What is it?

OpenTickly is a self-hosted time tracker designed to work like Toggl. It implements the same API as Toggl Track v9 and Reports v3, so existing workflows and data can be moved between OpenTickly and Toggl without losing anything.

The project targets people who want to avoid Toggl's subscription cost and keep their time data under their own control. It runs with Docker Compose on a personal server or NAS, and it works with PostgreSQL and Redis. The web app can be installed to a phone's home screen as a PWA on iOS and Android, since there is no native mobile app yet.

Because the API is compatible and not rate-limited in the way Toggl's is, it pairs with the toggl-cli tool so AI agents can track and review time. Current limits: not every feature of the Toggl web app is implemented yet.
