Super Productivity — The Complete Guide: Free Task Management and Time Tracking per Project
Super Productivity is an open-source task manager with built-in time tracking. You mark which task you are working on and the time is logged — and at the end of the week you produce a timesheet for the client or the company’s time system.

Privacy and sync
Data is stored locally, with no account. If you work on several devices, you can sync through WebDAV (for example a Nextcloud server) or Dropbox. Super Productivity is a personal tool, not a team management system; for shared task management use Kanboard or Vikunja, and for time tracking across a whole team — Kimai.
