From a freelancer logging billable hours to companies with hundreds of users, Kimai scales professional-grade open-source time tracking - a Symfony/PHP application without the per-seat pricing of Harvest or Toggl. Tracking is flexible by design: run multiple concurrent timers, use punch-in/punch-out mode, or enter times manually, organized by customer, project, and activity with tags, and priced by user-, customer-, or project-specific rates. The billing pipeline is where Kimai earns "professional grade": generate invoices directly from timesheet data with configurable templates (DOCX, ODS, XLSX, PDF), entry grouping, and invoice-number generators, while an export flag locks billed records against editing and excludes them from future invoices - the audit-safety detail spreadsheet workflows never get right. E-invoicing supports EN 16931, XRechnung 3.0, and Zugferd/Factur-X. Enterprise controls come standard: SAML and LDAP login against Google Workspace, Azure AD, or Authentik, TOTP two-factor auth, customizable role permissions, and teams that scope customers and projects to departments. Money and time budgets alert before overruns, advanced reporting slices recorded time by any dimension, and an extensive JSON API plus a plugin marketplace (expenses, approvals, and more) integrate it with existing infrastructure. Over 30 translations, multi-timezone, AGPL-licensed.

Solidtime is a time tracker for freelancers and agencies, offering a modern SaaS-quality interface that rivals commercial tools like Toggl and Clockify. The time tracking interface provides a running timer, calendar view, and weekly timesheet for flexible entry across desktop, mobile, and the dedicated macOS, Windows, and Linux desktop applications. Project management organizes work by client with hierarchical billable rates configurable at organization, member, project, and project-member levels, ensuring accurate billing across complex team structures. The invoicing module generates polished PDF invoices and structured EU e-invoices with configurable VAT rates, percentage and fixed discounts, EU reverse-charge handling, reusable company templates, and automatic line item generation from billable time entries. Reporting provides filterable summaries by user, project, client, and date range with exportable data for billing audits and team retrospectives. Multi-organization support manages separate workspaces from a single account with role-based permissions controlling access across organizations. Data import from Toggl, Clockify, and generic Timeentry CSV files enables migration from existing tools without losing historical records. The RESTful API with bearer token authentication enables automation and integration with external services. Docker deployment with PostgreSQL runs behind Nginx or Traefik reverse proxy. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Why export timesheets from one tool, manage Kanban tasks in a second, and copy billable hours into a third just to send a client invoice when TimeTracker handles the entire agency workflow in one self-hosted platform? Start a persistent server-side timer from any browser or log hours manually using saved templates, bulk entry forms, and automatic idle detection. Project managers organize deliverables across drag-and-drop Kanban boards, Gantt timelines, and threaded task comments while monitoring real-time project budgets and cost burn rates. A built-in CRM tracks client contacts, lead scores, and sales pipeline stages before work even begins. When billing day arrives, you convert unbilled hours, reimbursable receipts, mileage logs, and per diem allowances directly into branded multi-currency invoices without double-billing a single minute. Finance teams can customize PDF invoice layouts, automate recurring billing schedules, and transmit EN 16931 compliant electronic invoices via Peppol or embedded ZUGFeRD/Factur-X XML. Interactive analytics dashboards and scheduled CSV or Excel exports give every stakeholder complete visibility into billable utilization.

Freelancers, consultants, and solo workers get an accurate record of their hours from TimeTagger, a time tracker that logs tagged tasks on an interactive timeline and summarizes them as billable reports. Press S, type a description, and hit Enter to start the clock without the mouse, or drag across the timeline to log finished work. Hashtags in a description become autocompleting tags, with no projects to set up. Renaming a tag updates every record that uses it. Drag a record's edges to fix its times, then zoom the timeline out to a week or month with mouse, touch, or arrow keys. An overview panel totals time per tag combination for the selected range, and the Report button saves it as a client-ready PDF or a CSV with decimal hours. Daily, weekly, and monthly targets track progress toward your goals, and an optional Pomodoro timer alternates work and break periods with an alarm and a notification. Settings add a dark theme, local date notations, a Monday-to-Friday week, and a day offset for night shifts. The interface adapts from desktop to phone, installs as a progressive web app, works offline, and syncs records across devices once the connection returns. A web API and a command-line client let you query, create, and update records from scripts or the terminal. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Invoicerr nails the exact billing sequence freelancers actually use: draft a quote, send it to the client, collect a legally-binding electronic signature via a secure browser link, convert the approved quote into an invoice, and generate a branded PDF — no DocuSign account, no external signing service, no enterprise complexity. The React frontend with NestJS backend uses Prisma ORM with your choice of SQLite for instant local setup or PostgreSQL for production workloads. Quotes and invoices are first-class objects with independent status tracking — unread, sent, viewed, signed for quotes; paid for invoices — not a single form with a label swap. The e-signature system generates secure-token signing links that clients open in their browser to review and sign documents without needing any account or external service. PDF generation renders quotes, invoices, and receipts with your company logo, name, VAT number, colors, and custom email templates so documents reflect your brand identity rather than the software's defaults. Authentication supports JWT tokens or OIDC providers stored in cookies. The REST API backend enables future integrations with mobile and desktop clients. A plugin system with community-made features and outgoing webhooks extends functionality without forking core code. International-friendly with customizable currencies. Deploy with Docker Compose using the prebuilt image from GitHub Container Registry. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Create an invoice, share a secure link, get paid — that's the entire workflow, no client portals or account registrations required.

