What matters
Self-hosted time tracking: three differences from cloud software
It runs on your hosting
Upload the ZIP, open the installer and answer three questions — just like setting up WordPress. Any shared hosting plan with PHP and MySQL will do.
Your data, actually yours
The app runs on your server and your team's data stays there. We don't host it and we can't access it — our terms of service say exactly that.
Features
Time tracking, projects and reports: everything a team that bills by the hour needs
Timer and time entries
A clear one-at-a-time timer per person, manual entries when you need them, and permission-based editing. The green dot always shows who is working on what.
Projects with hour budgets
Give each project an hour budget, watch consumption in real time and get email alerts at the thresholds you define: 80 %, 100 % or any you like.
Reports you can show
Reports by client and project, as a PDF with your logo or as a protected link you can share with your client — without giving them access to anything else.
Team, roles and 2FA
Everyone tracks their own time; admins see everything and can stop anyone's timer. Two-factor authentication is optional — or enforced by role.
Your brand
Upload your logo and pick your colours from Settings, no code involved. Reports and the app itself carry your image, not ours.
In 14 languages
English, Spanish, Catalan, Valencian, Galician, Basque, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Romanian and Latin American Spanish. Everyone picks their own.
How it works
How to install your self-hosted time tracker in three steps
Buy and download
Pay €149 once, by card, securely. You immediately download the software and receive your license key and your invoice.
Upload it to your hosting
Via FTP or your hosting panel's file manager, just like a WordPress site. If your hosting runs PHP and MySQL — almost all do — you're set.
Open the installer
The installer checks your server, creates the database tables and your admin user. Enter your license key and your team can start tracking.
Requirements: PHP 8.1 or newer (with pdo_mysql, mbstring, openssl, sodium and curl) · MySQL or MariaDB · a domain with HTTPS. The installer checks everything before starting. Not sure? Check your hosting before you buy.
Inside
Project time tracking, with reports you can share with clients
Who it's for
Time tracking for agencies, consultancies and freelancers
Agencies and studios
Every client and project with its own hour budget. When consumption approaches the limit, the email arrives before the awkward conversation does.
Consultancies and firms
Hours logged by person and project, monthly reports ready to attach to the invoice, and a history that doesn't depend on any provider.
Freelancers with clients
Track what you work on, show it with a link and justify every hour. For the price of one month of other tools, this one is yours forever.

FAQ
Self-hosted time tracking: frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code to install it?
No. If you've ever installed WordPress, this will feel familiar: upload a folder to your hosting, open the installer in your browser and it checks your server, creates the tables and your admin user. And if you get stuck, that's what support is for.
How is this different from Kimai or other open-source options?
Open-source tools like Kimai are free and capable, but they assume you are comfortable with servers: you install them, you update them, and support comes from whoever answers in the forum. Hourexa is a paid product for people who would rather not do that — you upload a folder, open the installer and you are done, and when something breaks there is someone whose job is to answer you. Same principle, your server and your data, with the setup and the support already solved.
What does my hosting need?
PHP 8.1 or newer with the usual extensions (pdo_mysql, mbstring, openssl, sodium and curl) and a MySQL or MariaDB database. Any regular shared hosting plan has all of it, and the installer checks everything before starting. If you would rather be sure first, download the hosting check and run it on your server: it makes the same checks as the installer.
Where is my team's data stored?
On your server and in your database — nowhere else. We don't host your installation and we can't access your data: we say it here and we commit to it in our terms of service.
Are there monthly fees or user limits?
No and no. You pay €149 once and create as many users as you need: the price doesn't depend on your team size, and the license never expires.
What's included, and what happens afterwards?
The complete software (there are no plans), your license key, 6 months of new versions and 3 months of support. When they end, the app keeps working exactly the same and the license never expires; if you want to keep receiving new versions or support, you can renew them from your customer panel whenever you want.
Can I move to another hosting or domain later?
Yes. Your license covers one installation (one domain and folder). If you move, release the installation from your customer panel and activate the same key on the new one. If you need to move it unusually often, write to us and we'll help.
Can I try Hourexa before buying?
Yes. We set up your own Hourexa for 14 days, with sample data inside so you can see it working on a real project: you leave your email, we send you the link and that's it. Nothing to install and no card. . And for any specific question, write to info@hourexa.com: humans answer, not robots.
I'm coming from TrackingTime — can I bring my data?
Yes. Hourexa includes an importer that connects to your TrackingTime account and brings over clients, projects, tasks and hours, without duplicating anything if you run it several times. Switching doesn't cost you your history.
Do you issue invoices?
Yes, with the applicable VAT, downloadable as a PDF from your customer panel as soon as you pay. The exact tax is calculated at checkout based on your country and tax details.
What if your question isn’t here?
Tell us what it is and we’ll get back to you, usually the same day. No long form and no salesperson behind it.
