Vikunja vs My Hours
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Vikunja and My Hours — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Vikunja vs My Hours: at a glance
What is Vikunja?
Vikunja crossed the v1.0 finish line and pivoted hard into security hardening.
Vikunja shipped two v1.0 release candidates through late 2025 and early 2026, then jumped to a v2 series whose first widely-tagged point release, v2.2.1, is dominated by security work. The latest release patches multiple SSRF and IDOR vulnerabilities, enforces disabled/locked-account semantics across every auth surface (OIDC, API tokens, CalDAV, LDAP), and adds a shared SSRF-safe HTTP client that webhooks and migrations now route through. User-facing feature work has slowed; the visible energy is in plumbing and audit cleanup.
What is My Hours?
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.

Vikunja
0.0PM
Vikunja crossed the v1.0 finish line and pivoted hard into security hardening.
◆ Current state
Vikunja shipped two v1.0 release candidates through late 2025 and early 2026, then jumped to a v2 series whose first widely-tagged point release, v2.2.1, is dominated by security work. The latest release patches multiple SSRF and IDOR vulnerabilities, enforces disabled/locked-account semantics across every auth surface (OIDC, API tokens, CalDAV, LDAP), and adds a shared SSRF-safe HTTP client that webhooks and migrations now route through. User-facing feature work has slowed; the visible energy is in plumbing and audit cleanup.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc moves from feature-completion (S3 storage, drag-and-drop project moves, hover previews in late 2025) toward platform credibility — closing security gaps a self-hosted task tool needs to clear before serious team adoption. The rapid version-number jump from v1.0.0-rc4 to v2.2.1 in two months suggests v1.0 shipped and the team tagged a v2 line aimed at addressing accumulated authz debt. Expect the next several releases to keep the security-first posture rather than return to a feature push.
◆ Prediction
The next release will likely continue closing remaining authz edges (more IDOR audits, additional credential-stripping in API responses) and bundle a translations and dependency sweep. A user-facing feature push probably waits until the security work plateaus.
My Hours
5.0PM
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
◆ Current state
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
◆ Where it's heading
My Hours keeps shipping every one to three weeks, and the work is concentrated on the billing end: invoices, profitability and approval controls. It is moving from a time tracker toward the system agencies use to bill clients.
◆ Prediction
Expect more invoicing controls, such as recurring invoices or payment tracking, given four straight releases touching billing. The September MCP server has had no follow-up in these entries.
