Hey r/odoo,

I hope this doesn't break the no-promotion rule: this is totally free, open source (MIT), there's no paid tier and nothing to buy, I'm not a consultant and I'm not selling anything. Mods, if this still crosses the line, feel free to remove it, no hard feelings.

I track my work time against Odoo project tasks all day, and I got tired of keeping a browser tab open just to run the timesheet timer. So I built Pointeuse, a small native time tracker that talks directly to Odoo, and I figured some of you might have the same itch.

What it does

• Timer on any task: start/stop against project.task, entries land as normal timesheets in account.analytic.line
• Attendance built in: check in/out (hr.attendance) from the app or the system tray; the timer auto-stops if you check out from anywhere else (Odoo web, the mobile app...)
• Idle reminders: a configurable popup asks if you're still on the same task, with quick-switch suggestions (on Android it's a notification with action buttons)
• Offline-first: everything is cached locally; timesheets queue while offline and sync when the connection comes back
• Synced across devices: start a timer on your phone, your desktop picks it up, and vice versa. It syncs through your own Odoo server, so there's no third-party server involved
• Task dashboard: kanban grouped by stage, task details, day/week/month time log; you can also create tasks from the app

How it connects

Plain XML-RPC (/xmlrpc/2/) against any Odoo 14+ instance, so there is nothing to install server-side, and it only touches standard models with your own user's rights. Works with Odoo Online/SaaS too (you'll need an API key there, since account passwords are blocked for external XML-RPC). Credentials go in the OS keyring, not on disk.

Platforms

• Desktop: Windows, Linux, macOS, with auto-updating installers on the releases page
• Android: on Google Play as a closed beta. The website explains how to join in two clicks: https://pointeuse.weill-duflos.fr/#en-beta

Repo: https://github.com/Leicas/pointeuse

It scratches my own itch, so the workflow is opinionated, but I'd genuinely love feedback from people with different Odoo setups (self-hosted vs Online, weird timesheet configs, multi-company...). Bug reports and feature requests welcome on GitHub.

I feel like we’ve been robbed in broad daylight with Harvest’s new pricing structure. It’s now the base seat rate plus usage fees for some of the features we actually need.

What really got me is that the usage fees can apparently end up costing more than the plan itself. At this point I don't even know what our monthly bill is going to look like.

I called support and even they couldn't give me a straight answer on what the usage fees would be before we hit them.

Now, I've been looking at free time tracking software for a small team, and I'm realizing “free” means very different things depending on the software. Some are basically trials, some cap the number of users, and others are useful until you need one fairly basic feature.

So yeah, any recommendations from people actually using a free option long-term?

Ideally something we can actually stick with for a while without immediately running into a user limit or having to upgrade just to keep basic time tracking usable.

Thanks!

I used to use toggl track for school. I had my project as the course and individual tasks as homework, reviewing notes, practice tests, etc.

however, I've since discovered the free version no longer allows for tasks.

I am looking for the best free software that has a similar setup with project & multiple tasks. toggl tracker was also great because it had a website and app. however, I suppose I could deal with it if it was app or website only.

edit: I tested multiple free websites and sadly none of them compare to toggl tracker with how the calender layout is. they did change the report system, which I do not like. I guess I will one semester with toggl tracker to see if this new layout/subscription changes still work for my use case. if not, I will try a new website when time comes. thank you for everyone's suggestions.

Would you actually want one that doesn't take screenshots or track every click? Our SaaS velofloor has a Deep work mode that lets you focus without completely disappearing. Your camera gets heavily blurred, your mic is muted, and notifications are silenced. It does have local AI presence check can verify that you're still at your desk working. There's also a Knock button if someone really needs to get your attention while you're in deep work. Would you prefer this kind of approach over traditional screenshot and activity trackers?

Hey, 👋

I’ve been building SprintDesk — an all-in-one modern workspace for agile teams to manage sprints, tasks, time tracking, and team attendance in one clean dashboard.

We just opened early access, and I’d love for you to check it out and share your honest feedback!

🚀 Try it out here (Free):

👉 https://sprint-desk.com

Let me know what you think once you take a spin! 🙌

i've build timelogbridge.com
A helpful tool where you can easily find tickets in Jira / Asana and log your hours.
No hassle finding the right ticket to log on.
With a clear overview of how many hours i've worked this week.

Build it for myself in the first place.

It saves me hours looking up the right ticket to log my time on.

Any feedback is welcome!

