Redmine Products / Redmine Timesheet Plugin

Coming soon: The Redmine Timesheet Plugin is currently in the final stages of preparation for release. Once released, it will be available as an individual license or as part of the Enterprise+ Bundle.

Weekly timesheet and timer on the issue in a single extension.

Time tracking in Redmine with the Timesheet Plugin

Two ways to track time in Redmine

The Redmine Timesheet Plugin combines a weekly timesheet with a timer on the issue. Users enter the current week in a grid or start the timer directly on the issue.

Your benefits at a glance

Weekly timesheet

Grid view across a calendar week. Multiple issues and days are booked in a single form.

Timer on the issue

The timer is started, paused, and stopped on the issue. The measured time is transferred into the time entry.

Flexible activation

Enable the timer by default for all users or let every user switch it on or off in the account preferences.

Booking helpers

Frequently used issues are available directly in the timesheet.

Integration with the AlphaNodes ecosystem

Recorded time is available in the Redmine Reporting Plugin for cost and budget analyses. With Redmine HRM, daily and weekly target hours are shown in the timesheet and days over the target are highlighted.

One timer per user

Only one timer runs per user at a time. This matches real work and avoids inconsistent records.

Granular permissions

Dedicated permissions control who can see other users running timers or clean them up.

With the Redmine Timesheet Plugin you can increase your team’s productivity and gain valuable insights into your project times.

Ideal for:

  • Service providers with project-based billing (agencies, IT service providers) who need to cleanly document hours per issue and want to handle this directly in Redmine.
  • Teams with a typical weekly rhythm who record time in bulk rather than daily. The weekly grid fits this better than Redmine’s standard single-entry booking.
  • Customers with the HRM Plugin who already use the work time calendar and want to reuse that data in the timesheet.
FAQ
+
The Redmine Timesheet Plugin is a commercial extension by AlphaNodes that enables time tracking in Redmine in two ways: a weekly timesheet for bulk catch-up booking of multiple issues and days in a grid view, and a real-time timer directly on the issue. The plugin combines both workflows in a single extension and replaces the former Time Logger Plugin.
+
The weekly timesheet is a grid view where several issues and days are booked at once. Suitable for bulk entry at the end of the day or week. The timer on the issue measures work time continuously: start, pause, stop. The measured time is transferred into the time entry.
+
With the Redmine HRM Plugin the weekly timesheet shows daily and weekly target hours directly in the form. Workdays that exceed the target are highlighted. Your team stays on top of planned working time without switching between Redmine and an external system.
+
Only one timer runs per user at a time because, in practice, nobody works on several issues simultaneously. This constraint reflects real work, prevents inconsistent records, and keeps time entries cleanly documented per issue.
+
The plugin is aimed at teams, project managers, and service providers who need efficient time tracking in Redmine. It is especially suitable for companies with project-based billing, agencies, IT service providers, and internal teams that need to document effort per issue cleanly.
+
The Redmine Timesheet Plugin is part of the AlphaNodes plugin portfolio. Recorded time is reused in Redmine Reporting (costs, budgets) and Redmine HRM (target hours, holidays). The weekly view is the primary booking grid; a monthly view is not used. The weekly timesheet and the timer on the issue are combined in a single extension.
