What is Kimai?
Kimai is a self-hosted, open-source time-tracking application for freelancers, companies and organisations. It records timesheets, produces reports and exports, and generates invoices. It is developed in the open on GitHub by the Kimai project under the AGPL licence and receives frequent releases.
Licence: AGPL-3.0-or-later · Built with: PHP (Symfony) + MySQL/MariaDB · Official site: www.kimai.org
Common uses
- Freelancer tracking billable hours
- Agency timesheets across projects and clients
- Internal team time reporting
- Generating client invoices from tracked time
Kimai requirements
- PHP: PHP 8.2 or newer
- Database: MariaDB 10.6+ or MySQL 8.4+
- PHP extensions: gd, intl, json, mbstring, pdo, tokenizer, xml, xsl, zip
- Must be served from its own domain or subdomain, not a subdirectory
- Standard install uses SSH with Git and Composer; official docs also list shared-hosting deployment
Kimai needs PHP 8.2+, a recent MariaDB or MySQL and its own domain or subdomain. Its documentation says the standard install relies on console commands, so use the Softaculous installer rather than FTP-only setup.
Why host Kimai with Hostripples
- One-click Kimai install from Softaculous inside cPanel, with no manual upload or database setup
- All-NVMe storage and LiteSpeed Enterprise with LSCache for quick page loads
- Selectable PHP versions per site and CloudLinux account isolation with CageFS
- Free SSL, daily JetBackup backups and Imunify360 malware protection
- Free migration of an existing Kimai site, and 24×7 support in English, Hindi and Marathi
