What makes Kimai worth launching.

Analyze time by customer, project, activity, or team member, then export to PDF, Excel, or CSV for payroll and billing.

Work in over 30 languages with support for different currencies, timezones, and date formats — perfect for global teams.
Add expense tracking, custom fields, audit trails, e-invoicing, and more through Kimai's plugin marketplace.
