I've been burnt recently, the self-hosted proprietary time tracking & invoicing tool I've been using for the last decade has decided they're only supporting their 'cloud' service from January.
Unfortunately, I haven't see any existing OSS options that quite work for me either.
- HeyLaughingBoy 8y agoIf it's self-hosted, why do you care that they're dropping support?
- stephenr 8y agoBecause any updated version of the client-side software (e.g. the current one doesn't support Dark Mode) won't support the self hosted backend. It's likely there'll be other OS compatibility issues down the line too.
- mindcrash 8y agoDid you check out Hours? That could cover your time tracking needs. https://github.com/DefactoSoftware/Hours https://github.com/DefactoSoftware/Hours Then the only thing that would remain is to take the hours registered in Hours and stuff them into invoices somehow...
- stephenr 8y agoI hadn't seen that before. Time tracking is probably the harder part to make a polished solution. Invoicing is much less frequent, and while I'm using to a desktop app now, I could live with a web app. Time tracking though - if it's not a button in my menu bar I can click start on (and helpful stuff like noticing inactivity and pausing/prompting etc) I'm going to forget to enter times. I've wondered sometimes if it'd be possible to fork the toggl desktop app (its open source) and reverse-engineer a backend to support it (or just update the desktop app with new backend calls).
