Traggo review (2026): is it any good?
Self-hosted, tag-based time tracking with dashboards
Traggo report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for a self-hosted tag-based time tracker
Traggo is free, open-source time tracking where you tag each stretch of time and chart it. You must host the server yourself, and the docs list no mobile apps, integrations or billing.
Who Traggo is for
- Fits if you can run a small server and want to own your time data
- Works for people who sort their hours by tags rather than projects
Who Traggo is not for
- Not for you if you don't run a server, as there is no hosted version
- Skip it if you need billing, invoicing or integrations, as none are described
- Not for you if you want phone apps, as the docs describe none
- Watch out: anyone with direct database access can read every user's data, and the install guide names version 0.0.9
Why Traggo gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyFree software, but only if you run it on your own server, and there is no hosted version, so it is graded in the middle.
- BFree plan and trialFree with no paid plans, but you need your own server to use it.
- CFeaturesTagged time spans, dashboards and calendar views do that one job, a narrow one with no billing or integrations.
- DEase of useNo store rating on record, and it needs a server set up with Docker or a downloaded binary.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no mobile apps or integrations described.

Keep Traggo, or make your own?
Keep it
Traggo is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 53 of the 69 other time tracking apps grade higher.
What you could make
- Time tracking and calendar: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
What this rests on. Traggo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Traggo?
Traggo is a time tracking server that you host yourself. It has no tasks: time spans carry tags such as project or type, and dashboards chart the totals. It is free software under the GPL-3.0 license, with a web interface that has list and calendar views.
Worth knowing
- You must host the server yourself; there is no hosted version.
- Anyone with direct database access can read all users' data, the docs warn.
- The docs describe no mobile apps, integrations or billing features.

Key features
