About Daybreak
--------------

[](#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](https://www.small.li/) or [kimai](https://www.kimai.org/) 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](https://papershift.com).
