Details
Toggl was created in 2006 by Alari Aho and Krister Haav in Tallinn, Estonia.[5][6] The service was initially developed for internal use and is targeted at small groups, developers, and independent consultants. It is designed for several different operating systems including iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.[7][8] Toggl employs more than 80 employees.[9]
Time entries and active timers are synchronized in real-time via a cloud service to the website and various applications. Reporting features allow users to track the time spent on various projects and analyze productivity.[10][11]
According to Alari Aho, Toggl's CEO and founder, the application has been fully self-funded from the start. The name has been created using random name generator.[2]
In 2014, the company made the transition from a company based in Tallinn to an entirely remote business.[6]

Technology
From the beginning, Toggl was based on Ruby on Rails. Starting in 2013, Toggl's began to operate on Google's programming language Go on the back-end. The frontend works on Javascript (Backbone.js, Coffeescript). It also uses some HTML5 features (offline storage) and websockets to synchronize separate devices in real-time. Database operates on PostgreSQL and Redis.[2] Phonegap is used for mobile devices, and Chromium for desktop.
