Good fit for Solo users who like a flat tag model — fast to log, no setup overhead.
Weak at No client/project hierarchy or invoicing module — pair with a separate billing tool.

Replaces these SaaS
- Toggl Track · Time tracking
Run `docker run -d -p 80:80 -v $HOME/_timetagger:/root/_timetagger almarklein/timetagger:latest`. TimeTagger uses a tag-first model (no projects/clients hierarchy — just `#client #project #task` tags on a timer). Toggl entries port via the JSON import (Toggl JSON export → script that emits TimeTagger format). Best for individuals; multi-user is bare-bones.
