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.
