Kimai is a professional open-source, web-based, multi-user time-tracking application built with PHP/Symfony. It supports timesheets, invoicing, reporting, exports, SAML/LDAP authentication, and can be self-hosted or used as a SaaS cloud offering.

Use cases

  • track billable hours for client projects
  • generate invoices from timesheets
  • manage team timesheets and working hours
  • track vacation, sick leave and absences
  • export time reports for accounting
  • self-host a GDPR-compliant time tracker
  • track time across multiple users and timezones

When to choose

  • you need a mature, self-hosted time tracker with invoicing built in
  • you want multi-user support with SAML/LDAP/2FA authentication
  • you need data sovereignty and full ownership of your time data
  • you run an agency or company that bills clients by the hour

When to avoid

  • you need a simple personal single-user timer without server setup
  • you cannot run PHP 8.2+ with MySQL/MariaDB and a webserver
  • you want a native desktop-first tracker rather than a web application
