> Open-source time tracker for freelancers and teams

solidtime is an open-source time tracker with a live timer, a drag-and-drop calendar and a weekly timesheet.

It runs as an EU-hosted cloud service with a free plan for one user, or self-hosted under the AGPL-3.0 license, and has desktop apps that record app activity locally.

## Ways to pay less

- **Save 11% with annual billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page labels annual billing "save 11%": cloud Professional is €8 per user a month billed annually against €9 billed monthly. Source: https://www.solidtime.io/pricing

## Key features

- **Timer, calendar and timesheet:** Track with a live timer, drag entries on a calendar, or fill a weekly grid with one row per project and task. Breaks are tracked apart from work time.
- **Desktop activity tracking:** The macOS, Windows and Linux apps record which app and document is in focus and detect idle time. That activity stays on the device until it becomes a time entry.
- **Reporting and exports:** Reports filter by member, project, client, task, tag or billable state and export as CSV, Excel or ODS. PDF reports and read-only report links need Professional.
- **Invoicing:** Billable entries become invoices with tax rates, discounts, EU reverse charge, PDF output and structured e-invoices. Invoicing is part of Professional and the Business license.
- **Projects, roles and access:** Projects carry a rate and a budget, and five built-in roles control who sees what. Team support and access management are Professional features.
- **Imports and API:** Data can be imported from Toggl, Clockify, Harvest, another solidtime instance or generic CSV files, and an API gives other tools access.

## Good for

- Freelancers who want a free tracker for one user
- Teams that prefer open-source software hosted in the EU
- Companies that want to self-host under an annual license

## Worth knowing

- Prices are in euros and exclude VAT.
- The free Solo plan is limited to 1 user and has no billable rates, invoicing, estimates, PDF reports or shareable reports.
- The free self-hosted edition leaves out invoicing; that needs a Business license from €49 a year.
- The site lists a web app, desktop apps and a browser extension, but no iOS or Android app.
