Migrate from Kimai in 15–20 minutes
Step 1: Export your Kimai data for reference
Use Kimai’s data export or reporting features to download your recent time entries. Keep this as a reference while setting up Teetrack — you will not import it directly.
Step 2: Set up clients, projects, and rates in Teetrack
Create your client list, project names, currencies, and hourly rates. Kimai uses a Customer → Project → Activity hierarchy, so map those to Teetrack’s client and project model.
Step 3: Track a real week and compare
Run Teetrack alongside Kimai for one billing period. Compare weekly totals to validate your setup before switching fully.
Step 4: Configure invoicing
Set up invoice details, tax notes, and payment terms. If you used custom invoice templates in Kimai, replicate your layout and line items in Teetrack.
