What Logr is
Logr is an open-source time tracker with invoicing for freelancers and agencies, available on the web or self-hosted. Its one-click timer records sessions against a client and project, each of which can have an hourly rate. A live day timeline updates as time is tracked, and reports can be filtered and shared by client. Logr gathers unbilled sessions into draft invoices that users can adjust and share through a public link; clients can view and download an invoice without an account. It also imports time entries from Toggl CSV exports and maps them to existing clients and projects. The homepage advertises a daily AI recap, and self-hosters can add an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for the assistant. Logr is licensed under AGPL-3.0. Its described self-hosting setup uses a Next.js app on Node.js infrastructure connected to PocketBase, with a Docker Compose file for both. Hosted and self-hosted plans are each free.
