Timepio brings shift planning, time tracking, team management, and task control into one app — so you can stop juggling WhatsApp groups, spreadsheets, and paper schedules. EVERYTHING YOUR TEAM NEEDS — ONE APP Timepio replaces the chaos of scattered tools with a single, clean workspace. Schedules, time tracking, tasks, vacation requests, and team communication — all in one place. Your team opens one app and has everything they need for their workday. SHIFT PLANNING & SCHEDULING Build weekly schedules in minutes. Assign shifts, copy last week's plan, and publish with one tap. Your team gets notified instantly and can confirm their shifts right in the app. Color-coded calendar shows confirmed, pending, and draft schedules at a glance — you always know exactly where things stand. SHIFT SWAPS BETWEEN EMPLOYEES Employees can request shift swaps directly with their colleagues — no phone calls, no confusion. The manager approves or declines with one tap. Both sides see the swap status in real time. It just works. LIVE TIME TRACKING One tap to clock in, one tap to clock out. The live dashboard shows who's working right now, who's on break, and total hours this week. Overtime and breaks are calculated automatically — no more manual counting at the end of the month. FULL TEAM CONTROL Your entire team on one screen. See who's active, on vacation, available, or clocked in. Manage roles, positions, and individual working hours. Invite new members in seconds — they're set up immediately. TASK MANAGEMENT Assign tasks with priorities, due dates, and file attachments. Track everything from open to done. Team members comment, attach photos, and update progress directly on each task. Overdue items are flagged automatically. It's project management built right into your shift planner. VACATION & ABSENCE MANAGEMENT Employees request time off in the app. Managers approve with one tap. The vacation calendar shows all requests with color-coded dots — approved, pending, sick days. Balance tracking included. No more paper forms or email chains. TEAM COMMUNICATION — NO MORE WHATSAPP Post announcements your whole team sees. Send direct messages to individual employees. Read receipts show who's seen what. Handover notes between shifts keep everyone in the loop. One app replaces your WhatsApp group, notice board, and email threads. REPORTS THAT ACTUALLY HELP Monthly reports with planned vs. actual hours, overtime, breaks, and holiday hours — per employee and for the whole team. Export as CSV or PDF for payroll or compliance. Real numbers, not guesswork. BUILT FOR REAL BUSINESSES Restaurants, cafés, bakeries, retail stores, hotels, healthcare, cleaning companies, warehouses — if your business runs on shifts, Timepio fits. From a small café with 5 people to a company with hundreds of employees. WORKS ON EVERY DEVICE Use Timepio on your iPhone, iPad, or any browser. Data syncs instantly. Employees check schedules, clock in, swap shifts, and chat from wherever they are. SUBSCRIPTION PLANS Timepio offers two subscription plans via In-App Purchase: • Personal — individual time tracking. • Business — shift planning for teams up to 10 employees. Monthly or yearly. Yearly saves 17%. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
