Timers on desktop, mobile and browser

Time is tracked against projects and tasks from the desktop app, the mobile app or a Chrome extension, with idle time detection, a Pomodoro timer, offline tracking and manual entries on the web.

Screenshots and activity tracking

Captures screenshots, activity levels and the apps and URLs used while the timer runs. Starter takes 1 screenshot an hour, Elite 18 and Power 60, and a live feed shows current screens.

Timesheets and attendance

Daily, weekly, monthly and custom timesheets can be approved or denied before payroll. Clock in and out times build an attendance report, alongside time off and holidays.

Projects, tasks and budgets

Managers create projects, assign tasks and roles, and track time and budget per project. Starter is limited to 3 projects; tasks are unlimited on every plan.

Payroll and client invoices

Pay rates and bill rates are set per member, payroll is calculated from approved hours, and tracked work is invoiced to clients. Billable and non-billable hours are kept apart.

Reports and dashboard

Time and activity reports export as PDF or Excel, and a weekly summary is emailed to admins. Custom reports are included from Elite and are not part of Starter.

Clockify

Timer, timesheet and calendar

Start and stop a timer, enter hours by hand, fill in a weekly timesheet or block out time on a calendar that shows Outlook and Google Calendar events.

Auto tracker

Records the time you spend in apps, websites and documents on a timeline that only you can see, and lets you turn those records into time entries.

Reports and rates

Summary, detailed and weekly reports break down tracked time. Billable rates start on Basic, and labor cost and profit reports need Pro.

Kiosk

From Basic, staff can clock in with a PIN on a shared device. QR code sign-in is on Standard and photo capture on Pro. Kiosk-only seats start at $0.79 a month, billed annually.

Invoicing, time off and approvals

Standard adds invoices built from tracked time and expenses, time-off policies and balances, and manager approval and locking of timesheets.
