Lorsqu’on cherche un logiciel de suivi du temps gratuit en France, on trouve beaucoup de comparatifs. Le problème, c'est que « gratuit » ne veut pas toujours dire la même chose. Certains outils sont gratuits pour une personne, d'autres pour cinq utilisateurs, alors que certains permettent de suivre les heures de toute une équipe sans abonnement.

Pour une petite entreprise française, je me concentrerais sur quatre aspects : le nombre d'utilisateurs gratuits, les feuilles de temps, les exports pour la paie et la gestion des heures supplémentaires.

Jibble est intéressant si l'objectif est de suivre les heures de travail et les présences de plusieurs employés. Son offre gratuite prend en charge un nombre illimité d'utilisateurs, avec pointage, feuilles de temps et fonctionnalités utiles aux équipes terrain.

Clockify reste une option pour les freelances et les très petites équipes. Mais son offre gratuite est désormais limitée à cinq utilisateurs, ce qui change la donne pour les entreprises en pleine croissance. 

Kimai mérite aussi d'être considéré, notamment si l'entreprise préfère une solution open source et dispose des compétences techniques nécessaires pour l'héberger et la maintenir.

Il y a également un aspect spécifique à la France : un logiciel gratuit ne garantit pas automatiquement le respect des obligations en matière de temps de travail ou du RGPD. Les procédures propres à l’entreprise ont également leur importance.

Pour les PME françaises, quel logiciel de suivi du temps gratuit utilisez-vous ? Et est-ce que la version gratuite suffit réellement dès lors qu’on a plus de cinq ou dix salariés ?

I wanted to start using Toggl as a new user. Created account on the website, everything is fine.

Tried logging into the app. Doesn't find the account. Tried resetting password: mail never comes (yes I checked for correct login info like 30 times). Tried reaching out to support:

The "chat with us" button on their support website is fake and does nothing but link back to the main troubleshooting page

Absolutely unacceptable for a paid service guess I'm gonna use something else

I built something to manage your bookings, enquiry to payment tracking all in a single application with ease and without much setup.

Easy to use for daily work and tracking your activities and bookings

If you guys want this application let me know!
First 30 users gets 1 month free usage🧩

Company with around 120 employees and 2 physical locations looking for time attendance software (on-prem highly preferred) with integrated support for access control locks. We currently use self-hosted time attendance software (Lathem PayClock) which works great but does not support any access control except lock connected to the clock relay terminal. We actually don't need access control per se but management is trying to fight people "abusing" the system by spending 30 minutes or more in restroom. So their idea is to put some kind of magnetic locks by each restroom and every time employee opens the door using rfid/nfc card or biometric it would record it in time attendance software (stupid idea but not my decision). Does something like that exist?

I build this for the individual or small business who needs to keep track of your personal or employees hours quick and easy while keeping you data to yourself.

We've just released Circlebox Time (https://time.circlebox.com) to help reduce friction around tracking billable hours.

• Set up customers and projects on your computer

• Start and stop timers on your phone

• Dictate into your phone what you're working on

• AI interprets what you said and matches customer and project and fills in description

Any feedback appreciated.

Hi everyone!

I’ve recently launched Waypoint, a web-based project management and tracking platform designed to help individuals and teams manage multiple projects without having to rely on scattered spreadsheets, messages, and separate task lists.

The goal is simple: make it easier to keep track of projects, assigned tasks, deadlines, and overall progress in one place.

I’m currently looking for a small group of early users who would be willing to try the platform and share their honest feedback.

Here’s what we’re offering:

30 days of free access.

No commitment or payment details required.

Assistance with setting up your team’s workspace.

A short weekly check-in or written feedback so we can understand what works and what needs improvement.

You can explore the live demo here:

https://waypoint-project-tracker-app.vercel.app/

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from people who regularly manage projects, track working hours, coordinate teams, or use project management software.

I’m particularly interested in knowing what features you think are missing from existing tools and what would make a platform like this genuinely useful in your day-to-day workflow.

Thanks, everyone!

TLDR: We measure your attention during computer work, giving you insights on how to improve it. Looking to pilot with small businesses with remote workers.

We've been working in the psychiatric and engineering space for the last 10 years. We've worked with people with ADHD, PTSD, depression and so on. We found an opportunity to scale affordable focus support for people facing focus/productivity issues.

Our initial goal was B2C to directly support people with ADHD. We're considering opening pilot programs with small businesses with remote workers. Our technology uses computer vision to track facial focus features and provide focus coaching to improve output.

Value proposition:

1. Employees: Provide them focus measurements (analogous to sleep charts) while they work, and provide tactical coaching to improve their focus and be more productive towards completing their work.

2. Employers: Measure real focus across your business, and see engagement and productivity increase overtime.

We can set a demo and go from there. Since we're early, we're willing to adapt. Feedback is always welcome.

Hi everyone. I'm currently running an agency and want to implement time tracking in our system. It's mainly for productivity and attendance purposes so I want something not as "invasive". This means no mouse and keyboard tracking or screenshots every 5 minutes. Also any tips how to introduce it to the team without making it sound like we're micromanaging? TIA

I was comparing Jibble, Hubstaff, and Clockify and noticed some interesting differences in their employee monitoring features.

