Roadmap

Many features in Kimai started as an idea from a user. If you’re missing something, post it on Kimai Roadmap.

Before you request a feature

Search Kimai Roadmap first; browsing works without an account. The most popular ideas are at the top (Trending), and you can also sort by Most wanted, Most discussed and Recent, or filter by activity, status and tags. If the idea already exists, follow it or vote for it instead of posting a duplicate.

What happens after you submit

We review requests every week. Votes matter a lot, but they’re one signal among several: we also consider how many users a change helps, how much work it takes and how it fits Kimai’s direction. Each request shows its current status:

• Open: new, waiting for votes and our first look
• Planned: we intend to build it
• Started: we’re working on it
• Completed: it’s in Kimai
• Declined: we’ve decided not to build it
• Duplicate: we merged it with an existing request
