What it does
Timecrack is a self-hosted time-tracking application for projects, tasks, time entries, and billable hours. The official site describes the core app as GPL-3.0, free for personal and commercial use, with unlimited users and no feature gates. Optional services include managed hosting, technical support, white labeling, custom development, and data migration.
Timecrack is for teams that want control of their time data and hosting rather than a per-seat SaaS tracker. The site describes an open-source core that records project and task time, tracks billable work, and keeps data on the organization’s own infrastructure; official releases and a Docker image are linked from the product page. The application is free, while managed hosting is listed at €20/month billed annually and technical support at €60 per session, with prices excluding VAT. It is a relatively new product, so organizations should evaluate its deployment and support maturity before choosing it for a critical payroll workflow.
