Never punch again. CICO clocks you in when you get to work and out when you leave — automatically, using your phone's location. No badge, no wall clock, no "did I remember to punch in?" Your hours just log themselves. Built for hourly workers: retail, bar, restaurant, warehouse — anyone who gets paid by the clock. AUTO CLOCK IN & OUT — FREE Set your work spot once. CICO notices when you arrive and when you leave, even with the app closed. This is the whole point of the app, and it doesn't cost anything. EVERY PUNCH IS YOURS Every clock-in and clock-out is its own record. Tap any punch to fix its time, change its status, or delete it. Walked in at 8:47 but started at 9? Nudge it. Your log should match your paycheck. BREAKS, HANDLED HONESTLY Take a break and CICO tracks it. If it catches you stepping off site mid-shift, it says so instead of quietly counting the time. Your timesheet shows what actually happened. SEE THE MONEY Add your hourly wage and your hours turn into dollars, with overtime split per week the way payroll does it. Daily overtime and double time too, if your state or contract works that way. CHECK YOUR PAYCHECK Payday? Type in what the stub says. CICO compares it against what you actually worked and tells you if it matches — or how much they're short. PROOF WHEN YOU NEED IT Export a clean timesheet as PDF or CSV. Every row shows whether the time came from GPS or was typed by hand, with signature lines for you and your manager. Hours only, the way a timesheet you hand in should be. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No server. No tracking. Your location and hours never leave your phone. Ever. FREE, AND WHAT ISN'T Automatic clock in and out, your full shift log, earnings and overtime math, and the paycheck check are free forever. One work spot, no time limit, no card. CICO Pro unlocks timesheet export without a watermark and lets you save more than one work spot. $4.99/month or $29.99/year, auto-renewing until canceled, or $99 once and it's yours forever. Cancel anytime in your App Store subscription settings. Clock in, clock out. Never punch again.
