Time clock
A time clock your payroll can trust
Staff clock in five ways: their own phone with a GPS stamp, an iPad kiosk with a PIN or face recognition, an NFC tag on the wall, a Mac menu-bar clock pill at a desk, or any browser. Every punch lands on the same timesheet, ready for payroll. And location is checked at the punch, never through the day: no screenshots, no activity scores, ever.
No credit card required. Free plan for up to 10 people.

01
Clock in from the right place, provably
Enable GPS stamps on punches and draw a geofence around each site: every punch records whether it landed inside the radius, and out-of-radius punches are flagged for review rather than silently accepted. No more guessing whether 07:58 happened in the building or on the bus.
02
Kiosks, tags and a desk clock pill, not just phones
Mount an iPad by the door for PIN or face-recognition clock-in, write an NFC tag staff tap on the way in, or let desk staff punch from a lightweight Mac menu-bar clock pill. Every route lands on the same timesheet.
03
The shift lives on the lock screen
On iPhone, clocking in starts a Live Activity: a live shift timer on the lock screen until clock-out. It starts even when the punch happened on a kiosk, so staff always know the clock is running.
04
Works in the signal dead spots
Basements, loading bays and rural sites lose signal, but the clock does not. Punches made offline are saved on the device with their true time and sync automatically the moment the phone is back online, so nobody loses a minute of pay.
05
Timesheets that build themselves
Punches become timesheet entries automatically, matched to scheduled shifts so gaps and overruns are obvious. Managers approve by exception instead of checking every line.
06
From approved hours to payroll in one export
Approved timesheets export in a payroll-ready format with hours, overtime and absence codes, with integrations for Xero, Staffology, QuickBooks and FreeAgent. Salary, day-rate and hourly pay types are all understood, per site and per project, so what payroll runs on is what actually happened.

Questions about time clock
How does geofenced clock-in work?
You draw a radius around each workplace. Each punch stores whether it was made inside that radius, and out-of-radius punches are flagged on the timesheet for a manager to review. Staff see clearly that location is checked at punch time.
What if some staff do not have smartphones?
Use kiosk mode: any shared iPad or tablet becomes a clock-in point with per-person PINs, or face recognition for staff who opt in. Phone, kiosk, NFC and desktop punches all land on the same timesheet.
Is there a desktop time clock?
Yes. A Mac menu-bar clock pill, a lightweight companion rather than a heavy install, lets desk-based staff clock in and out without opening a browser, alongside the web app, the iOS staff app and the kiosk. A Windows system-tray version is on the way.
What is the lock-screen shift timer?
On iPhone, clocking in starts a Live Activity: a live timer on the lock screen showing the running shift until clock-out. It starts even when the punch was made on a kiosk, via push.
What happens if there is no signal when someone clocks in?
The punch is saved on the phone with the exact time it was made and syncs on its own once signal returns. The recorded time is the moment they tapped, not the moment it synced, so the timesheet stays honest.
Does it track staff all day?
No. Location is checked when someone clocks in or out, not continuously. That distinction matters for UK GDPR proportionality, and it is how the product is built.
How do timesheets get to payroll?
Approved hours export as a payroll-ready file including overtime and absence, and integrations cover Xero, Staffology, QuickBooks and FreeAgent. Salary and day-rate staff are handled alongside hourly.
What stops buddy punching?
GPS stamps and geofence flags tie the punch to the place, kiosk PINs or face recognition tie it to the person, and punch records are timestamped and auditable. Together they remove the easy routes.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The time clock, including NFC tag clock-in, is in the Free plan for up to 10 people. GPS stamps, geofencing, kiosk mode and payroll export come with paid plans, as the pricing page shows.
