Time Tracking for Startups
That Don't Want Enterprise Bloat
You have 8 people and a runway to manage. You don't need a tool designed for 800. You need something that works in two minutes and costs nothing until you're ready to scale.
Enterprise tools are built for enterprise budgets
You have 8 people and a runway to manage. You don't need a tool designed for 800. You don't need role hierarchies six levels deep. You don't need a "customer success manager" to teach your team how to click a timer button. You don't need a contract that locks you in for a year.
But that's what the market offers. Monday.com at $12/seat. Harvest at $10.80/user. Toggl at $9/user — and that's before you add invoicing, which they don't have. For an 8-person startup, you're looking at $100-150/month for time tracking. That money should be going to your product, not your tools.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Miru was built at a startup, for startups. We stripped out the bloat and kept the parts that actually matter.
Free for up to 5 users
Your first five team members get every feature at no cost. No trial. No credit card. No "upgrade to unlock reports." The full product, free, for as long as you need it. Most startups run on Miru free for their entire first year.
Two-minute setup
Sign up. Create a project. Start tracking. There's no onboarding wizard, no mandatory training video, no "schedule a demo" gate. Your team is logging hours within two minutes of hitting the signup page. We timed it.
Open source — your engineers can audit it
The entire codebase is MIT licensed on GitHub. Your security-conscious CTO can read every line. Your backend engineer can verify how data is stored. No black boxes. No trust-us-it's-fine. Just code you can inspect.
CLI for your dev team
Engineers hate context switching. The Miru CLI lets them track time without leaving the terminal. `miru track start`, do the work, `miru track stop`. It fits into the workflow they already have instead of inventing a new one.
Self-host when you need compliance
When your first enterprise customer asks about SOC 2 and data residency, you don't have to scramble. Self-host Miru on your own infrastructure. Your data, your servers, your compliance story. Most SaaS tools can't offer that.
The math for startups
Free. Literally free. Up to 5 people. All features. No credit card. No trial. No strings. Use it for a week, a month, a year — it doesn't expire.
When you grow past 5, it's $1/member/month. A 15-person startup pays $15/month. That's less than one lunch. Meanwhile, the same team on Harvest pays $162/month. On Monday.com, $180/month. You have better things to spend runway on.
We evaluated Toggl, Harvest, and Clockify before finding Miru. The others either nickel-and-dimed us on features or charged per-seat prices that made no sense for a team of six. Miru gave us everything for free. When we hit 10 people, we started paying $10/month. That's just absurdly reasonable.
