What our customers say

At Kimai, we've designed our time tracking platform to meet the needs of agencies, teams, and freelancers. Our intuitive interface and powerful features help agencies like yours work smarter and more profitably. You can now “listen” to the reviews of the real users.

Very useful and functional Timetracking Software for multi users and projects (it is OpenSource, but development is maintained in GitHub now). Many features and beautiful design with the use of up-to-date OpenSource software libraries. I use it since two years and it became better and better. Even a mobile view for smart phones etc. is in development and maybe Apps for Android and iOS will come soon.

Really great piece of software. Brings exactly the grade of transparency to my customers that they love to see and for me it‘s a convenient way to track times without any overhead.

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!

Very useful and well maintained software! I use it everyday without problems. Feature requests are being considered and - if useful - implemented.

Great app! Simple to use, yet feature-rich. The interface is slick and polished. Although one reviewer said it is too limited in it’s capability, I think they failed to note that it is relatively easy to write your own extensions. For a 0.9x release, I found this app remarkably stable, easy to use, and had great core features.
