What Is OpenTickly
OpenTickly docs. Get started, self-host with Docker, move over from Toggl, and connect AI agents like Claude and Cursor.
OpenTickly is a free, private-first, AI-friendly alternative to Toggl.
OpenTickly used to be called OpenToggl. If you see OpenToggl in older links or discussions, it's the same project.
Toggl is a great product, but it's expensive and your data doesn't really belong to you. On top of that, the 30 requests/hour API limit is painful — an AI agent can burn through an hour's quota in a single minute.
OpenTickly works like Toggl, so you can move your data over and back again without losing anything. Your workflows and habits stay the same. It's just cheaper, more private, and friendlier to AI.
What features we build
We only build features Toggl already has, plus extras that don't change your data, like instance management and AI tooling. That way you can always take your data back to Toggl.
A feature that would store data Toggl can't handle won't be accepted, even if it's useful or popular.
