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.

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.

I needed to find a good time tracker on short notice, and wanted it to be EU hosted and open source. Luckily, I found Kimai and have been very happy with it ever since, especially because it is very straightforward and intuitive to use. After using it for my initial project, the Kimai team helped me migrate my data for company use, now allowing us to roll it out for the entire team without losing the original data. Keep up the good work!

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.

As a freelancer, time keeping is really important. Kimai makes it a breeze doing so. Thanks to the API I can automatically start and stop timings when arriving/leaving my customers’ premises. And best of all, it’s from Europe! :-) Thanks for making such a nice software !

We love Kimai! It’s a first class time tracking tool with so many features, that we hardly can’t make use of. And their support is excellent too, even on bank holidays. Can’t recommend it enough.
