Your hours. Your pay. Your own clear record. The Smart TimeCard helps you track your hours and estimated pay whether you work for an employer, serve clients, or simply want your own record. A LITTLE SEASONAL DELIGHT Our Mid-Autumn Edition brings painted landscapes, lanterns, moonlight, and a mooncake-and-tea break scene into your workday. Tap the decorations to explore the stories behind them. Available through October 15, 2026. "I clock in and out with my work system. Why do I need this app? I don't even have a timesheet to submit." The Smart TimeCard is for you as well! Add your hours manually or simply use Autopilot to record them when you arrive at and leave work, follow your earnings, and compare your records with your paystub. You do not have to send reports to anyone. But when you do need it, it is ready to share. NOW ON APPLE WATCH Track your workday from your wrist. Start and end shifts, manage breaks, check today’s time and estimated earnings, and follow your shift with watch-face complications. Set up jobs and pay rules on iPhone. Manual actions recorded while your iPhone is disconnected sync when it reconnects. Automatic clock-out, when eligible and enabled for a shift, relies on iPhone location tracking. YOUR WORKDAY, IN VIEW Track your shift from the app, check its progress in a Live Activity, and keep a widget on your Home Screen. Light and dark appearances make your hours easy to follow throughout the day. SET UP WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK Smart Setup guides you through your name, workplace, rate, pay period and schedule. Use quick choices or type times naturally, including short replies like 845a and 530p. Each job can keep its own settings. HOURS, BREAKS AND EXPECTED PAY • Clock in and out manually, and record breaks • Track work from home, sick time, vacation, tips and bonuses • Review regular time, overtime, double-time and pay-period totals • Keep overnight shifts attached to their workday • Compare your recorded gross pay with your paystub • Record a raise with an effective date while keeping earlier rate history TIMECARDS YOU CAN SHARE Choose Comprehensive, Modern or Simple reports.

ADD AUTOPILOT WHEN YOU’RE READY. Free includes manual timekeeping for up to two active jobs or clients, CSV exports and ads. Rewarded videos can unlock older history or PDF, image and print access until midnight. Autopilot removes these ad gates. Video availability varies. Autopilot is a one-time in-app purchase, not a subscription. It adds automatic clock-in and clock-out at configured workplaces, more active jobs, full history and an ad-free experience. Automatic tracking depends on location permissions, workplace settings and device conditions. KEEP YOUR RECORDS WITH YOU No account required. Use the app in nine languages and back up or restore your work records with iCloud. Use Back Up Now before switching phones and see the date and time of your latest backup. Records stay on your device unless you choose to share, export or back them up. The Smart TimeCard estimates pay and helps you keep records; it does not process payroll or file taxes. Choose the pay and overtime rules that apply to your work. Some features require compatible devices, permissions or an in-app purchase.