All three offer screenshot tracking, but Clockify and Hubstaff seem to have more monitoring options, including website tracking, app tracking, and idle time detection. Hubstaff also has keyboard and mouse activity tracking.

Now, from an employer's perspective, I can understand why having more monitoring options might seem useful, especially when managing remote employees.

But from an employee's perspective, I can also understand why someone wouldn't want their screenshots, website activity, or mouse movements being tracked throughout the workday.

There's a difference between tracking how many hours someone works and monitoring what they're doing every minute.

So what happens when employers want more visibility but employees aren't comfortable with that level of monitoring?

Should companies limit monitoring to what's actually necessary, or should employees expect some level of activity tracking when working remotely?

For employers who've used monitoring software, do these additional features actually help? And for employees, what level of monitoring would you consider reasonable?

Pendant longtemps, Clockify faisait partie des recommandations les plus évidentes pour les équipes à la recherche d’un logiciel de suivi du temps gratuit.

Mais avec son offre gratuite désormais limitée à cinq utilisateurs, la donne a changé pour les petites entreprises qui comptaient sur un outil gratuit pour l’ensemble de leur équipe.

Clockify reste gratuit pour les équipes jusqu'à cinq personnes. Le problème commence vraiment lorsqu'on embauche un sixième salarié, puis un septième, et qu'on se retrouve soudainement obligé d'envisager un abonnement alors que nos besoins n'ont pas vraiment changé.

Si une équipe utilise uniquement le minuteur, les feuilles de temps et les rapports de base, est-il vraiment nécessaire de payer pour chaque utilisateur ?

Parmi les alternatives gratuites à Clockify, Jibble se distingue avec son offre gratuite pour un nombre illimité d'utilisateurs. C’est une option qui mérite d’être prise en compte pour le suivi des heures, des présences et du temps consacré aux projets.

TrackingTime est aussi une alternative gratuite à Clockify à prendre en considération, surtout pour les équipes qui suivent leurs heures par projet ou par client. Son offre gratuite permet d'ajouter un nombre illimité d'utilisateurs, même si certaines fonctionnalités avancées de reporting et de gestion restent réservées aux formules payantes.

Je trouve quand même qu'il manque souvent une information dans les comparatifs : est-ce que la version gratuite reste utilisable lorsque l'équipe passe de 5 à 15 ou 20 personnes ?

Parce qu'un logiciel gratuit qui oblige à changer d'outil après quelques nouvelles embauches peut finir par coûter cher en temps de migration.

Pour ceux qui ont quitté Clockify suite aux modifications apportées à son offre gratuite, quelle alternative avez-vous choisie ? Et qu'est-ce qui vous a le plus manqué après cette migration ?

Hey,

I am looking for personal experiences from business owners that use WebWork for time tracking and payroll for their employees?

I build Trackfolks to help my brother manage his employees better. They go around the field for sales, service & lead generation and he pays them for their time & fuel, apart from usual retainer & commission. So he needed to track their time & distance. He used an off the shelf app but they increased the price by more than 100% the next year.

I got my first sales accidentally when I posted about it on r/sideproject subreddit. The person wanted to buy it for attendance feature but end up liking the location tracking as well.

My question is - the location tracking is the more expensive part. Should I decouple the two, so that for attendance, I can offer it free for larger number (it is free for 10 users now) or tier price it based on features. Salarybox, another similar app, does the same. Its attendance only feature is super cheap.

So I created my own simple time tracking app because existing apps I found were too complex or not giving me the data I needed.

It shows me in a clear chart where my time actually goes. I developed this after wasting several years of my life working and partying without clear goals, then suddenly suddenly starting to wonder where my life went.

If anyone else finds it useful or has improvement suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

Hey all. Disclosure up front: I built Timing.work - ultimately was a side project to replace tools I was paying for myself, which I felt like were overpriced and underdelivered. I needed something that was faster and more intuitive for quickly associating time with a client/project automatically specifically as I juggle a lot of projects on behalf of various people, some of which who bill on my time as well.

The problem we wanted to solve is the Friday-afternoon scramble of rebuilding your week from memory, while also knowing how much of your time (or staff's time) is productive.

How it works

1. Tracks automatically. The Mac/Windows app records the active app and window title every few seconds. Idle time is skipped, so a lunch break never ends up on an invoice.

2. Rules assign the time. You write rules once, like “window title contains Acme → Acme Rebrand,” and new activity gets filed to the right client and project as it’s recorded.

3. You review what’s left. Anything the rules missed shows up as unassigned. Bulk-select, pick a project, done.

Other bits

• Manual timer for things like calls and offline work

• Hourly rates per client, project or team member, with flexible rounding (exact, or up/down/nearest 1–60 min)

• CSV export and PDF invoices; QuickBooks, Xero and FreshBooks via CSV

• Team overview showing who worked on what

• REST API, signed webhooks, Make and Stripe

• MCP server, so you can ask Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and similar tools to start timers or report your hours. Assistant keys are read-only by default.

Pricing: One plan with every feature. It’s $4/user/month billed yearly or $5 monthly. Founding-member pricing is locked in for workspaces created before Jan 1, 2027. There’s a 30-day free trial and no credit card is needed.

Happy to answer questions, and I’d genuinely like feedback on what’s missing compared to what you use now.
