TimeClock vs CICO

Turn any phone or tablet into a smart time clock. No more expensive dedicated hardware — your phone is the time clock. Tap an NFC card or glance at the camera — clock in under 1 second. Track attendance in real time, export reports, and manage on-site and field staff from one dashboard. Use it fully offline, or sync attendance across devices with the cloud plan. Perfect for small businesses, retail chains, factories, and clinics. Why choose TimeClock? ## Zero Hardware Cost Turn any spare tablet or phone into a punch clock — even an old device works. ## 1-Second Clock-In, No Lines Tap an NFC card, or look up for instant face recognition. No queues, no delays. ## Works on Android & iOS Install on whatever device your team already has — phone or tablet, either platform. ## On-Site + Field Staff, One Dashboard Front-desk staff use NFC or face recognition on a shared tablet. Field staff clock in from their own phone via the companion Mobile Punch Clock app with GPS or WiFi verification. The cloud plan unifies both apps on one dashboard. ## No Internet? No Problem The offline edition works fully without network access. Data stays local — no cloud dependency, no downtime during outages. ## Face Data Stays On Your Device Facial feature vectors are AES-256 encrypted and stored locally on your device. They are never uploaded to our servers. Designed to align with GDPR and Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act principles. ## Manage Remotely as an Owner or HR The cloud plan includes a web dashboard so you can check attendance from anywhere — spot exceptions before month-end, not after.

Never punch again. CICO clocks you in when you get to work and out when you leave — automatically, using your phone's location. No badge, no wall clock, no "did I remember to punch in?" Your hours just log themselves. Built for hourly workers: retail, bar, restaurant, warehouse — anyone who gets paid by the clock. AUTO CLOCK IN & OUT — FREE Set your work spot once. CICO notices when you arrive and when you leave, even with the app closed. This is the whole point of the app, and it doesn't cost anything. EVERY PUNCH IS YOURS Every clock-in and clock-out is its own record. Tap any punch to fix its time, change its status, or delete it. Walked in at 8:47 but started at 9? Nudge it. Your log should match your paycheck. BREAKS, HANDLED HONESTLY Take a break and CICO tracks it. If it catches you stepping off site mid-shift, it says so instead of quietly counting the time. Your timesheet shows what actually happened. SEE THE MONEY Add your hourly wage and your hours turn into dollars, with overtime split per week the way payroll does it. Daily overtime and double time too, if your state or contract works that way. CHECK YOUR PAYCHECK Payday? Type in what the stub says. CICO compares it against what you actually worked and tells you if it matches — or how much they're short. PROOF WHEN YOU NEED IT Export a clean timesheet as PDF or CSV. Every row shows whether the time came from GPS or was typed by hand, with signature lines for you and your manager. Hours only, the way a timesheet you hand in should be. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. Your work records are stored on your device. CICO does not operate a server for these records or include third-party advertising or analytics. You choose when to share exports; Apple services such as Maps, purchases and device backups may process information. FREE, AND WHAT ISN'T Automatic clock in and out, your full shift log, earnings and overtime math, and the paycheck check are free forever. One work spot, no time limit, no card. Want clean PDF and CSV timesheets without a subscription? The one-time Export Unlock gives you clean exports whenever you need them. It does not add work locations. CICO Pro includes clean exports plus more than one work spot, with monthly, yearly and one-time Forever options. Existing Pro subscribers and CICO Forever owners keep clean exports without another purchase. Current prices are shown in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in your App Store subscription settings. Clock in, clock out. Never punch again.
