Memtime: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Memtime is automatic time-tracking software. It runs in the background, records which programs you use and shows your day as a timeline, so you can assign hours to projects afterwards. It is aimed at accountants, agencies, consultants, law firms, developers and freelancers, among others, and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. It integrates with more than a hundred project and accounting tools, such as Harvest, Jira, Xero and QuickBooks. According to the vendor, Memtime is not intended for employee monitoring.

Memtime is operated by memtime GmbH in Munich, Germany. The vendor states that activity data is stored exclusively in a local database on the device. The Memtime Cloud holds account data for authorisation and log files without personal data, and, for connections to ERP and project-management systems, middleware with encrypted authorisations. Payments are handled by Stripe and Chargebee, with billing data also processed by DATEV. The vendor does not state in which region the cloud components run. Memtime is not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Memtime

Memtime is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Memtime scores best on data residency.

Memtime is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Memtime together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
