Timevault — Self-Hosted Time Tracking for Freelancers
Self-hosted time tracking. Pay once, never rent Toggl again.
Timevault is time tracking you own instead of rent. Toggl charges $10/user/month — $360 over 3 years for a timer, projects with rates, and a CSV export. Timevault is $29 once, running on your machine or your $5 VPS, with your data in a single SQLite file.
Built for freelancers and consultants who bill clients by the hour and want reports that compute exactly what goes on the invoice.
One-click timer that lives on the server — survives reloads, closed tabs, and browser restarts
Stop, discard, or one-click continue any previous entry; manual entries accept "1:30", "1.5", or "90m"
Projects with clients, colors, billable flags, and hourly rates; archive without losing history
Weekly timesheet: 7-day grid with inline editing right in the cell
Reports grouped by project/client/tag/day — bar chart, donut split, exact billable dollar totals
Entry rounding to 5 or 15 minutes at report level (raw data untouched)
Overlap detection flags double-booked entries before they hit an invoice
CSV export and printable client summaries
Runs as a Windows desktop app or on a $5 VPS (Docker included).
