For users of open-source eHour

Meet the new eHour

The open-source, on-premise edition of eHour has been replaced by the new hosted SaaS product.

The new eHour keeps the same weekly timesheet and adds reporting, approvals, and integrations. The open-source edition is no longer maintained.

The weekly timesheet you already know

The weekly timesheet keeps the Excel-like grid you know from open-source eHour. Hours can now also be logged from a phone, with a running timer, in Jira, through the API, or via the eHour MCP server.

Billable and non-billable hours

Review and report on submitted time

Timesheet approvals are new in the hosted version. Managers can approve submitted timesheets in bulk or send them back with a comment before hours reach invoicing or payroll.

Native Atlassian Jira integration

eHour now connects directly to Atlassian Jira, so developers can log time on issues without switching tools. The hours stay available in eHour for approvals, reporting, budgets, and billing.

Migrate your complete eHour history

All your eHour 1 data can be migrated to eHour Cloud, including users, clients, projects, logged hours, and comments. We can import it into a trial account, so you can evaluate the hosted version with your own data before deciding whether to switch.

Why make the switch?

Keep your history and familiar timesheet while eHour takes care of hosting, updates, and security maintenance.

Always Up to Date

New releases arrive without anyone scheduling an upgrade or deploying a new build.

Works on Any Device

Use eHour from a desktop, tablet, or phone. The interface adapts to the screen in front of you.

Reporting That Goes Further

Build custom reports, schedule them by email, or continue the analysis in Excel and Power BI.

Approval Built In

Employees submit their timesheets for review before the hours reach invoicing or payroll.

Your History Comes Along

Import all your existing eHour data into a trial and evaluate the new product with familiar projects and hours.

Hosted in the EU

What do our users say?

Our external project leader wanted first to have an overview of all hours logged per individual team member before invoicing the client. With eHour, I was able to have all data right there on my screen in a single comprehensible report. After scheduling it, it is sent by email every Friday to the project leader without any interference from me.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the open-source, on-premise edition of eHour still maintained?

No. The open-source, on-premise edition receives no further releases, maintenance updates, or security fixes. Product development now happens in the current eHour SaaS product.

Can I keep running my self-hosted installation?

Yes. Your existing installation does not stop working, but no new updates will be released for it. Existing bugs remain, and newly discovered security problems will not be patched.

eHour used to be free. Why does the current version cost money?

The open-source edition had no license fee, but each organization supplied its own server and maintained the installation. The SaaS price covers hosting, product updates, security maintenance, and support. Every feature is included. Monthly billing is €4.99 or $5.49 per user/month. With annual billing, the price is €4.49 or $4.99 per user/month. The 14-day trial requires no payment details.

Can I try the new eHour with my existing data?

Yes. We can import all your existing eHour data into a trial account, including users, clients, projects, logged hours, and comments. You can then explore the current product using data your team recognizes before deciding whether to subscribe. Read the eHour 1 import guide.

How does the import work?

Create a trial account and contact us. We will arrange the transfer of your eHour backup and import all your data into the trial account. If you continue after the trial, you keep using the same account and imported data. See how to prepare your backup.

Where is my data hosted?

Production data is hosted in the European Union and covered by EU data protection laws.
