About

Mochiba

The clock-in app that feels like a friend. Mochi is a chill capybara who taps you when you arrive at work and again when it's time to leave. Track your days at this job, your hours worked, and your moments of "ugh, I forgot." How it works • Set your workplace once. Mochi remembers. • Mochi taps you when you arrive — one tap and you're clocked in. • At the end of your shift, another tap. You're done. • Watch your day counter grow. Customize what it says. What you'll see • A day counter that grows with you • Total hours worked, all-time • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Milestones at day 7, 30, 100, 365 • Custom labels — call your counter whatever fits What you won't see • Ads (ever — Mochi promised) • Account signup • Pressure to clock in "for productivity" • Mochi guilt-tripping you for missing days • Your data sold to anyone Mochiba runs on your phone. Your data stays with you. How Mochiba uses your location Mochiba uses background location to notice when you arrive at and leave your saved workplace, so the reminder can fire even if the app isn't open. Continued use of background location may decrease battery life — in our testing, geofencing barely registers because Mochiba only watches a single 100m circle and never tracks continuous movement. Made for shift workers, hourly workers, freelancers, anyone whose company makes them clock in with a face scanner and a stern look. Mochi has your back. Designed for adults working hourly or shift schedules. A note on data: Mochiba runs entirely on your phone — no servers, no accounts, no sync. Reinstalling the app starts fresh.