Named after the Bosnian word for invoice (račun) with a raccoon twist, Rachoon provides a clean self-hosted invoicing platform that handles the complete billing cycle from quotation to payment reconciliation without touching a third-party SaaS subscription. The Nuxt.js frontend serves a dashboard that surfaces revenue totals, pending balances, overdue items, and client statistics at a glance, while the AdonisJS backend manages all business logic against a PostgreSQL 16 database with TypeScript throughout the full stack. Invoice templates use Nunjucks with full HTML and CSS control—including conditional logic, loops, and custom formatting—so the rendered PDFs actually match your design intent. This is possible because Rachoon delegates PDF generation to Gotenberg, which renders invoices through headless Chrome rather than a restricted drawing API, producing output that faithfully preserves complex layouts, web fonts, and CSS grid. Client records stay organized and searchable, each linked to their invoice and quotation history with payment status tracking across pending, paid, and overdue states. Multi-currency billing with flexible tax configuration supports international operations, and all data remains on your own infrastructure. The monorepo is managed by Turborepo with a CI pipeline covering linting, PostgreSQL integration tests, build verification, and multi-platform Docker image creation for both amd64 and arm64 architectures. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Your team's work lives in boards, sprints, and deadlines, and TaskView keeps all of it on infrastructure you control instead of a vendor's cloud. Projects break down into lists, tasks, and nested subtasks with priorities, tags, deadlines, and assignees, arranged on custom Kanban boards whose statuses you define yourself. A dependency graph shows which tasks block which, sprints organize iterations, and recurring tasks regenerate on schedule so weekly rituals never need manual recreation. Built-in time tracking separates billable from non-billable hours, and analytics turn that data into workload reports, productivity views, and income and expense summaries. Multiple organizations share one instance with invites, granular role permissions, and real-time updates, while SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SCIM provisioning plug into your existing identity provider. GitHub and GitLab integrations connect development work to the board, signed webhooks push events into your other systems, and scoped API tokens plus a TypeScript client make automation safe to hand out. An MCP server lets AI assistants search projects, create and update tasks, and manage statuses within the exact permissions you grant. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. TaskView Source-Available License licensed.

Lalabase is project management built for developers who work with clients, putting tickets, time tracking, documentation, and meetings in one workspace instead of five separate tools. Each client gets an organisation with its own projects and its own access, and roles decide exactly what clients can see. Tasks run as a list or a board with the statuses, priorities, and fields you define per project, rather than the workflow a vendor chose for you. Time tracking records several sessions per ticket, each billable on its own, with exports that go straight into the invoice. Documentation lives beside the work: notes and documents sit in the project, and a folder in your GitHub or GitLab repository becomes the project's docs automatically. Meetings keep their transcript, an AI summary, and the tasks that follow from what was actually said. When you need an answer, the AI assistant takes one question across tickets, comments, documents, hours, and meetings, and it cites the ticket, page, or conversation every answer came from. It even reads your repository's indexed code structurally, so questions about what is implemented get answered against the code. The assistant stays off until you enable it with your own provider key or a model in your own network. An MCP server and REST API let your own agents list, create, and update tickets, comment, and log time. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Roughly 40 integrated business apps forming a full ERP: Odoo's open-source suite runs companies end to end. The Community Edition, licensed LGPL-3.0, ships roughly 40 apps covering CRM, sales, invoicing, basic accounting (journals, chart of accounts, taxes, reconciliation), inventory and warehouse management with multi-step routes, manufacturing with BOMs and work orders, purchasing, project management, timesheets, HR, a website builder, and eCommerce. Each app works standalone, but they share one PostgreSQL database and one data model, so a confirmed sale updates stock, triggers procurement, and posts invoices without integration glue. The modular design means you enable only the apps you need and extend with 40,000+ community modules from the Odoo app store covering nearly any vertical requirement. Inventory supports multi-warehouse stock, reordering rules, and lot and serial tracking with barcode-ready operations; manufacturing ties BOMs, work orders, and work-center routing directly to sales demand and stock levels; and the website builder sells straight from your product catalog with payment provider integrations. You can start with just CRM and invoicing on day one and switch on inventory or eCommerce later - new apps integrate with existing data instantly because the schema is shared. The server is Python with an XML/JavaScript view layer, and because data lives in plain PostgreSQL there is no proprietary format: you can query, back up, migrate, and extend business data directly, with unlimited users and no per-seat licensing - where enterprise ERP pricing is per user per month, headcount here costs nothing.
