ZimTik has been sunset, site is closing down soon

A SaaS like ZimTik consumes a lot of resources. For this to be justified it has to offer something unique and valuable to the world. Other systems have evolved to the point where ZimTik is now obsolete, so we're shutting down as soon as we can off-board our remaining customers.


The Sunset

A few words from Lau

When I started ZimTik back in 2021 I was scratching my own itch. I needed a very simple (the zim) system, for tracking my consulting tasks. Specifically, I wanted to make sure I got paid for every minute (the tik, as in tik-tok) spent on customer activities and all I could find was huge systems that did everything all at once. I just wanted something as simple yet powerful as Emacs.

Ironically, as soon as I had perfect tracking, automatically generating invoices from that data was a no-brainer addition - And then all I needed was to add expense-tracking and I had all of my financials handled, still in a fairly simple system. But it had certainly grown into more than I intended initially.

This also ultimately became the reason for shutting down. I use ZimTik for handling financial reporting in Denmark, but the requirements on electronic bookkeeping is now so strict, that I have to either go full force into accounting services or pull the plug. Since other people are already doing good work in this space, I'll gracefully bow out and leave the scene to them. I don't see I can add much value here and I don't particularily want to be in the accounting industry.

For these past 4 years, ZimTik never really took off. We peaked at around 250 concurrent customers and I'm very grateful for every single one of you, who decided ZimTik was worth your time and money.
