## What is iPunchclock?

The location-aware time tracker with a focus on clean, ergonomic workflow for efficient tracking of your activities.

"Hands down the best time tracking app for the iPhone (5 Stars)
by Eddiela"

"Best one (5 Stars)
by mcomte"



iPunchclock makes it easy to track the time you spend on different tasks. Whether you are a professional who bills by the hour, or just have a serious interest in tracking what you do, and when and where, to the second, iPunchclock is there for you.

Thanks to the iPhone's awesome technology, iPunchclock is also location savvy, and along with the time and date, can store the longitude, latitude and altitude at which you start and stop on a particular task. iPunchclock can help everyone, from lawyers and independent contractors to scientists and backcountry marathon runners, track their activities with ease and precision.
iPunchclock manages multiple independent 'timesheets'. Each timesheet is made up of any number of tasks you care to add. Each task contains a list of 'shifts'. Whenever you start working on that task, just tap start, and iPunchclock opens a new shift, recording the exact time and place. Multitaskers rejoice, your iPunchclock can hold as many simultaneously active tasks as you need, across any number of timesheets. In addition to the task descriptions, each shift can carry its own comment. Once you have accumulated a mass of data defining your activities, you can export them via email or directly to a browser via WiFi or upload to the cloud.

Because you can add or edit shifts in your timesheet at any time, iPunchclock can easily be used to create a timesheet at day's end, rather than logging activities as they occur.

iPunchclock is designed for efficiency, and will wake up ready to start or stop your most recent task at a touch.

Features:

Location-aware time sheets, mark your 4-dimensional coordinates!

Multiple concurrent shifts in multiple tasks in multiple timesheets

Export timesheets, reports, summaries, or single tasks to Google Drive, Dropbox, or email in standard CSV or TSV format

Dropbox Sync: keep live cloud-based versions of your timesheets that update as needed whenever a connection is available

Export preferences customize date formats and exported fields, allowing you to hide or include start/stop times start/stop dates or location information

Timesheet templates allow you to set up tasks to automatically populate new timesheets

Live times and totals, with optional hourly rate

Flexibility with focus, no need to set up client databases, just time your stuff, whatever it may be

Timesheet Archive function automatically splits timesheet for reporting ongoing projects without double billing or losing a second

Backup and restore or share timesheets using Google Drive or Dropbox

iTunes File Sharing for backup/restore and easy access to exported data

Time span display preferences, hide seconds display hours and minutes or fractional hours (i.e. 3:30 or 3.5), 

Round times up to 5, 6, 10,15, 30 or 60 minute intervals at shift or task level. 

Friendly location-quality indicator instantly shows how accurate your position measurement will be

Keeps timing all your tasks even when app is closed or iPhone is off

Note: iPunchclock's location-based features depend on your device. For iPods without GPS, you must be content with old-fashioned 1D time tracking.

'Air Server' exports your data to any browser on your WIFI network, with no special software to install, even share with another iphone.

Exports page for instant access to CSV, HTML, single-task and summary timesheet export

Export preview, shows export data before you send it to google, mail or your desktop browser.

Improved export report formatting, check samples on our website!

In-app email with CSV/TSV and report attachments.

Per-task pay rate option: override the pay rate for specific tasks. 

Lock time sheet: Archives and templates are automatically locked, to prevent inadvertent changes

### 1/5 — Erased my old data

*2017-12-27, version 6.0.0*

Been using this app for years, I cannot recommend it at all now. I had years of time data completely erased with the latest update. Do not use this app.

### 2/5 — IOS update erased all data

*2017-12-02, version 6.0.0*

The App itself had an update about a week ago and I updated to iOS 11 last night and today I realized that all of my data going back years has been erased. I don’t appreciate this at all. My rating would’ve been five yesterday. I would like to know if there’s a way to get my data back.

### 1/5 — Vorsicht! IOS 11 löscht alle Daten

*2017-10-14, version 6.0.0*

Nach Jahren des erfolgreichen Nutzens jetzt leider beim Update auf iOS 11 alle Daten gelöscht ...  bitte unbedingt vorher sichern.

### 1/5 — No longer supported.

*2017-10-08, version 6.0.0*

This app was good a few years ago, but the development team is no longer available for support. The last update was for iOS 7. Back ups to Google drive and Drop box fail. All time sheets lose their data when upgrading to iOS 11.x!  That was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Time to Move on.

### 5/5 — Seit Jahren!

*2016-04-25, version 6.0.0*

Ich benutze es auch seit der ersten Version. Jetzt in dieser neuen kann man beim Export sogar ‚Open in‘ machen, was dann ermöglicht, dass ich das TSV per AirDrop in Numbers auf dem iPad oder Mac aufmachen kann, ohne über Mail zu gehen. Wie der Vorschreiber schon sagt, weiterverarbeiten muss man die Daten sowieso, da immer wieder ein anderes Stundenzettelformat mit anderen Daten gefordert ist. Aber mit iPunchclock waren bisher alle Grundlagen geschaffen, und das stabil!

### 5/5 — Einfach, hinreichend und zuverlässig

*2016-04-23, version 6.0.0*

Seit der ersten Version für mein iPhone 3, 4, 5 und 6 habe ich alle Leistungsnachweise bei meiner Tätigkeit als Freelancer mit iPunchclock erfasst. 
   Ob ich per Tagessatz, Einzelstunden oder viertelstündige abrechne,  mit iPunchclock hab' ich immer aktuelle Abrechnungsdaten, für alle meine Projekte an der Hand. Backup: Sicherung und Berichte sind auf dem Gerät, via E-Mail oder in der Cloud verfügbar.
    Ja, ich habe die erfassten Zeiten _immer_ übertragen müssen, da bisher jeder Kunde andere Anforderungen ans Format gestellt hat, was ich jedoch nicht diese App vorwerfe kann.

### 1/5 — Programm mit Fehlern

*2012-02-10, version 4.3.0*

Bei mir verhält sich das App.  fehlerhaft. Warum das so ist, ist mir ein Rätsel. Leider gibt es keinen Support. Anfragen werden nicht beantwortet. Problemmeldungen oder Rückgabe des App.  ist mir noch nicht gelungen.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2011-11-17, version 4.3.0*

I am disappointed that you cannot manually enter your time. I cant always start the clock running for a time entry before I begin a task, for example, taking a phone call. I need to be able to manually enter, or add to, my time entries.  Please add this update. Otherwise, it is not worth the price paid for the app.

### 1/5 — Big claims but I don't see it.

*2011-03-15, version 4.3.0*

Where is the settings menu to set up backups? Where do I adjust time values? (minutes, decimals, seconds) Where is the help? Where are the instructions? Where is all the stuff that makes this app useable?

### 2/5 — UI Issues

*2010-09-10*

I'm a very computer/iPhone savoy person and I could not figure out the user interface. It's very confusing and hard to find the features you want. (If they're there) My biggest complaint is that you can't enter your hourly rate to calculate pay. I wish there was a lite version so I wouldn't have wasted $5.
