The open-source Toggl alternative
Toggl Track is a polished, well-loved time tracker — but it is proprietary, cloud-only, and charges per seat as your team grows. Logr is a free, open-source alternative built for freelancers and small agencies who want to own their data. It ships with a live timeline, per-client billing rates, and built-in invoicing so you never need a separate invoice tool. Because Logr is self-hostable, your time entries and client data live in your own Supabase database — no vendor lock-in, no per-seat pricing, no data brokers. The entire codebase is published under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0), so you can audit, fork, and contribute freely.

Switching from Toggl Track

Why self-host your time tracker?
When you self-host Logr, your time entries, client names, billing rates, and invoices are stored in your own Postgres database — not on a vendor's servers. That matters for freelancers working with NDAs, agencies handling sensitive client projects, and anyone who has watched a beloved SaaS tool sunset or triple its pricing overnight.
