Track Every Minute That Matters

A complete time tracking platform designed with simplicity, privacy, and self-hosting at its core. No vendor lock-in, no per-seat fees, total control.

PREMIUM features are not part of the core open-source app — they are available through custom development.

Self Hosted

Your time data stays on your server. No third-party services, no tracking, no data mining - complete privacy and ownership of every project and time entry.

One-Click Timers

Start and stop timers with a single click, or log time manually after the fact. Capture hours as you work, across any of your projects.

Projects

Organize your time entries into projects, each with its own name, description, and color, so every tracked hour stays grouped and easy to find.

Timesheets PREMIUM

Weekly and daily timesheet views with inline editing and a week-approval workflow. Available as a premium add-on through custom development.

Reports & Analytics PREMIUM

Dashboards that break time down by project, client, and team member, with payroll-style summaries. Available as a premium add-on on top of the built-in CSV export.

Billable Hours

Flag any time entry as billable to keep client work separate from internal time. Hourly rates and invoice-ready totals are available as a premium add-on.

Responsive Design

Track time from desktop, tablet, or phone. The interface adapts seamlessly to any screen size so you can log hours on the go.

REST API

Integrate Timecrack with your existing tools using the built-in REST API. Automate workflows, sync data, and build custom integrations.

Lightweight

Minimal server requirements mean Timecrack runs smoothly even on basic shared hosting. No heavy dependencies or complex infrastructure.
