timetrap VS Kimai 2

After using Ruby's timetrap (sadly no longer maintained) for many years, I realized there was no equivalent in the Node.JS ecosystem, so I decided to build one.

I have used TimeTrap (https://github.com/samg/timetrap) for years. I have it installed on a dev/utility server I have hosted in the cloud. I use JuiceSSH on my android phone to run quick check in and check out scripts. While I'm at my workstation I have a terminal open that is SSHed into my VM. One of the panels in tmux is using a watch command to monitor my time. Purely just a time tracking function so I can't generate invoices or anything like that.

You might be able to do this with timetrap. It is a command-line utility which uses the concept of "timesheets". So, each of your timers A, B, C, can be a timesheet and you can use text commands to start/stop/display etc.

I just wanted to share a project I'm working on for all those who use the timetrap timetracker : a neovim plugin called timetrap.nvim.

The conceptual difference is the file format, as with klog the main idea is to have a format that looks and feels “natural”. So when opening a `.klg` file you don’t need to know much about the format in order to make sense of it, yet the data can be parsed and processed. And you can type in the entries by hand in a text editor. The data format in timewarrior is more opaque, even though it’s still plain text of course.

There are, by the way, also cool projects that use sqlite as underlying datastore, like https://github.com/samg/timetrap , which produces a similar output as timewarrior.

I’ve been using Kimai [1] for a bit over a year to track my freelancing work for various clients as well as the work I do for my own projects. I can definitely recommend it!

It's easy to install and very pleasant to use for tracking time.

Entries have an "exported" flag to mark if you've already billed for a certain hour or not. You could also generate invoices directly from Kimai but I'm not using that feature because I'm creating my invoices in another program.

Try https://www.kimai.org/ It has time-clock, timesheets etc

For docker version, see here: https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2

See Kimai and its demo (which includes accounts with different roles)

Depends on your needs / goals / abilities etc... but there are free, open source options that you might consider... This comes to mind: https://www.kimai.org/ It looks pretty at least :)

I can highly recmmend Kimai https://www.kimai.org/ . In my opinion one oft the most feature-rich and reliable self-hosted FOSS time-tracking solutions.

Check out Kimai2.

Don't know one in Laravel, but Kimai (https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2) is php-based. I use it for weekly time entry as it has a form for this. Also has good reports etc.

Use a time-tracker like Kimai (https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2), add persons like clients, and have the pool tables as activities. Then use in-built timer to start/stop for each activity.
