Logger tracks the time you work and calculates your pay. You can share your timesheet with an employer, client, or save for your records. It's important to keep an accurate log of the hours you work. Logger is a powerful-yet-simple time keeping app. Clock-in when you start working, pause to take a break, and clock-out when it's quitting time. The entry is saved and organized automatically. ----- ## TRACK YOUR HOURS Clock in when you start, take a break for lunch, and clock out when you're done. It's never been easier to keep an accurate record of the time you work. ## REWRITE HISTORY Your history is always under your control. Don't worry if you forgot to clock out or need to retroactively add a coffee break. With just a tap you can change the date, times, or add a comment. ## TIMESHEETS IN YOUR POCKET The Timesheet screen makes it easy to see totals for any pay period or custom time span. ## MAKE A NOTE Easily add comments to any entry. Comments are helpful for logging what you accomplished that day, or a reminder of where you left off in the middle of a project. ## ESTIMATE YOUR PAYCHECK (Pro) Logger calculates what you'll be paid for each shift (we call them Entries). Compare with your pay stubs to verify you're being paid the right amount. ## EXPORT AS PDF + SHARE (Pro) At the end of a pay period, you might need to report your hours to an employer or email it to a client for invoicing. Logger allows you to create a customized timesheet using your logged sessions. The app generates a professionally formatted PDF that you can text, email, or AirDrop to whoever needs it. ## DOWNLOAD TIMESHEETS (Pro) You can also save a copy of your timesheets to keep for your personal records. This comes in very handy when tax-season rolls around.

Verdict

The call

Logger and Hourly both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Logger's written reviews are positive against 25% of Hourly's. Logger also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and ads (none vs shown). Hourly's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On rating, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
