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.

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!

Kimai is my favorite software for tracking time spent on projects I have discovered. I have tried lots of different other solutions, i.e. Sugar CRM, but Kimai’s sweet and neat Web 2.0 usability beats them all. It’s user interface is an inspiring example for every Web developer out there.

If you are not tracking time yet, because it seems so complicated, give Kimai a try. You will love it!

And, best of all, it is open source, and free as in free beer. Enjoy :-)

Kimai has worked perfectly for CodeWeavers. We spent a great deal of energy comparing timesheet solutions, from proprietary to open source. None of the proprietary solutions had the functionality and simplicity of Kimai. Because it’s open source, we can confidently rely on it for years and years to come. Finally, we have hired Kevin to help us customize Kimai for our needs. His work has been fantastic. As a result, we have a professional solution, custom tailored to our needs, for far less than we were prepared to spend on one of the proprietary solutions.
