Ever Gauzy vs TimeTagger: at a glance
What is Ever Gauzy?
Ever Gauzy links time logs to invoice lines so the same hours are never billed twice.
Ever Gauzy ships many small tags a day, most built and reviewed with AI code-review bots. November 13 alone brought seven tags: invoice lines now record the time logs they bill, with a filter that leaves out time already invoiced, chat suggests team names for new channels, and task automations react when a linked GitHub pull request or issue closes. The rest are fixes for date-only due dates, chat on Postgres and MySQL collations.
What is TimeTagger?
A time tracker that ships twice a year and spends it on self-hosters.
TimeTagger is a self-hosted time tracker maintained by a small core with a steady stream of outside contributions. Releases land two or three times a year and bundle whatever community PRs arrived rather than a planned roadmap. Recent work concentrates on the deployment and integration surface — an API for external tooling, a hardened default binding, offline usage — rather than the tracking UI itself.

◆ Current state
Ever Gauzy ships many small tags a day, most built and reviewed with AI code-review bots.

The rest are fixes for date-only due dates, chat on Postgres and MySQL collations.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is tying its separate modules together: time tracking to invoicing, chat to teams, and tasks to GitHub events. The fast tag cadence means each feature arrives with several follow-up fix tags the same day.
◆ Prediction
Expect more task-automation triggers from external tools after the GitHub closed-link event, and invoicing work that uses the new billed-time links.

◆ Current state
TimeTagger is a self-hosted time tracker maintained by a small core with a steady stream of outside contributions. Releases land two or three times a year and bundle whatever community PRs arrived rather than a planned roadmap. Recent work concentrates on the deployment and integration surface — an API for external tooling, a hardened default binding, offline usage — rather than the tracking UI itself.
◆ Where it's heading
The center of gravity has moved from the timeline UI toward how an instance is run and scripted against. v25.12.1 added a version endpoint and server-side record filters, which are the pieces an operator needs to automate against a deployment; v24.12.2 moved the default bind to loopback after an auth gap. The app-facing changes in the same window are smaller and mostly contributed.
◆ Prediction
The next release will most likely extend the records API further, since that is where the last cycle of contributions concentrated. The two-releases-a-year cadence gives no basis for predicting when.
