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.

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.

Kimai is an excellent time-tracking software that offers great flexibility and a lightweight, intuitive interface. It’s easy to use and has been a valuable tool for tracking work hours across our projects. We especially appreciate the variety of plug-ins available, which allow us to extend the software’s capabilities. Highly recommended for firms looking for a robust yet user-friendly solution.

Kimai combines usability and high data protection standards - a rare find in project management tools. Easy to setup and use right away, with many options for adapting it to specific needs and processes. One tip for first-users: Projects have to be set up in Administration in order to be able to start time tracking - so far that’s the only thing that got me searching.

Great work!
