Each workplace has its own rate, overtime rules, allowances, deductions, icon, and color. • Smart shift logging — Add shifts via calendar grid or timeline. Templates from history make repeat schedules effortless. • Income breakdown — Gross income, monthly allowances, and deductions line by line. Net take-home is calculated automatically. • Lightweight expense tracking — Date, amount, category, note.
