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.
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.
Time tracking in Redmine works without an additional plugin. However, once the booking volume grows or time entries become billing-relevant, the standard form reaches its limits.
Faster entry for multiple records
The standard form books each time entry individually: open the issue, enter the effort, save. Five days with four issues each add up to 20 separate steps. The weekly timesheet maps the same entries in a grid view and reduces the work to a single form.
Measured time instead of estimated values
The standard form expects a number the user reconstructs from memory. The timer on the issue measures the actual working time. For project-based billing or budget analyses, this results in higher data quality.
Who benefits from the Timesheet Plugin
The value grows with booking volume and billing relevance. Teams that record only a few entries per week and do not bill at the issue level are well served by the standard form.
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.
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.
The Redmine Timesheet Plugin extends Redmine’s standard time tracking with a weekly grid and a timesheet. Working hours can be recorded in weekly batches instead of individually per booking.
Use cases:
- Service providers with project-based billing (agencies, IT service providers) who document hours per issue in Redmine.
- Teams that record time in a weekly rhythm. For this use case, the weekly grid is more efficient than single-entry booking.
- Customers with the HRM Plugin who also want to evaluate the work time calendar within the timesheet.
