Open-source Clockify alternatives

Solidtime is a contemporary time tracking application for freelancers and agencies, released as open source. It provides an easy-to-use interface for logging time against projects and tasks, and is built with Laravel and Vue.

Beyond tracking time, you can create and manage projects with members, tasks inside projects, and clients attached to projects. Billable rates can be set for projects, project members, organization members and whole organizations. One account can manage multiple organizations, roles and permissions control access, and data can be imported from Toggl, Clockify and generic time entry CSV files.

Solidtime can be self-hosted using the published guides and an examples repository, or used through solidtime cloud if you do not want to run it. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0, and the contributing rules ask for an issue or discussion before pull requests. It suits small teams moving off Toggl or Clockify who want billing-friendly reports and control over their data.

Kimai is a professional time-tracking application that is free and open source. It handles use cases from solo freelancers to companies with dozens or hundreds of users, letting people record the time they spend on customers and projects, review timesheets and produce reports and invoices.

The feature list includes a JSON API, invoicing, data exports, multiple timers, a punch-in and punch-out mode, tags, multi-user support with multiple time zones, and translations into more than 30 languages. For security and administration it offers authentication via SAML, LDAP or the local database, two-factor authentication with TOTP, customizable role and team permissions and a responsive design. The application is built with PHP and Symfony.

Kimai is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and can be run on-premises on your own server, or you can use the SaaS version offered by the project. It suits freelancers, agencies and small and mid-sized companies that bill by the hour and want to keep time data under their control.

Traggo is a self-hosted time tracking tool with an unusual model: there are no tasks or projects, only tagged time spans. You decide what the tags mean, so you might add a project tag for client work and a type tag with values like email, programming or meeting to see how your hours are really spent.

The web interface offers customizable dashboards with diagrams, a list view and a calendar view of tracked time, several themes, and simple user management. It is designed to be easy to set up, and the project provides an install guide and configuration documentation. Because you run it yourself, no third party can read your time data.

Traggo is written in Go and licensed under GPL-3.0. It ships as a server you host on your own machine or a small VPS, with versioning based on SemVer. It suits freelancers, small teams and individuals who want flexible, privacy-respecting time statistics and who prefer organizing work with free-form tags rather than a fixed project hierarchy.

Ever Teams is an open work and project management platform from Ever Co, described as the workplace for humans. It combines project and task management with time tracking, and its topics position it as an alternative to tools such as Jira and Linear, with kanban boards, issue tracking and team management.

The README states the platform is in active development, so it should be used with caution. Planned features include workforce management, time and activity tracking, productivity metrics, projects, tasks and issues, organizations and teams, tags and labels, integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Jira, and dark, black and light themes. It ships as a web platform, mobile apps for iOS and Android built with React Native and a browser extension, and it uses the headless APIs of Ever Gauzy, the company's open business management platform.

Hosted web, demo and staging applications are linked from the repository, along with documentation and a Storybook for the UI kit. Ever Teams is written in TypeScript and licensed under AGPL-3.0.

Watson is a command-line tool for tracking how much time you spend on your projects, for example to prepare a report for a client. This listing is named after the Jazzband community that maintains the project. You start the timer with a start command and stop it with a stop command, which records what Watson calls a frame.

Each frame holds a project name and optional tags, and tags can be shared across projects to build detailed reports. Everything is stored on your own computer, and the sync command can upload sessions to your own crick server so they can be kept remotely and shared with colleagues.

Watson is written in Python and runs on any platform Python supports, including Windows, macOS, Linux and BSD. It installs with pip as td-watson, through Homebrew on macOS, or from distribution packages such as the Arch Linux AUR. The documentation has a user guide, command reference and configuration pages, and the project is MIT licensed.
