tictally

Tictally is a digital application that streamlines the management of time‑tracking data for small to medium enterprises. The platform was originally developed in 2015 by a team of software engineers based in Berlin, who sought to provide an affordable solution for freelancers and project‑based teams that required detailed logs without the complexity of enterprise‑grade systems. It combines a lightweight, browser‑based interface with local mobile compatibility, allowing users to record work hours, task categories, and client information directly from smartphones or tablets.

The core functionality of Tictally revolves around a simple, spreadsheet‑style grid where each row represents a discrete time entry. Users can assign tags, select predefined project codes, and attach note fields to each entry. The application automatically aggregates daily, weekly, and monthly totals for both individual users and teams. Export options include CSV, PDF, and direct integration with standard accounting software via an API that supports ISO 20022 payment formats. Security is ensured through OAuth 2.0 authentication, encrypted data transmission, and optional two‑factor authentication.

The software is offered as a Software-as-a-Service product, with a tiered subscription model that scales from a free version—limited to five users and 500 entries per month—to a pro edition that supports unlimited users, advanced reporting, and priority customer support. Community feedback has highlighted the interface’s low learning curve and the utility of the built‑in invoicing drill‑down feature, which maps tracked hours to billable rates. While market uptake remains primarily within the European freelancing sector, Tictally has experimented with localized versions in Japan and Brazil to accommodate language and tax‑filing compliance needs.Development influences for the platform include open‑source time‑tracking projects and enterprise resource planning frameworks that emphasize modular, scalable design.
