OpenTickly
The freeprivateself-hostedAI-friendly Toggl alternative.
Compatible with the Toggl API. Your data stays yours.
Drop-in compatible
Works with the Toggl API. Your existing tools and integrations carry over.
Deploy in minutes
One docker compose command. Runs on CasaOS, Synology, fnOS.
Free & open source
No seat limits, no tiers. Self-hosted and hosted are the same product.
Why teams choose it
A practical time tracking system you can inspect, host, and extend.
For teams leaving per-seat billing
OpenTickly gives agencies, studios, and internal product teams a Toggl-style timer, project structure, reports surface, and API without turning every new collaborator into a subscription decision. Invite the people who need to track work, keep historical entries, and run the same stack in the hosted demo or on your own Docker host.
For operators who need data control
Self-hosting keeps time entries, clients, projects, tags, and exports inside infrastructure you manage. That matters for finance teams, consultants under client confidentiality terms, and companies that need predictable backups, database access, and audit-friendly ownership of their work records.
For builders with existing Toggl workflows
The public API is designed around Toggl compatibility, so scripts, reporting jobs, and agent workflows can move over without a full rewrite. Use the live demo to test the timer and reports, then follow the self-hosting guide when you are ready to run it permanently.
