“Time” (formerly Infinitime Atlas Mobile App) is the employee mobile application that is used with Mainspring Time software (formerly Infinitime Online). Mainspring Time is a robust workforce management system that allows businesses to proactively track their employee workforce from the office, the field, and mobile workers. Mainspring Time has the ability to track accruals, schedules, time sheets, time exceptions, and much more. Our application does geolocation for geofencing and for punching when entering geofenced areas. This is done with continued use of GPS location in the background. We strive to use as little battery as possible for this feature and disable the constant geolocation when the geofencing feature is disabled in the server. Please be aware that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

FleetSharp holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FleetSharp has 59 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of FleetSharp's written reviews are positive against 8% of Time by Mainspring's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FleetSharp ships an update every 5 weeks, Time by Mainspring every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
