Shift & Pay Tracker

Know exactly what you're owed. Shift & Pay Tracker turns the hours you actually work into the number your paycheck should say. Clock in, take your break, clock out — and let the app handle the overtime math, the tips, the mileage and the pay periods. Built for hourly workers tired of guessing: nurses, servers and bartenders, drivers, retail and warehouse crews, tradespeople, and anyone juggling more than one job. IMPORTANT — THIS IS A PAID APP Shift & Pay Tracker has no free version and no free tier. Every feature is unlocked by an in-app purchase: Pro Yearly (which begins with a 3-day free trial), Pro Monthly, or a one-time Lifetime Access purchase. Prices are shown inside the app before you buy anything. A TIME CLOCK THAT DOES THE MATH • One-tap clock in and clock out • Paid and unpaid breaks, tracked to the minute • Live earnings that climb while you work • A Live Activity on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Add a past shift by hand any time you forget to clock in AUTOMATIC OVERTIME — THE PART PEOPLE GET SHORT-CHANGED ON • Weekly overtime: time and a half after 40 hours (the federal FLSA rule) • Daily overtime: time and a half after 8 hours in a day • Double time: 2x after 12 hours in a day • The 7th-consecutive-day rule • Or set your own thresholds and multipliers Your rules are applied to every shift automatically, so you see overtime the moment you earn it — not after payday. MULTIPLE JOBS, EACH WITH ITS OWN RULES Track unlimited jobs. Each keeps its own hourly wage, overtime rules, pay period, mileage rate and color, so a hospital shift and a restaurant shift never get mixed up. TIPS AND MILEAGE Log cash tips and miles driven on any shift. Mileage is reimbursed at your own per-mile rate, so you see what you really take home — not just your hourly wage. PAY PERIODS THAT MATCH YOUR REAL PAYCHECK Weekly, every two weeks, twice a month or monthly. Tell the app one date a pay period started and it works out every period from there. Open Earnings and see the exact gross pay you should be handed on payday. CSV EXPORT — PROOF OF EVERY HOUR Export a full timesheet to a spreadsheet in one tap: every shift split into regular, overtime and double-time hours, with tips, mileage and the gross total. Keep it, or send it to your employer if payroll gets it wrong. OPTIONAL ARRIVAL REMINDERS Save a workplace and the app can remind you to clock in when you arrive and clock out when you leave. Optional, off by default, and your location never leaves your device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No server. No analytics. No ads. Every shift, wage and note stays on your iPhone or iPad, and the whole app works offline. iPhone and iPad. Full Dark Mode. All amounts in US dollars (USD). WHAT IT COSTS • Pro Yearly — $19.99 per year (about $1.67 a month), starting with a 3-day free trial • Pro Monthly — $3.99 per month • Lifetime Access — $34.99 once, never renews Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
