Know exactly what you're making - before and after payday. Clocked is the hourly pay tracker that closes the loop between your shifts and your paychecks. Log a shift, get an instant projection of your gross, take-home, and estimated taxes. Log your paycheck, and Clocked reconciles reality against those projections - freezing finalized shifts to real numbers and learning your actual take-home rate so every future estimate gets more accurate. THE PROJECTION → PAYCHECK LOOP Every shift starts as a projection. Once you log your paycheck, Clocked allocates the real net across the shifts it paid for, updates your learned take-home rate, and locks those shifts in as finalized. The more paychecks you log, the sharper your projections get. HOME - YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE Home focuses on the current week: total earned, hours, shift count, and $/hr - or your weekly goal card if you've set one. Step back or ahead with the week picker. The "+" button opens a quick-add menu to log a shift, schedule a shift, or log a paycheck in one tap. SHIFT TRACKING Log worked and scheduled shifts with clock-in/out times, unpaid breaks, and notes. Cross-midnight shifts handled correctly. Mark scheduled shifts as worked - with a step to confirm actual hours before finalizing. MULTIPLE JOBS Track unlimited positions (Pro), each with its own workplace, job title, wage, color, and overtime rules. Daily and weekly OT thresholds with a custom multiplier - OT shifts are flagged automatically. ESTIMATED TAXES - EVERYWHERE Every shift and paycheck shows estimated taxes (gross minus take-home). Once finalized with a real paycheck, those numbers reflect what was actually withheld - not a guess. PAYCHECKS & RECONCILIATION Log a paycheck with gross, net, pay period, and optional line items (deductions, bonuses, reimbursements). Clocked does the math - finalizing shifts, allocating real net, and refining your take-home rate using a weighted average of your actual pay history. SHIFT TEMPLATES Build a reusable weekly template per job - days, times, and breaks - and apply it to any week in one tap. Templates stay accurate even if you change your week-start setting. CUSTOM FIELDS Add your own fields to shifts and paychecks - dollars, hours, or whole numbers - each configured to add to, subtract from, or just track alongside your totals. Hours fields support a premium multiplier for things like holiday pay. LOG & ANALYTICS - FILTER BAR A shared filter bar on Log and Analytics lets you switch time range, step through periods, and filter by Worked, Scheduled, Paychecks, or All. Each page remembers its own view independently. IMPORT & EXPORT Export shifts to CSV with a date range selector. Import from a CSV - Clocked auto-detects workplaces and wages and lets you map them to positions. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No sign-up. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. Your data lives in SwiftData on your iPhone and goes nowhere unless you export it yourself. CLOCKED PRO Unlock the Analytics dashboard (earnings over time, OT breakdown, taxes card, projection accuracy, and more), Calendar, weekly take-home goals, unlimited positions, and shift & paycheck reminders. $1.99 / month or $14.99 / year. 7-day free trial.

Know what you made tonight. Not on payday. After a double, nobody wants to do math. So the tips end up on a napkin and payday ends up a surprise. PayJar keeps every shift and every tip in one place, does the math, and tells you when your check comes up short. MADE FOR TIPPED WORK • Cash tips, card tips and your share of the tip pool on every shift • Tip-out to the bar, bussers or kitchen, as an amount or a percentage of sales or tips • Your real hourly rate: wages plus tips, minus tip-out • Your state's minimum wage and tipped wage. If a slow week leaves you under the minimum, you see what your employer has to make up • Best days, cash vs. card and a year-end summary IS YOUR CHECK RIGHT? Type in the gross on your paycheck. PayJar compares it with the hours you logged and says it straight: it matches, or "You were underpaid by $38.40." Wage Check is free. OVERTIME, DONE RIGHT • Weekly overtime after 40 hours, on from the start • Daily overtime and double time for states that have them, like California • An hour already paid as daily overtime isn't counted again for the week • On a tipped wage, overtime is figured on the full minimum wage, not on $2.13 • Night, weekend and holiday differentials, if your job pays them • Every shift shows how its pay was worked out CLOCKING IN SHOULDN'T BE MORE WORK • One tap to start or end a shift, with Undo in case you tap by mistake • Forgot to clock in? Start the shift at the time you really walked in • Breaks, manual or automatic (for example, 30 minutes after 6 hours) • Quick shifts for the ones you work every week • A close that runs past midnight counts for the day it started • Weekly, biweekly, every 4 weeks, twice a month or monthly pay periods YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • No account, no sign-up, no ads • Your hours, pay, tips and notes stay on your iPhone, with backup to your own iCloud • Excel and CSV export, always free • Anonymous usage stats and crash reports help us fix what breaks. They never include amounts, job names or notes, and you can turn them off in Settings PAYJAR PRO: PAY ONCE One-time purchase, no subscription. Unlimited jobs with their own rates, bonuses and deductions, PDF timesheets, charts by job and every future Pro feature. In English, Spanish and Japanese. PayJar estimates your gross pay (before taxes) for your own records. It isn't legal or tax advice.
