Features
Read full description

McTime is time tracking for your team: clock in with one tap, record absences and always know where you stand. CLOCK IN WITH ONE TAP Start, pause, stop. Pick the project or customer, add a comment, done. WORKS OFFLINE No signal on site? Clock in anyway. McTime sends your times with the real clock times as soon as the app is open and you are back online. AUTOMATIC GPS TIME TRACKING If you like, time tracking starts and stops automatically when you arrive at or leave a saved location. You switch it on per location. ATTENDANCE AND ABSENCES Working time, vacation, sick leave, time off and more. For one day or a date range, with breaks, comments and attachments. CLEAR CALENDAR Your month at a glance: color-coded by type, with weekly totals and public holidays. SMART FILTERS Show or hide working times, vacations, sick leave, absences or target times. Target vs. actual shows at once on which days you are ahead or behind. BALANCES Time off and vacation always with you: your current vacation balance and what you are entitled to until the end of the vacation year. NOTHING GETS LOST If a report could not be sent, it stays safe in the app. You see the reason and send it again. DARK MODE Easy on the eyes, even on the night shift. FOR COMPANIES USING MCTIME Your employer gives you access. Reports and approvals are handled on the web at mctime.com.
