Know exactly what every shift is worth. Watch your pay tick up live on your Lock Screen, plan your work schedule in seconds and see your take-home pay before you say yes to overtime. Built by a shift worker, for shift workers. Free, no subscription, no sign-up. YOUR EARNINGS, LIVE ON THE LOCK SCREEN The moment you start a shift, a Live Activity shows your pay ticking up and the time left, without opening the app. On iPhone 14 Pro and later it appears in the Dynamic Island too. WATCH YOUR PAY TICK UP Enter your hourly rate and Overtime Live counts your earnings up second by second, with overtime tracked separately from regular hours. KNOW YOUR REAL TAKE-HOME PAY See past the gross figure. The What-If calculator compares hours, rate and estimated take-home pay before you accept a shift, and the Take Home Pay card estimates what you actually keep after tax. Set your pay period to weekly, biweekly, monthly or a custom date and track every payday. BUILT FOR SHIFT WORK Handle the pay that office apps ignore: overtime multipliers like time and a half and double time, shift differentials, on-call days with separate callback pay, flat-rate sleep-ins, shifts with no set end that count up until you finish, and custom rates for any arrangement. Split a shift across different rates or an unpaid break and track comp time. Add expenses and receipt photos to any shift. PLAN YOUR SCHEDULE IN SECONDS Pick a popular rotation such as DuPont, Pitman or 4 on 4 off, or build your own and fill in weeks or months ahead. Save your usual shifts as templates, set reminders and see everything in month, week, day, agenda or full-screen calendar views. Overlap warnings, schedule export and iPhone calendar sync included. INSIGHTS, STATS & GOALS Explore a 12-month hours and earnings heatmap, track totals and averages, set a yearly goal and unlock achievements as your shifts add up. On compatible iPhones, optional Apple Intelligence creates a short personalized briefing on-device. YOUR DATA, YOUR WAY Your shift, pay and goal data stays on your device. Optional iCloud backup uses your personal iCloud account and keeps earlier copies automatically, so you can restore if you need to. Export your hours and pay history as CSV or a monthly PDF for taxes or bookkeeping. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PRO UNLOCK Shift tracking, live earnings, your schedule calendar, stats and iCloud backup are free. Your first 30 days include every Pro feature. After that, a one-time Pro purchase removes ads, adds the Apple Watch app and lifts the limits on What-If calculations, exports, expenses and pay period tracking. No subscription. WHO IT'S FOR Nurses, CNAs and caregivers. Police, EMTs and firefighters. Retail, restaurant and warehouse workers. Security, delivery drivers and gig workers. Anyone paid by the hour who wants to see what their time is really worth. Available in English, German, Spanish and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Download Overtime Live and make every hour count.

Uptick shows what you earn, second by second, while you work. Enter your pay and your hours. That's the whole setup. The counter starts, and from then on you can see exactly where your day stands — what you've earned so far, what's left, and how the month is adding up. WATCH IT, DON'T CALCULATE IT A salary is an abstraction until you see it move. Uptick turns yours into something you can actually watch: a number that climbs while you work, a bar that fills as the day goes, a month that builds itself. IN WHATEVER MAKES SENSE TO YOU Euros are fine. But money means more when it has a shape. Uptick can show your earnings in coffees, beers, meals, baguettes, litres of petrol, grams of gold or Bitcoin — and you can create your own units with your own prices. The scale adapts on its own: a few millilitres in the morning, litres by the evening. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY GET PAID - Monthly salary, hourly rate, or freelance day rate - Your real working days, not an assumed Monday-to-Friday - Start and end times that match your shift - Optional contract or mission dates, so a fixed-term job counts correctly ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN AND HOME SCREEN Widgets keep the number in front of you. And when you switch on background tracking, your day keeps counting while the phone is in your pocket — within the limits iOS sets. YOUR MONEY STAYS ON YOUR PHONE There is no account, no sign-up and no password. Your pay, your hours and your days are stored on your device and used for one thing: counting. The app asks, once, whether you're willing to share anonymous usage — which screens you open, which options you change. It's off until you answer, you can say no, and saying no changes nothing about the app. A second, separate switch can share your actual settings; it's off by default and only you can turn it on. IN YOUR LANGUAGE 19 languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Norwegian, Romanian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Nigerian Pidgin. Right-to-left layouts included. Free, no ads, no tracking for advertising, nothing to buy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Uptick at none against Overtime Live's 1. Uptick also leads on ads (none vs shown). Overtime Live's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price there is nothing between them.
