Kimai is part of the Open-Source Community

Kimai is my favorite software for tracking time spent on projects I have discovered. I have tried lots of different other solutions, i.e. Sugar CRM, but Kimai’s sweet and neat Web 2.0 usability beats them all. It’s user interface is an inspiring example for every Web developer out there.

If you are not tracking time yet, because it seems so complicated, give Kimai a try. You will love it!

And, best of all, it is open source, and free as in free beer. Enjoy :-)

Kimai has worked perfectly for CodeWeavers. We spent a great deal of energy comparing timesheet solutions, from proprietary to open source. None of the proprietary solutions had the functionality and simplicity of Kimai. Because it’s open source, we can confidently rely on it for years and years to come. Finally, we have hired Kevin to help us customize Kimai for our needs. His work has been fantastic. As a result, we have a professional solution, custom tailored to our needs, for far less than we were prepared to spend on one of the proprietary solutions.

We recently made the switch from Toggl to a self-hosted Kimai. As a TYPO3 agency, open source, data sovereignty, and full control over the software were essential to us. We wanted to decide ourselves when to enable specific features and have the freedom to implement our own customizations. The migration of data from Toggl to Kimai was smooth, and our team quickly adapted to the interface, which resembles Toggl but offers more advanced options—especially for reporting and analytics.

Kimai has been with my company since the very beginning. As a service provider, it is important for us and our customers that we can bill for projects down to the minute. Our customers appreciate the clear overview of the work performed (duration, activity, etc.). We appreciate no Excel, everything in one place, faster and easier support, open source, and many other features.

Straight-forward, open-source, and no-client-required means it works cross-platform out of box? Where do I sign up!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful Open Source Project with us. I use and love it.

We are absolutely convinced by the solution. Above all, open source and self-hosting – that’s great! It runs very stably for us on an Ubuntu server in Hyper-V. The support is first-rate, competent, fast and friendly. My absolute recommendation.

I 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!