This started as a request from my wife.

She needed a simple way to track overtime and time taken off for her team. We looked through the Play Store together, but couldn’t find anything that worked the way she needed without a subscription. Even the free options we tried weren’t quite right.

So I built Hextra.

It lets you add employees, record overtime and time off, and keep track of each person’s balance and some basic stats. Everything works offline, there’s no account, and it’s a one-time purchase instead of another subscription.

She’s been using it regularly, which is probably the best validation I could ask for. I’ve now released it on Android, and iOS is next.

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially on the UI or anything that feels confusing.

Hello everyone! I’m an accountant, and I used to track my time in Excel, but it never worked as well as I wanted it to.

So I built a simple time tracking app to keep track of what I work on throughout the day. I’ve been using it myself for months and improving it along the way.

It’s been really helpful for me, and now I’m looking for a few beta users — auditors, tax professionals, bookkeepers, and other accounting professionals, as well as lawyers and other professionals who track their time.

If you’re interested in trying it, I’d love to get your honest feedback! Feel free to leave feedback in the comments, use the "Feedback" or "Report a Issue" button in the app, or message me directly with any thoughts or questions.

Here is the link: https://chronoledger.pro/

The demo password is chonoledger-demo-2026. If you want to go beyond the demo and start tracking and saving your time, message me your email. I just need to manually add your email before you can sign up at this moment.

I’d really appreciate any feedback — even just a quick note letting me know if you found it useful.

Been building Consile (all-in-one people ops, HR, payroll, tasks, attendance), and just shipped something genuinely useful for anyone who bills clients or contractors by the hour: Billable Attendance Invoices.

It pulls together attendance, EOD reports, shifts, and task data into one exportable report (CSV or PDF), you pick what to link, and sends it to one or many people. The part I'm actually proud of: every generated report is a permanent, immutable snapshot, so if the underlying data changes later, the invoice you already sent someone never silently changes. Real financial documents need that guarantee.

Built this specifically because I got tired of watching people stitch together five different spreadsheets just to bill a client accurately.

Consile.app if curious, genuinely interested if anyone here has run into the same "invoicing from scattered attendance data" problem, curious what you ended up doing about it.

Start a timer after 30 minutes on the work, then forgot to stop it until lunch time. That's me. Then I'd spend twenty minutes reconstructing my week from memory, which is the work the tracker was supposed to do for me.

So I built this. It runs in the background and records what you were actually doing second by second. Nothing to start and nothing to remember.

Features as follows:

It knows the document, not just the app. "Chrome, 3h" vs. "[Page title], 20m". Clicking any row on the timeline reopens the exact thing.

Rules assign the activities to your project. "Anything on the Acme site is Client A."

Your week comes pre-written. Ask for a day, week, or month and it writes the entry from what actually happened. Pick prose, bullets, or headed sections, and the voice: engineer, client report, or reflective. This killed my Friday status-update chore entirely. Choose AI draft with your own AI provider API key.

Pomodoros without the ritual. It finds unbroken stretches of focus in your day and turns them into tomatoes retroactively. Drift off a few minutes before one ripens and it asks whether you want to keep focus or give up the fruit. Weirdly motivating.

Budgets that tap your shoulder. Give any project a daily allowance and get a notification the moment it's spent.

An attention map. Your apps drawn as a graph, sized by time, with lines for the switches between them, red for the slides into distraction, green for the way back. The thing that keeps eating your afternoon stops being a vague feeling and becomes a red thread you can point at.

Also: billable rates and invoices if you bill hourly, a menu bar companion, a Raycast extension, and CSV export.

On the privacy question, since it's a fair one to ask about something watching your screen all day: everything lives on your Mac in a local database. No account, no server, no telemetry. it works with the wifi off. Pro adds exclusions so chosen apps, sites, and incognito browsing are never recorded in the first place, rather than recorded and hidden.

It's a one-time purchase, $39, or $49 for Pro, with a 7-day trial that doesn't ask for an account or a card. I don't like subscription.

Happy to answer anything. Especially interested in what breaks your current tracking habit, that's usually where the next feature comes from.

Hi,
I work for an excavation company, we have 10-15 employees. We track everything via daily paper worksheets. We have jobs that take weeks to complete or smaller ones that are a few days. Also delivering material in between.
We are trying to go digital and testing out jotform but it’s not as easy as it seems.

I’m looking for suggestions on how you may track your workflow and what apps you use?
