Time tracking for the academic sector

Focus on reporting, not complicated administrative workflows

Managing time in higher education brings unique challenges, including lecture and class scheduling, research project tracking, student and faculty time allocation, and time consuming administrative tasks.

Effective time tracking solutions can help streamline these processes, allowing educators and researchers to focus on their core responsibilities.

Features for institution-wide time management

Our time tracking solution has been refined through collaboration with multiple universities. Real user feedback drives our development, ensuring features that truly serve academic needs.

Just to name a few of the academic institutes using Kimai: Universität Hamburg, Universität Bonn, Universität Wien, Universität Stuttgart, Universität Frankfurt, University of Fribourg, TU Dresden and the University of Moscow.

I 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!

I was testing Kimai several years ago and then I decided to move to different time tracking tools and the last time I was mostly working with Clockify and now I found Kimai back and I’m very impressed how the software is working, How fast it is. And I also really like a lot the approach to host the software on my own so that we keep our confidential data in our own systems. The software is easy to use, it’s fast, and I get all the features that I need, and the possibility to discuss on GitHub also helps a lot to find fast solutions. Thank you very much for your very good work and let’s work together for the future.
