Your hours, your money, your record. Ora is the calm, correct shift tracker made for the people who actually work the shifts. Log any shift in seconds (nights, overtime, tips, two jobs, even two currencies) and always know exactly what you've earned. WHY ORA • Overnight shifts, done right. A 22:00–06:00 shift is 8 hours: through midnight, through daylight saving, every time. • Real pay math. Overtime, night, weekend and holiday multipliers; paid and unpaid breaks; tips, bonuses and deductions; a fair "higher rate wins" rule. • Paid abroad, thinking in your own money? Ora converts your earnings at the real daily ECB rate. • A timesheet your boss can't argue with: a clean PDF, plus CSV for your own spreadsheet. • See it at a glance: home and lock screen widgets, and a Live Activity that watches your shift earn. ONE PRICE, ONCE No subscription. No ads. No account. Ora is free to log every shift, forever. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited jobs, all the pay rules, currency conversion, exports, widgets and iCloud sync, and it's shared with your family. YOURS, PRIVATE Your data lives on your device and in your own iCloud. No tracking, no sign-up, nothing to leak. Privacy label: Data Not Collected. And your data is always exportable: a free JSON backup, forever. Ora records what you worked. It doesn't give legal or tax advice. The numbers are yours, to check against your payslip.
