Drag and drop shift planning, GPS clock in at the job site, offline iOS and Android apps and team chat for cleaning and landscaping crews.
Crew Active brings shift planning and time tracking for field teams into one app, built for cleaning companies, landscapers, construction crews and winter services. The office plans the week in a drag and drop calendar, and workers clock in at the job site from their phone, with GPS proof of presence ready for any customer who asks.
The web app flags double bookings and weekly hour overruns, and recurring jobs can be set up as a series. The native iOS and Android apps work offline and sync once a connection returns. Location is recorded at start, break and stop, with the measured accuracy shown, rather than tracked continuously. Built-in chat with photos replaces scattered WhatsApp groups.
Key benefits:
- Drag and drop scheduling with warnings for double bookings and overtime
- GPS time tracking at clock in, break and clock out only
- Offline mobile apps for iOS and Android that sync later
- Team chat with photos and read receipts inside the same app
- Excel and PDF reports per employee and customer, plus a DATEV export
- Leave and sick days requested and recorded in the app
- Five app languages including Turkish and Romanian for mixed crews
Crew Active is run by run4dev, a business based in Regensburg, Germany, and has been developed there since 2021. Customer, employee and time data is stored with Hostinger in a data centre in Vilnius, Lithuania, and a data processing agreement is available. Some features rely on US providers: Google for maps, Expo for push notifications, and, where the optional AI assistant is enabled, OpenRouter and Together AI running an open model in the USA, with Anthropic as a backup.
There is no free plan. A one month trial for up to five employees needs no credit card and ends on its own, after which plans start at 69 euros a month for five staff.

Tasks, projects, time tracking, invoicing and receipts in one German platform, with Kanban and timeline views, ZUGFeRD e-invoices and Hetzner hosting.
spiritflow replaces a stack of separate subscriptions with one system where tasks, projects and tracked hours feed straight into invoicing and receipt capture. Built for small and medium companies, it holds customer records, billable time, expenses and team chat in one place, so nothing is re-entered or reconciled between tools at the end of the month.
Work is planned in Kanban, list or timeline views, tracked with a one click timer, and turned into ZUGFeRD compliant e-invoices without leaving the platform. Receipts are read by AI assisted OCR and filed against the right project, meetings run over built in audio and video, and a documented REST API with webhooks connects phone systems, ERP and accounting software, and automation tools.
Key benefits:
- Tasks and projects in Kanban, list and timeline views for small teams
- Built in time tracking that turns billable hours into invoices without re-entry
- E-invoicing with ZUGFeRD output for the German e-Rechnung requirement
- Receipt capture with OCR that files expenses against the matching project
- CRM and customer records shared by projects, invoices and conversations
- Chat and meetings with audio and video inside the same workspace
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android with offline sync away from the desk
- Public REST API with webhooks for ERP, accounting and telephony integrations
spiritdev Softwareentwicklung GmbH builds and operates the platform from Reinbek near Hamburg. Application data, backups and the meeting server run on Hetzner infrastructure in Germany, the AI features use Mistral AI in France, and the only documented third country transfer is mobile push notifications. The platform is described as GDPR and GoBD compliant, with a data processing agreement and procedure documentation included.
Ideal for agencies, IT service providers and consultancies that want one German hosted system instead of a patchwork of separate tools.

Track employee time, create custom client reports, and analyze project profitability. Integrates with 100+ tools for seamless workflow management.
Toggl Track gives teams frictionless time tracking and custom profitability reports built from the timesheets people actually fill in. One-click timers run on web, desktop, mobile, and browser extensions, while automated background tracking captures activity so nothing slips through, without the screenshots or camera monitoring that define surveillance-era time tools.
Tracked time feeds directly into custom reports for billing, utilization, workload, and project profitability, with approval workflows that turn timesheets into invoices. 100+ integrations pull project data from Jira, Salesforce, Asana, and other systems, and a calendar view lets employees convert meetings into time entries in a single click.
Key benefits:
- One-click timers across web, desktop, mobile, and browser extensions
- Automated tracking captures activity quietly in the background
- Custom reports on profitability, utilization, and workload
- Timesheet approvals route hours to managers before billing
- 100+ integrations sync Jira, Salesforce, Asana, and calendars
- Anti-surveillance policy bans screenshots and camera monitoring
Headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, Toggl Track operates under EU data-protection law with ISO 27001 certification, SOC 2 Type I compliance, and a guaranteed 99.99% uptime SLA. Estonian hosting and ownership keep time and project data fully within European jurisdiction, making it a sovereign alternative to US-based time-tracking and workforce-analytics vendors.
Trusted by agencies, consultancies, and remote teams including Talk Shop Media, Netconomy, and Xmartlabs, with Netconomy reporting 100% adoption across 500+ employees.

Menu bar timer, timesheets with approvals, task boards and team chat in one place, with an MCP server so AI agents track time too.
Hourtick puts time tracking, tasks and team chat in one workspace and treats AI agents as teammates. Agents can be mentioned in chat or handed a task, and they log their own time, so the hours an assistant spends on client work show up in the same timesheets and invoices as everyone else's.
On the Mac, a menu bar timer starts with a keyboard shortcut, detects idle time and keeps working offline. Weekly timesheets go through approvals, and reports separate billable hours from those not yet invoiced. Tasks live on boards and lists with assignees, checklists and files, and invoices are sent through your own Stripe account with no Hourtick fee. A public MCP server and a REST API let tools like Claude and Cursor read and write tasks and timers.
Key benefits:
- Menu bar timer with a shortcut, idle detection and offline sync
- Timesheets with approvals and billable versus uninvoiced reporting
- Task boards and lists with assignees, due dates and checklists
- Channels, DMs and threads right next to the work they discuss
- AI agents as teammates that take tasks and track their own time
- MCP server and REST API for assistants and custom integrations
- Invoicing through your Stripe account with no platform fee
Hourtick is a product of WeCode A/S, a Danish software company registered in Copenhagen since 2016. Application servers, the database and uploaded files run on Akamai Cloud (formerly Linode) in Frankfurt, Germany, unless a workspace admin chooses US file storage. Akamai is a US company, and other processors such as Stripe, Cloudflare and Mailgun may access data from outside the EU under the Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses.
The free plan covers unlimited people and every feature with 500 MB of usage a month, and Pro is 29 dollars a month for 5 GB.
