Open source alternatives to Harvest[005]

Harvest is time tracking with invoicing, expense capture and project budget reporting, aimed at agencies billing clients. Below are 5 self-hostable open source alternatives, ranked by GitHub popularity.

// EDITOR'S TAKE

Midday is the closest in spirit because it ties time tracking to invoicing and business finances in one place, though it is opinionated and clearly built for solo operators and small teams. Kimai is the safer bet for an agency that needs mature invoicing, exports and per-user rates, while SolidTime has the nicer tracking experience but thinner billing.
