One-tap clock in. Hours, overtime & commute — automatically tracked. Built for shift workers, freelancers, and anyone whose schedule isn't 9-to-5. No subscription. 7 days free, then own it forever. —————— Work is important. But it isn't everything. Most time trackers count the hours you sit at your desk. Workloom counts the real cost of your career — the commute before and after, the shifts that run into the night, the years that quietly pile up. Because your true working time isn't the hours you spend in the office. It's every moment work takes from the rest of your life. When you see clearly how much of your life work occupies, you begin to treasure what remains — family, friends, quiet mornings, the small beauties of an ordinary day. Work matters. But so does everything work leaves behind. Workloom is built around this single idea. WHAT WORKLOOM TRACKS • Clock in, clock out — one-tap work sessions with a live timer • Commute time — the hours work takes from you before you even arrive • In-session events — meetings, breaks, lunch, anything worth logging • Mood at clock-out — how work actually felt, not just how long it lasted • Overtime — stored separately so you never lose sight of it • Career history — every job, every company, summed into the one number that matters: how much of your life it took BUILT FOR REAL SCHEDULES Clock out at 2 AM the next day? No problem. Workloom was designed for day shifts, night shifts, split shifts, and overtime that runs past midnight. ANALYTICS THAT TELL A STORY Daily, weekly, and monthly breakdowns. Work hours vs. commute. Overtime trends. Mood patterns over time. Beautiful charts that turn your workdays into something you can finally see. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data lives on your device. Optional iCloud sync keeps it safe across your iPhone and iPad — and only yours. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. TRY FREE, OWN FOREVER 7 days free with every feature unlocked. Then a single one-time purchase — own it forever. No subscriptions. No recurring charges. No surprise bills. Built with care for people who want to work well — and live well, too.
