About Kimai
Kimai records time spent on customers and projects and turns it into timesheets, reports, exports and invoices. It handles users and teams, offers a dashboard, supports SAML login and exposes a REST API, with a plugin marketplace for extra features such as a customer portal.
You can install it on your own server with Docker or manually under the AGPL 3 licence, keeping full control of the data, or use Kimai Cloud, a managed version hosted in the EU with automatic updates and backups.
