Make your clock-out time clear. OffBuddy is a workday countdown and personal work log. Set your daily duration, monthly salary, and average workdays per month. Start a timer to see your remaining time, planned finish, and an estimate of your workday’s value. Get a reminder at your planned finish and choose when to end your session. START YOUR TIMER AND OPEN FEISHU Choose automatic start on the first app open each workday or start manually. When Feishu Workbench is selected in Settings, OffBuddy opens Feishu automatically when your timer starts. You can also run a named Shortcut or choose not to open another app. Opening Feishu does not clock you in; you complete attendance in Feishu. SEE YOUR ESTIMATED TIME VALUE Estimates use the salary, average workdays, and duration you enter to show an hourly, per-minute, and per-second value. Coins animate into the cat pouch as your timer runs. If you keep working past your planned finish, the estimate decreases at the same hourly rate. Estimates are for personal reference only, not actual wages, bonuses, or overtime pay. Coin sounds can be turned off in Settings. KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR WORKDAYS Review start, planned finish, and actual finish times in your calendar. Reach personal milestones to unlock achievements and new cat animations. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account is required. Work records, salary settings, and achievements are stored on your device. Calendar CSV exports do not include salary. Earnings JSON includes the estimated hourly rate and amounts; review it before sharing. Weather is optional. After you allow location access, OffBuddy uses Apple WeatherKit for local weather. Manage location permission in iOS Settings. OffBuddy is a personal timer and record keeper, not an attendance or payroll system.
