mite: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

mite is a web-based tool for recording and evaluating working time. The website describes it as a lean online tool that works without installation. Users record their working time and review the results in overviews. It suits organisations that want a simpler alternative to large time-tracking suites and that currently use services such as Harvest or Toggl Track.

mite GmbH is based in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, according to the legal notice on the website. Its privacy policy names SysEleven GmbH in Berlin as the hosting provider for the mite application, and processing is governed by a data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR. The policy also lists sub-processors outside the EU, including New Relic, Inc. in the United States for server monitoring and error tracking, which relies on EU standard contractual clauses. The product is not open source, and the website does not describe a self-hosted version. A European organisation can review the sub-processor list before deciding.

Why digital sovereignty matters with mite

mite 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 mite scores best on data residency.

mite 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 mite together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
