Time tracking and timesheets for teams and freelancers
Traggo
Self-hosted tag-based time tracker with customizable dashboards
Traggo lets you record work periods using flexible tags instead of fixed tasks, offering sleek web UI, multiple themes, list and calendar views, and customizable dashboards—all self-hosted for full data control.
Overview
Overview
Traggo is a self‑hosted time‑tracking system that replaces traditional tasks with a flexible tag model. Users record time spans and assign any combination of tags—such as project, type, or custom labels—allowing unlimited categorization without rigid hierarchies. The web interface offers a clean, themeable UI with list and calendar views, while dashboards let you build charts that reflect the tag combinations most relevant to you.
Deployment
Because the application runs on your own infrastructure, you retain full ownership of the data. Installation is straightforward: a single Docker image or binary can be deployed on most servers, and the built‑in user management handles basic access control. Configuration is handled through environment variables and a simple YAML file, making it easy to integrate with existing databases or monitoring tools. Whether you run it on a personal VPS, a corporate server, or within a container orchestration platform, Traggo scales to the needs of freelancers, small teams, or privacy‑focused organizations.
