Punch is a simple, fast time clock built for the job site. It replaces paper timesheets with one big button. Punch is invite-only: your boss adds your email to the crew list, and you're in. Sign in with Google or Apple โ€” no passwords to remember. If you're not on a crew yet, the app shows exactly which email to give your boss. WHAT IT DOES โ€ข Clock in and out Tap one big button to start and end your shift. Your time is recorded to the minute, automatically โ€” no math and no paperwork at the end of the week. โ€ข On-site location check When you clock in or out, Punch records your location at that moment to confirm you were at the job site. Location is captured only when you punch โ€” never in the background. โ€ข Honest about connection problems No signal at the site? Punch tells you plainly when it can't reach the clock, and never fakes your status. BUILT FOR THE FIELD โ€ข Large, thumb-friendly buttons that work with gloves on โ€ข One-tap sign-in that remembers you between shifts โ€ข Simple enough to use right on the first try PRIVACY Your information is used only to verify work time and run payroll.
