Time clock

A time clock your payroll can trust

Staff clock in up to five ways, depending on your package: their own phone with a GPS stamp, a tablet kiosk with a PIN or face recognition, an NFC tag on the wall, the Mac desktop app 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 credit card required. Free plan for up to 10 people.

A tablet by the door used as a clock-in kiosk: one member of staff types their PIN and is clocked in, then the next looks at the camera, the face guide turns green with a tick, and their name is shown as clocked in.

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.

A phone clocking in: the member of staff taps Clock in, a map pin drops inside the circle drawn round the cafe, the punch is recorded as inside the site radius, and the app confirms clocked in at 07:58.

02

Kiosks, tags and a desktop app, not just phones

Mount a tablet by the door for PIN clock-in on every plan, or add face recognition from the Pro plan, write an NFC tag staff tap on the way in, or let desk staff punch from the lightweight Mac desktop app. Every route lands on the same timesheet.

A member of staff holds their phone to an NFC tag on the wall by the staff entrance, the tag is read, and the phone confirms clocked in at 07:58.

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.

Works in the signal dead spots

Basements, loading bays and rural sites lose signal, but the clock does not. In the staff app, punches made offline are saved on the phone with their true time and sync automatically the moment it 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.

A week's timesheet filling itself in: each day's clock-in and clock-out land beside the shift they match, the hours add up to a weekly total, and the one day that ran over is flagged for a manager to look at.

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, which is on every plan including Free: any shared tablet becomes a clock-in point with per-person PINs, and from the Pro plan that same tablet can be a face-recognition terminal for staff who opt in. Phone, kiosk, NFC and desktop punches all land on the same timesheet.

Is there a desktop time clock?

Yes. The Mac desktop app, 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 staff app on iPhone and Android, 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?

In the staff app, 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. We record a clock-in and a clock-out, and check location at those two moments only. Staff are not tracked in between, and that 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 and the shared kiosk are in the Free plan for up to 10 people. GPS stamps start at Starter, tags and geofencing come with Growth, and face recognition and the payroll links come with Pro, as the pricing page shows.
