Toggl Alternative
Looking for a Toggl alternative
that respects your privacy?
Toggl Track is a powerful tool. But it stores your data on US servers, shares usage data with third parties, and funds itself partly through data practices you may not be comfortable with. Keeping Time is the privacy-first alternative.

Why it matters where your data lives
Your time tracking data reveals more than you might think — which clients you work with, how many hours you bill, your working patterns, your project names. For freelancers and consultants, this is sensitive business intelligence. For EU-based organisations, US data storage creates real GDPR compliance risk.
Keeping Time stores all data in Europe. We don't share it with third-party analytics providers. We don't run ads. Our business model is a future paid plan — not your data.
Who should make the switch
Freelancers and consultants handling sensitive client work
EU-based teams with GDPR compliance requirements
Educators and institutions requiring data privacy
