Measure Your Working Hours with Ease Effortlessly track your working hours or time spent at specific locations—without needing to keep the app open. It runs quietly in the background, monitoring your arrival and departure even when the app is closed. The app uses your iPhone’s built-in location services to detect when you enter or leave a defined area. For best accuracy, please ensure the following settings are enabled: • Location Services • Background App Refresh • Wi-Fi It relies on Apple’s Significant Location Change and Visiting location technologies which are battery-efficient way to monitor location. You may notice the location arrow in your status bar, but unlike GPS-based tracking, this method won’t significantly affect battery life. Keeping Wi-Fi on improves accuracy. It is also the fact that in the urban areas app works better because of many cell towers and WiFi networks while in the rural areas with limited cell towers and WiFi networks it can work less accurate Getting Started is Simple: 1. Create a new place 2. Find the location on the map 3. Adjust the radius (default is 150m) using the slider
