What is SolidTime?

What it is

SolidTime is a modern open-source time-tracking application built for freelancers and agencies. It is written in PHP on the Laravel framework, with a Vue front end, and it lives in the Laravel and Vue ecosystems that its topic list names. The project is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 and is developed in the solidtime-io/solidtime repository. It ships with 8,923 stars, 508 forks, and 32 open issues at the time of writing, and it presents itself as a self-hosted alternative with an optional hosted service.

The concrete problem it solves is the loose collection of spreadsheets, ad-hoc timers, and disconnected invoicing notes that small studios use to bill clients. SolidTime centralises the whole chain: a timer records work, tasks belong to projects, projects belong to clients, and billable rates determine what that work is worth. It also removes the migration barrier that keeps teams locked into an existing tracker by importing data from other time-tracking applications.

Key capabilities

  • Time tracking through a modern interface, described in the README as easy to use.
  • Project management, including creating projects and assigning project members.
  • Task management, including creating tasks and assigning them to projects.
  • Client management, including creating clients and assigning them to projects.
  • Billable rates configured at the project, project-member, organization-member, and organization levels.
  • Multiple organizations managed from a single account.
  • Import of existing time-tracking data from Toggl, Clockify, and Timeentry CSV files.

Who uses it and how

  • Freelancers track billable hours against specific projects and clients, then use the configured rates to establish what those hours are worth.
  • Agencies split work across several clients and use the multiple-organization support to keep each one's data and membership separate under one account.
  • Teams migrating off another tracker run the built-in import for Toggl, Clockify, or Timeentry CSV instead of re-entering historical records by hand.
  • Organizations that prefer to control their own data self-host the application rather than using the hosted cloud service.
  • Contributors can extend the documentation repository, for example by adding new self-hosting guides.

Self-hosting is documented in the project's self-hosting guide, with a companion self-hosting-examples repository providing example configurations. Those who do not want to self-host, or who want to try the software first, can sign up for solidtime cloud at solidtime.io.
