Features

Everything Kimai does,
without the context switch.

⏱

Timers at your fingertips

Start, stop, pause and switch from the tray. Run several timers at once when your Kimai allows it. Quick-start from favorites and recent tasks with a keystroke.

Idle detection

Walked away? Choose to stop at idle start, stop now or keep running. Idle stats included.

🎯

Daily goals

Per-connection goals with remaining time and an estimated finish time.

Offline-safe queue

Network hiccup? Starts and resumes are queued and retried — no duplicate timers.

🗂

Category Mode

A two-level category & activity tree with icons and colors, synced from a URL.
