TimeTagger

TimeTagger is a lightweight, web-based time tracking app for recording how you spend time using flexible tags and short descriptions. It focuses on fast entry, clear timelines, and simple reporting, and can run as a local app or as a small server for multiple users.

Key Features

• Fast time logging with tag-based entries (e.g., #project, #client)
• Timeline view for browsing and editing tracked intervals
• Reporting and summaries based on tags and time ranges
• Multi-user support when running in server mode
• Data stored in SQLite with export/backup-friendly files
• Runs as a small Python web app (suitable for Docker/self-hosting)

Use Cases

• Personal time tracking for deep work vs. meetings with tag summaries
• Freelancers tracking time per client/project for timesheets
• Small teams running a shared instance for consistent categorization

Limitations and Considerations

• Reporting is intentionally lightweight; advanced billing/invoicing features are limited compared to dedicated suites

TimeTagger is best suited for users who want a simple, responsive time tracker with tag-based organization and straightforward reports, without the overhead of a large project management platform.
