What users say about Kimai

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!

Die beste Software für die Projektzeiterfassung für Freelancer und kleine Unternehmen. Seit 16 Jahren im Einsatz bei uns, zuerst als lokale Installation, dann in der Cloudversion. Läuft und läuft und läuft ohne Probleme oder Störungen. Top Software, top Support! Eindeutige Empfehlung.

I love how I can combine time tracking, expense tracking, and invoicing into one app without features hidden behind nagging subscriptions. I can click one button to invoice my clients now! Seriously a godsend. Also, the clean UI is well thought-out and simple to learn. Highly recommend this one!

Wir nutzen Kimai seit Kurzem für unser Zeitmanagement und sind sehr zufrieden. Ein schönes Design und eine einfache Bedienung waren uns wichtig, der größte Pluspunkt ist jedoch der Support: Das Team antwortet schnell und geht auf alle Wünsche und Anliegen ein, auch wenn es mal eine Sonderlösung sein muss. Dadurch für uns eine absolute Empfehlung an alle, die eine Lösung zur Zeiterfassung suchen 👍

Usiamo Kimai da ormai due anni per tener traccia del tempo dedicato ad ogni fase dei nostri progetti e per la fatturazione delle ore verso le nostre realtà. Il software è completo, intuitivo e risponde appieno alle nostre necessità. Oltre a questo Kevin si è sempre dimostrato disponibile ad attento alle nostre necessità!
