Redminer is a fast, native mobile client for Redmine. Connect the Redmine server your team already uses and keep issues, time tracking and projects in your pocket — no browser, no pinch-zooming. TRACK TIME WITHOUT FRICTION • Start a timer on any issue with one tap; it keeps running in the background and stays visible in a notification. • Juggle several timers and switch between tasks instantly. • Log spent time with activity and comment, or fix an entry later. • Daily report: see what you did today and share it in seconds. • Export time entries to a file for invoices and timesheets. ALL YOUR ISSUES AT HAND • "My tasks" shows everything assigned to you, with priority, status and progress at a glance. • Open any issue for description, custom fields, attachments, sub-tasks, watchers and the full comment history. • Create and edit issues, change status, add notes and photos. • Filters, saved queries, sorting, search and favourites. • Checklists (RedmineUP Checklists plugin supported). PROJECTS AND TEAM INSIGHTS • Browse project trees, members, roadmap, news and wiki. • Project statistics: team workload, work dynamics and activity breakdown. • Personal statistics: your most productive day, hours per project and the most time-consuming issues. CRM ON THE GO (RedmineUP CRM) • Contacts with photos, phones, e-mails and addresses — call or write in a tap. • Deals pipeline with amounts, stages and probability. • Notes, related contacts and deals, all synced with your Redmine. BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD SETUPS • Several Redmine accounts and servers — switch in a tap. • Sign in with login & password or an API key; two-factor authentication and client certificates are supported. • Home-screen widget with your tasks and today's time. • Dark mode. • Available in English and Ukrainian. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Redminer talks directly to your own Redmine server. We don't run a backend that sees your data: credentials are kept in the iOS Keychain and never leave your device except to sign in to your server. REQUIREMENTS A Redmine server (2.1 or newer, latest recommended) with the REST API enabled (Administration → Settings → API). CRM features require the RedmineUP CRM plugin; checklists require the RedmineUP Checklists plugin. Redminer is an independent app and is not affiliated with the Redmine project.
