Alessandro Pollastri
DeveloperI love how I can combine time tracking, expense tracking, and invoicing into one app without features hidden behind nagging subscriptions. I can click one button to invoice my clients now! Seriously a godsend. Also, the clean UI is well thought-out and simple to learn. Highly recommend this one!
Isaac Mailach
Media Composer and Studio CellistI needed to find a good time tracker on short notice, and wanted it to be EU hosted and open source. Luckily, I found Kimai and have been very happy with it ever since, especially because it is very straightforward and intuitive to use. After using it for my initial project, the Kimai team helped me migrate my data for company use, now allowing us to roll it out for the entire team without losing the original data. Keep up the good work!

EntwicklerWhat can Kimai do for you?
Kimai offers much more than just time-tracking, here is a list of other important business functions.
Plugins
Kimai was built to be extendable, and features can be added with plugins. Developers wanting to create them can use many extension points.
Multi user
Kimai can be used by as many users as you want: each installation supports unlimited users with different roles (see permissions).
Multi language
Kimai can be localized to any language and is already translated to more than 30 languages.
Teams
Teams can be created to group your users into logical groups like departments or project related peer-groups. Customers and projects can be assigned to those teams, which will limit visibility and access for other users.
Customers
Manage your customers and set address, contacts, country, currency, visibility (for archiving) and many more fields.
Projects
Manage projects for each customer with order number, budget and visibility (for archiving).
Invoicing
Different invoice templates, options for entry grouping, configurable invoice numbers, and you can add your own templates in PDF, DOCX, HTML, XLSX, and ODS file format.
Export data
Timesheet data can be exported to other programs, or shared with different departments in XLSX (Excel), PDF, CSV and HTML format. Exported records can additionally be locked and protected against further changes.
Expenses
Buy the plugin and keep track of expenses based on customer, project and activity — for categorization and inclusion in your invoices.
SAML
Log in and register users via SAML (single sign-on aka SSO) and re-use your existing identity provider, like Google Workspace, Authentik or Azure Active Directory.
JSON API
Featuring an extensive JSON API for reading and writing data, so external apps and your custom tools can communicate with your favorite time-tracker.
Two-factor auth (2FA)
Kimai supports two-factor authentication with TOTP tokens: secure your user accounts today!
Statistics
Your dashboard will show you several statistics about recorded times and the amount of collected data. And we can always add more charts!
Docker
We have Docker images for development and there multiple variations of Docker-Compose setups for production usage.
Time-clock
Don’t want your users to log arbitrary timesheet records? Switch to the time-clock mode, which only allows “punch in” and “punch out” records. No more manually given start and end times.
