so a corporate email scanner cannot burn the link before the actual person clicks it.
Fixes
Fixes and small improvements — June 2026
Clearer auto-renew wording, profile photos on admin-created memberships, private-meeting permissions in the API, and eleven others.
May 2026
New feature
Scan tickets at the gate with any smartphone
Ticket scanning is built into Events. Hand check-in to a volunteer with nothing but their phone, and without handing over the keys to everything else.
New feature
Stop members joining twice by mistake
You can stop someone registering a second membership at a level they already hold. That is the renewal mix-up behind most duplicate records.
Improvement
Collect profile photos when members sign up
Profile Photo is a registration question now, so you can gather photos at signup rather than chasing them afterwards.
Improvement
Share files from a peak body to affiliated clubs
Files can be shared from a peak body down to its affiliated organisations, so a policy update reaches every club without becoming an email attachment nobody can find.
Fixes
Fixes and small improvements — May 2026
Timezone-aware membership dates, a re-send welcome email action, draft meetings staying off your public page, and fourteen more.
April 2026
New feature
The new Meetings experience is on for everyone
Meetings V2 is the default for every new meeting now. Two people can write the minutes at once, it saves as you go, and agenda items take their own notes.
Improvement
A fresh look for your club’s public web pages
Your public web pages have been redrawn. Faster, better for search engines and screen readers, and a proper drawer menu on a phone.
Improvement
A cleaner shop and a simpler checkout
The public shop and its checkout have been redrawn, with clearer product cards, a step indicator, and an address section that no longer fights you.
Improvement
Update membership emails across every level at once
Change a welcome or reminder message once and push it to some or all of your membership levels, rather than opening each one in turn.
Improvement
Members can see documents attached to invoices
Invoice attachments show on the public invoice too, so when a member queries a charge you are both looking at the same piece of paper.
Fixes
Fixes and small improvements — April 2026
A sign-in loop inside in-app browsers, a permissions leak on restricted events, wallet pass errors, and five others.
March 2026
New feature
One-click sign-in from your email
Magic-link sign-in means a member clicks a button in their email and they are in. No password, no code to copy across, no phone call to you.
New feature
Keep an event visible to certain groups only
A new Visible To setting keeps an event to the groups you choose, so a members-only event stops publishing somebody’s home address to the internet.
Improvement
Project tasks hide completed work by default
Task filtering in Projects is richer, and completed tasks are filtered out by default so opening a project shows you what is still hanging over you.
ImprovementTidyConnect customers
Better scheduling and reporting for Announcements
Announcements picked up scheduling, clearer category subscriptions, better engagement reporting and navigation that makes sense.
Fixes
Fixes and small improvements — March 2026
Events that finished this morning vanishing from both pages, a last-ticket checkout problem, and four more.
February 2026
New feature
Let members pay by invoice at checkout
Members and attendees who cannot pay by card right now can pick an invoice at checkout instead of emailing you to ask whether that is allowed.
New feature
QR codes for your events and meetings
Grab a QR code wherever you would grab a share link, then put it on a poster, a sign at the clubhouse, or the back of a flyer.
Improvement
Members can see when a membership renews itself
A badge shows at registration when a membership level renews automatically, so a new member knows what they have signed up to before they wonder in twelve months.
Improvement
Filter members by level and status together
A new filter checks membership level and status at the same time, so "active Ordinary members" finally means active Ordinary members.
Fixes
Fixes and small improvements — February 2026
Canva PNG uploads that stalled, contact IDs in attendee exports, 50 MB web page attachments, and nine others.
January 2026
Improvement
See who has verified their email address
Contacts who have successfully signed in now carry an Email Verified badge, so you can tell a real address from a hopeful guess typed at a sign-on desk.
Fixes
Fixes and small improvements — January 2026
Tighter date validation, CSV imports no longer merging into trashed contacts, and Complete and Send on deposits actually sending. Sorry about that one.
December 2025
New featureBeta
Write meeting minutes together, at the same time
The new Meetings beta is open to everyone: collaborative editing, saving as you go, and notes on each agenda item.
Improvement
Filter and sort your projects
Projects have a new filter and sort experience, including the archived and template views, so you can narrow by status, assignee or label.
Improvement
Try every API call from inside the documentation
Our developer documentation has been rebuilt. Sign in with your organisation and test any endpoint against your own data, with samples in 20 languages.
Improvement
Your shop items can show up in Google Shopping
Public shop pages now carry the metadata Google Merchant looks for, which helps your club hoodies turn up in search and shopping results.
November 2025
New feature
Sign in with your fingerprint or face
TidyHQ supports passkeys now. Sign in with your fingerprint, your face or a security key. Nothing to remember, nothing to type.
New feature
Sign in with a code sent to your email
For members who would rather not manage a password at all, TidyHQ can email a one-time code to sign in with.
New featureBeta
Xero integration 2.0, now in beta
A rebuilt Xero integration is ready for its first testers. You need Stripe enabled and to not already be on the old integration.
Improvement
API keys replace passwords for developers
The OAuth 2.1 draft standard drops the password flow, so API keys now take its place for testing and interim work.
Fixes
Fixes and small improvements — November 2025
Membership level ordering on public pages, more merge tags in more places, a billing contact you can no longer accidentally delete, and nine more.
All of this is in the free plan too.
Start free under 20 contacts. No credit card, no setup fee.
