We use Kimai as a self-hosted instance to manage working times, vacation and illness-days for ~40 employees. We love open source software and the passion Kevin Papst puts into that tool is a real gamechanger for us. 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!

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!

I have been using Kimai cloud for more than 1 year, and I am very satisfied about it ! It became easier for me to send monthly reports to my clients and to track my time spent on the projects I’m working on. Thank you very much !

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 :-)
