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.

Kimai has been a fantastic discovery. I reviewed several other time trackers, and frankly, none of them compared. Kimai just felt better right away. It’s easy to set up and use, with a clean design and just the right balance between features and simplicity, and the self-hosting option is a huge plus.

Highly recommended and big thumbs up from me!

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.

It is a great app, I will say I am not using it yet all its future, but to track my working hours it is working like magic. Customer service is also helpful and fast-responding, I recommend it to any new freelancer, because of its suitable price!. Thank you
