Work Hours Tracker

Read full description

Track your work hours without the clutter. Hourly is a simple work hours tracker for freelancers, contractors, tradespeople, and anyone who needs an accurate record of their time. Log a workday in seconds, keep your totals clear, and export a clean timesheet whenever you need it. START AND FINISH WORK Tap to start when you begin and to finish when you are done. Hourly keeps the actual start and finish times so you can review and correct them later. QUICK PRESETS Save common work durations such as 4h, 8h, or 10h. With quick saving enabled, a preset logs immediately and gives you a short window to undo it. Keep review mode enabled when you want to check the details first. CLEAR TIME CALCULATIONS See the difference between raw time, break deductions, rounding, and final logged hours. Your totals and exports use the final duration shown in the review. CATCH UP EASILY Forgot to log a few days? Select the exact dates you want to fill, choose a preset or a previous workday, review the result, and confirm once. Empty days are never treated as workdays automatically. REPEAT A WORKDAY Copy a previous workday to another date, including duration, client, notes, rounding, and break settings. Existing entries are protected and are never silently overwritten. SMART REMINDERS Choose the days and time that suit your routine. Reminders can skip dates you have already logged, and you can snooze a reminder or mark a day off. TIMESHEETS AND EXPORT Copy a clean work log, export CSV data, build a timesheet to share, or create a local backup for safekeeping. Your data stays on your device unless you explicitly export it. ORGANIZE BY CLIENT AND JOB SITE Assign entries to clients so your hours line up with who you worked for. Save your regular workplaces and keep each job separate. OPTIONAL WORKPLACE DETECTION Hourly can detect when you are near a saved workplace and record local arrival or departure observations. These observations are suggestions, not logged hours. Location monitoring is best effort and may be delayed or imprecise. Hourly does not continuously track your location, start work, or stop work without your explicit settings and confirmation. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. No cloud account is required. No telemetry is used. Your work records stay local and under your control. Important: export a backup before changing phones or deleting the app. Hourly is designed to help you keep an accurate work record with as little effort as possible, without payroll, invoicing, or unnecessary business features. gethourly.app/terms/ gethourly.app/privacy/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Time Clock

Features
Read full description

AutoTimecard is an automatic time clock and work hours tracker for your iPhone. Register the places you work, and your clock-in and clock-out times are recorded as you arrive and leave: no punching in, no daily taps. Your timesheet builds itself, ready to export as PDF, Excel or CSV. HOW IT WORKS • Add a workplace by searching an address or dropping a pin, and choose its radius. • When your iPhone's location (GPS and network) shows it entering or leaving that area, the time is saved as your clock-in or clock-out. iOS reports it even when the app is closed. • Start or end a shift by hand whenever you want. No account and no login. WHO IT IS FOR • Part-time and shift workers who want their own record of hours worked. • People with more than one job or a side gig who want every clock-in and clock-out in one place. • Anyone who sends a monthly timesheet or attendance record to an employer, payroll or an accountant. • Small teams whose admin wants to see who is clocked in, without a time clock on the wall. BUILT FOR REAL WORKDAYS • Nothing to confirm each day. Records are saved as they happen. • When the phone could not tell, for example a missed exit, the record is marked Estimated or Unknown. It is never silently filled in, and never turned into an absence or a break. • Add, correct or delete any record by hand. Your corrections are never overwritten by automatic estimates. • Several shifts a day, night shifts kept as one record, more than one workplace or employer. HOURS AND REPORTS • A monthly report with total work hours, days worked and a daily chart, with a cutoff date per employer. • Export PDF, Excel (XLSX), CSV or plain text and send your timesheet to your employer, payroll or accountant. • Optional pay estimate from your own hourly rate, with night and weekend rates. It is an estimate, not payroll and not legal advice. TEAMS • Create a team, invite members with a QR code or link, and share workplace settings. • Admins see who is in right now, each member's clock-in and clock-out times, late arrivals and overtime, and a monthly team report. • Team data is encrypted with the team passphrase; the server cannot read it. Members' locations are never shared. PRIVACY • Location is used only to detect arrivals and departures at the workplaces you turn on. Your route between places is not recorded, and your location never leaves your phone. • Turn automatic recording off for any workplace, or entirely, at any time. • No ads and no cross-app tracking. Usage data and crash reports (never your location, workplaces, names or record times) help improve the app; turn them off in Settings. • Back up and restore your records as a file. Available in 34 languages. Automatic detection relies on iOS and can be delayed or missed. It shows that your phone was at a place, not what you were doing there. SUBSCRIPTION Automatic recording is included in an auto-renewing yearly subscription (personal plan, or a team plan the team admin buys for the whole team). The first five days with an automatic clock-in and clock-out are free, with no subscription. Creating a record by hand needs a plan; viewing, correcting and exporting your records never need a subscription, and your records stay yours if a subscription ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews each year unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.sense-ai.world/privacy-policy
