Read full description

8hrs is an hours tracker and time clock for your workday: clock in with one tap, take breaks, and see your timesheet, overtime and estimated paycheck. It works for hourly jobs and shifts, freelance projects and personal time tracking. YOUR WORKDAY Start and stop a timer in one tap. Take an unpaid break and continue where you left off. Adjust a start time or add time you forgot to track. Your weekly timesheet shows entries and gaps you can fill. HOURS AND PAY Choose weekly, biweekly, twice-monthly or monthly pay periods. Set a rate for each job and see estimated earnings before taxes and deductions. Overtime calculations use selectable US rules: weekly 40 hours, daily 8 hours, or California rules. Choose the rule in Settings; it does not change with your language or location. CLIENTS AND PROJECTS Organize time by project, client and tag. Mark billable time, set rates, round time for invoices and share PDF timesheets. Explore reports by week, month, year or pay period. QUICK ENTRY Type a task and duration, for example "Invoices 45m". Use @Project and #tags. Date and time phrases such as "yesterday" and "since 9:15" currently use English syntax. ALWAYS WITH YOU Start from widgets, the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Control Center, the Action button, Siri or Shortcuts. Optional reminders help you start your day and notice a timer left running. BRING YOUR HISTORY Import a detailed CSV export from Toggl Track, Clockify or Harvest. Projects, clients, tags and rates come along. Duplicate entries are skipped. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads and no tracking. Your time stays on your devices and syncs through your own iCloud. 8HRS PRO Timers, timesheets, widgets, iCloud sync, CSV import and CSV export are free with unlimited history.

Timecard

Read full description

Timecard is a punch clock for people who get paid by the hour and want to know where they stand without doing the math. Tap Start when you begin and Stop when you finish. Timecard keeps the running time, totals the day, and shows your hours and pay for the current pay period at a glance. PUNCH IN AND OUT • One tap to start, one to stop • Times snap to a 5-minute grid: starts round back, stops round forward (adjustable, or turn it off) • Forgot to punch in? Start from an earlier time, or fix the start while running • Tap any entry to nudge it by one step or edit it fully, and add past days by hand HOURS AND PAY • Set your hourly rate and currency • Monthly, weekly or two-week pay periods, starting on the day you choose • Pay Periods shows every period with hours and amount • Export a pay period or any date range as CSV, one line per day SIRI • "Punch in with Timecard", "Punch out with Timecard" • "Punch in at a time with Timecard" when you forgot and are already on the road • "Am I punched in with Timecard" APPLE WATCH • Start, Stop, and edit the start or stop time with the Digital Crown • A complication that shows today's hours as a ring and turns green while you are punched in YOUR DATA • Entries sync between your iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac through your own iCloud account • No accounts, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics. The developer never sees your data Optional: Settings → Integrations can connect Timecard to an Acroprint timeQplus time-and-attendance system at your workplace, so a pay period's punches are written to your time card there. It needs a small service installed by your employer next to timeQplus, and it is off by default.
