Kimai Mobile is a time tracking application developed by Cloudrizon GmbH. It connects directly with the Kimai Time Tracker Server. Kimai Mobile records your working hours and allows you to track the status of your projects and tasks directly on your phone.

To install the application, a user needs to enter any marketplace and search for Kimai Mobile. Then download the app as instructed.

There are two ways to create a new workspace within the Kimai Mobile App. The user can enter his information manually or use the option to enter the users’ Workspace via QR-Code.

To enter the workspace manually, you need to type in following information: any workspace name, his server URL, email or username, the option to enable as preferred workspace, choosing a color for the workspace and enter the API password.

Workspace name – it’s a custom name given to the workspace by the user so it can be easily identified

Server URL – the link to Kimai Time Tracker Server

Email or Username – the users’ email address or username used to connect with the Kimai Time Tracker Server

List of colors – the user can select the color of the workspace. It will be the color of the icon for this workspace

Preferred Workspace – if the user selects this workspace as preferred, it will be opened as soon as the user starts using the application

Password – enter the API password that you generated in the Kimai Time Tracker Server

To enter a Workspace with a QR Code, click on the QR code button in the App and scan the QR code provided in the Kimai server.

Once you enter the workspace, you will be able to see a navigation bar on the bottom of the App. It includes three options where to navigate to: Timer, Calendar and Settings.

Within this navigation point, you will see already entered time trackings and the play button to start a new time log. You can also find filters for searching your past time trackings.

If you wish to find past time logs on specific dates, switch to the Calendar view. There it is possible to enter specific dates or months which will then show your time trackings of that time period. Simply click on the green button that is situated next to the current date.

If you want to change something in your settings, simply navigate to the button Settings on the lower right corner of the App.

Language: in a future Kimai Mobile update, an option will be to change the language of the workspace. More information about this new feature and other updates is available on the official website.
