What it does
Traggo records tagged time spans rather than requiring a task list. Users define tags such as project or work type, then review time in list, calendar and customizable dashboard views. The project is self-hosted: its installation guide documents Docker and binary options, and the official server repository carries a GPL-3.0 license.
A small team can choose a consistent set of tags, such as client, project or activity type, and apply them to each time span. The website describes dashboards with diagrams and list/calendar views for reviewing records. Unlike hosted trackers, Traggo requires an operator to install and maintain the service. The guide covers Docker and binary deployment, and warns operators to change the default administrator password before starting the server.
The server source is licensed under GNU GPL version 3, so there is no commercial cloud plan established in the pages reviewed. Self-hosting provides control over the deployment but also makes backup, updates, authentication and availability the operator's responsibility. No installation was performed and no active hosted service was tested.
