Time tracking for project-driven teams.

Visit Kimai

Kimai is an open-source time-tracking platform for recording work time, billable hours, expenses and invoicing. It can be used as a hosted cloud service or installed on your own server, with the same core features in both deployment options.

Features include project, customer and activity management, configurable invoice templates with PDF and DOCX output, e-invoice generation, timesheet exports, expense tracking, rate calculation, reports and statistics, a customer portal, time-clock mode, and a JSON API. Authentication supports LDAP, SAML and TOTP two-factor authentication, and additional capabilities are available through plugins. The interface is responsive for desktop and mobile use.

Kimai is aimed at freelancers, small teams and companies that need project-based time tracking and invoicing. The cloud service is priced per active user, with Standard and Professional editions, monthly or annual billing, and a 30-day free trial. Self-hosted installations are open source under AGPL 3 and can be deployed with Docker or manually.
