Kimai
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.

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.
We use Kimai as a self-hosted instance to manage working times, vacation and illness-days for ~40 employees.

There are a lot of features and settings to adjust, but it’s not too complicated to maintain the whole system. Hopefully Kimai will be our mate for the next years to support our own story as a company, that is developing impactful and open source software!
