About Daybreak
Daybreak is a very simplistic timesheet and vacation planning program for small businesses. It was created because I needed something I could host myself and integrate better into our local IT enviornment. Other open sourced programs like smalltime or kimai didn't work out for me, since they did not comply to C-55/18 EuGH or where not easily extendable. This program is inspired by papershift. If you are looking for something more robust and/or more enterprise ready, I suggest you test and use their service at papershift.com.
