SolidTime

SolidTime is an open-source, self-hosted time tracking tool. It provides a web-based interface for recording and managing time spent on various activities, designed specifically for the needs of freelancers and agencies who require a private way to monitor their working hours.

The application is deployed as a server-side web app, allowing users to maintain full control over their data. It facilitates the organization of work by linking time entries to specific clients and projects, which helps in monitoring productivity and calculating total billable hours for a given period. Users can either host the software on their own infrastructure or use the provided cloud version.

Key features

• Time tracking via a modern web interface
• Project creation and member assignment
• Task management linked to specific projects
• Client management and project association
• Billable rate configuration for projects, members, and organizations

The software architecture utilizes the Laravel framework for the backend and Vue.js for the frontend. This combination enables a responsive user experience while maintaining a structured data layer for complex relationships between clients, projects, and tasks. The system supports a multi-tenant approach through its multiple organization feature, which allows a single user account to manage several distinct business entities or teams without mixing data. The billing engine is designed for flexibility, allowing rates to be defined at the project level, the individual member level, or for the entire organization.

SolidTime serves as a privacy-focused time tracking solution for professional service providers and open source contributors who prefer to host their own data rather than relying on third-party SaaS providers.
