    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 β€” 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

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best European alternative to Harvest?
Toggl Track is the top-ranked European alternative to Harvest in our directory. 9 EU alternatives are listed on this page in total, scored by feature parity and relevance.
Is Harvest GDPR-compliant?
Harvest is headquartered outside the EU, which means personal data may be transferred to a non-EU jurisdiction. Since the 2020 Schrems II ruling, such transfers require a case-by-case transfer impact assessment under Article 46 GDPR. EU-based alternatives keep your data under European law by default with no transfer impact assessment required.
Why use a European alternative to Harvest?
European alternatives store data in EU jurisdictions, comply with GDPR by default, reduce exposure to the US CLOUD Act and FISA 702, and strengthen the European tech ecosystem. For regulated industries β€” health, public sector, finance β€” EU hosting is often a legal requirement, not just a preference.
How do I migrate from Harvest to a European alternative?
Start by exporting your data from Harvest, then pick the alternative that best matches your feature requirements β€” most EU alternatives listed here offer import tools or migration guides. Running both services in parallel for a week catches any edge cases before you fully switch.
