Simply track your personal time balance and manage your overtime. Add optional notes to time entries. Export working hour log entries to CSV file for billing or additional analysis. How this app works? A time entry during a day signals the Work Hours app that the day is a working day. The app then reduces set working hours from the time balance. This way, you do not need to mark working days, holidays or time off to the app. You only need to track in and out. This simplicity has couple caveats. 1. This app does not work for you if your working hours span between two different days (you have night shifts). 2. This app does not work for you if your expected working hours are not constant. Work Hours app works for employees that have a certain amount of hours per day / week / month that they need to fulfill. 3. In case of full time off day that affects your time balance you will need to add single short time entry to activate the day as a working day. -- Simple: Just click in, click out to clock in, clock out! No need to add working days, mark holidays or add time off entries. Instant Time Balance: Get an immediate snapshot of your over or undertime. Time balance helps you adjust working hours, ensuring you don't burn out. Plan with Precision: Took unexpected time off? Know exactly how much you need to clock in to meet your expected working hours. Reliable Records: Wondering about your working times on a particular day? Browse the detailed logs anytime for clarity. Optional Notes: Need to log what your worked on? Add notes to a work log entry to record additional information. Privacy: Work Hours app does not use internet connection or analytics to track you or upload your data to third parties. Export and Analyze: Export working hours entries to CSV file for further analysis or billing. Additional features: - Base supports 20 time entries. - Dark mode supported. Pro features: - Unlimited time entries.
