About

Timeharbor

Features
Read full description

TimeHarbor is an offline-first time tracking app built for people who need reliable, private, and flexible time logging — whether at a desk or in the field. FEATURES • Clock In/Out — Start and stop time with one tap. Assign time to tickets or projects. • Works Offline — All data is stored locally first. Use it without a connection; sync when you're back online. • Encrypted Sync — Your data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it ever leaves your device. The server never sees your raw data. • Multi-Profile — Switch between up to 5 named profiles on one device. Great for contractors or anyone juggling multiple roles. • Biometric Lock — Protect your time entries with Face ID or fingerprint. • Break Tracking — Log breaks automatically within your work sessions. • Rich Notes — Add rich-text notes to any session using the built-in notepad. • Calendar View — Visualize your time across days and weeks. • Dark Mode — Easy on the eyes in any lighting condition. • Real-Time Sync — Instant updates across devices via Socket.io when online. • Push Notifications — Stay on top of reminders and team activity. PRIVACY FIRST TimeHarbor uses a zero-knowledge server-side architecture. Your time entries are encrypted on-device before syncing. Even if the server were compromised, your data remains unreadable without your personal encryption key. OPEN SOURCE TimeHarbor is open source. Review the code, run your own server, or contribute on GitHub. Ideal for freelancers, remote workers, field staff, and teams who need trustworthy time records without sacrificing privacy.
