Launching the Timecrack Demo Instance

Apr 17, 2026

We’re excited to announce the launch of the official Timecrack demo instance! You can now try Timecrack directly in your browser without installing anything — just head over to demo.timecrack.org and start exploring.

Why a Demo Instance?

Getting a feel for a self-hosted tool before committing to a deployment can be tricky. You have to set up a server, install dependencies, and configure everything just to see if it’s the right fit. The demo instance removes that friction entirely.

It’s a functional Timecrack installation running on our infrastructure, pre-loaded with sample data so you can see the platform in action right away.

What You Can Try

The demo gives you access to all of Timecrack’s core features:

• Projects & Tasks — Browse the sample projects, create new ones, and organize tasks.
• Time Tracking — Start and stop timers, log manual time entries, and see how hours are tracked across projects.
• Reports — Generate reports on time spent and explore the analytics dashboard.
• User Management — See how multi-user accounts work with different roles and permissions.
• Search — Use full-text search to find projects, tasks, and time entries instantly.

How It Works

The demo instance resets periodically so every visitor gets a clean experience. Any data you enter will be temporary — it’s a playground, not a production environment. This means you can experiment freely without worrying about breaking anything.

Ready to Self-Host?

If you like what you see in the demo, setting up your own instance is straightforward. Check out the Installation Guide for step-by-step instructions, or use the Docker setup for a containerized deployment.

You can also grab the latest release directly from the GitHub repository.

Try It Now

Head over to demo.timecrack.org and give Timecrack a spin. We’d love to hear your feedback — feel free to open an issue on GitHub or reach out through the Support page.

Happy tracking!
