WorkLog is a time-tracking and pay-management tool built for the modern worker — hourly or salaried, full-time or side hustle. Every minute worked, every cent earned, accounted for with clarity. [ONE-TAP TIMER, REAL-TIME EARNINGS] • Press once to start. Live Activities and Home Screen widgets keep the clock visible from the Lock Screen — no need to reopen the app. • Today's earnings update live as the timer runs. • Survives overnight spans, background suspension, and device restarts — your timer state is always restored. [CALENDAR VIEW, AT A GLANCE] • Heat-map calendar reveals your work intensity at a glance; list view for quick scanning of history. • Long-press any date to backfill a shift; batch edit, archive, or delete with a swipe. • Every record keeps a full change history — never wonder "what did I change last time?" again. [MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SUMMARIES] • Five time scopes: Day, Week, Month, Year, and All-Time. • One card shows: total hours, regular hours, overtime hours, gross earnings, social insurance, housing fund, income tax, and net pay. • Period-over-period comparison and trend charts show whether you're up or down. • Export to CSV in one tap for reimbursements, reconciliation, or archiving. [INCOME TAX CALCULATOR — CITY-AWARE] • Built-in five-insurance-and-one-fund ratios and income tax brackets for major Chinese cities. • Supports special additional deductions (children's education, housing rent, elderly care, and more). • Pull values from an existing work profile, or run a standalone simulation — year-end bonus separate taxation supported too. [FLEXIBLE MULTI-JOB MANAGEMENT] • Manage multiple jobs simultaneously — each with its own color, icon, and pay structure. • Hourly or monthly pay modes, configurable pay cycles (weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly). • Custom overtime rules: daily excess, weekly excess, rest days, and holidays each set independently. • Lunch break toggle and adjustable start/end times — count it as work or not. • Social insurance and housing fund base, personal and employer ratios all editable. • Salary change history kept on file — every adjustment traceable. [SYNC & BACKUP, WORRY-FREE] • iCloud sync keeps iPhone, iPad, and all your devices in step in real time. • CSV import and export — nothing is lost when switching devices. • App Group shared storage means the widget and Live Activity read the same data as the app. [THOUGHTFUL DETAILS] • 8 currencies: CNY, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, KRW, HKD, TWD. • Bilingual (Simplified Chinese / English) — follow the system or pick manually. • Light, Dark, or Automatic appearance. • Adjustable font size — friendlier on the eyes. • Holiday subscription auto-detects statutory holidays and makeup workdays for accurate overtime. • Fully on-device storage; your private data never leaves your device or iCloud. —— WorkLog — log every moment, earn every day.
