What is a clock-in app?
An attendance app records when people start, stop, and take a break — accurately, in the moment
A clock-in app (also called an attendance app or employee time clock app) is software that lets employees record their start time, end time, and breaks on the device they already have — instead of writing it on a paper sheet, a spreadsheet, or a wall-mounted punch clock.
The point isn't the app itself. It's that the record is captured the moment work starts, attached to the right person and the right location, with an audit trail managers can trust at the end of the period.
- Records clock-in, clock-out, and breaks at the moment they happen
- Works on mobile, web, and shared tablets — no hardware required
- Stamps each clock-in with time and (optionally) location
- Surfaces a live attendance view for managers and ops
- Exports approved hours to payroll without manual reformatting
How clock-in works
Clock in, get reviewed, get paid — three steps, one record
EasyHours follows the same loop whether your team clocks in from a phone, the web, or a shared tablet. The record is the same. The export is the same. The paper trail is the same.
Employees clock in from any device
Open the app on a phone, log in on the web, or tap a PIN on the shared tablet at the door. The clock-in is stamped with the time and (where you've enabled it) the location, so there's no ambiguity about when or where the shift started.
Managers see the live attendance view
One screen shows everyone who's clocked in right now, who's on break, who hasn't started yet, and where each clock-in happened on a map. Missed clock-ins and edits are surfaced automatically — no chasing, no end-of-week reconstruction.
Approved hours export to payroll
Approve corrections in a few clicks. Export approved hours as CSV or Excel summarized by employee, period, site, or team. Drop it into payroll, accounting, or the working-time record you keep on file.
Run EasyHours with your real team for 30 days. No commitment, cancel anytime.

Mobile, web, and shared tablet — same data, every device
Not every team carries a work phone, and not every team works from a desk. EasyHours runs on the device that matches the work — and writes to the same record either way.

Mobile — for employees on the move
The mobile app is what employees use day-to-day. Open it, tap clock in, get on with the shift. GPS-stamps the clock-in (optional, off by default), keeps an obvious 'on the clock' indicator running, and lets employees fix a missed entry without messaging a manager.
Web — for managers and admins
The web app is the manager's view. Live attendance, exceptions queue, edits with audit trail, approvals in a few clicks. Built for the manager who has five minutes between meetings, not for a full-time HR analyst.

onKiosk — for shared spaces
Turn a single tablet at the front desk, on the shop floor, or in the job-site trailer into a shared clock-in for the whole crew. Employees log in with a PIN, see who else is on the clock, and get on with the day. Same record, same approvals — no per-person device required.
Two views you'll use every day
See who's on the clock — and where — without sending a single message
Most attendance apps stop at the timesheet. EasyHours adds a live attendance view and a live map, so managers and ops leads can answer 'who's working right now?' in one glance.

GPS-stamped clock-ins on a live map
Set up the sites your team works from — offices, customer locations, job sites — and EasyHours plots each clock-in on a map. Optional geofencing lets you require employees to be on-site before they can clock in, so the recorded location matches where the work actually happened.
Live attendance at a glance
One screen shows everyone currently on the clock, who's on break, and who hasn't started yet — with how long they've been working. The fastest answer to 'who's available right now?' for ops, dispatch, or front-of-house.

Kiosk mode
Turn one tablet into the team clock
Not every team carries a work phone — and you shouldn't need to buy one for everyone just to capture hours. Kiosk mode lets a single tablet at the front desk, on the shop floor, or in the job-site trailer act as a shared clock-in for the whole crew.

One tablet, the whole team
Employees clock in with a PIN, see who else is on the clock, and get on with the day. Useful in retail, hospitality, construction trailers, warehouses, and anywhere personal phones aren't the right fit. The tablet writes to the same record the mobile app and web admin use — so kiosk shifts show up in approvals, exports, and the live attendance view alongside everything else.
What the app does
Built for clocking in, not for watching people
Everything below ships on the plan you sign up for — mobile, web, and shared kiosk on every plan. No surveillance features, no continuous tracking, no surprise add-on tiers.
Live attendance dashboard
See who's clocked in right now, who's on break, and who hasn't started yet — without sending a single message.
GPS-stamped clock-ins on a map
Each clock-in places a point on a map so managers can see where the work happened. Useful for field teams and multi-site operations.
Optional geofencing
Require employees to be on-site before they can clock in. Off by default; enable per site or per team where it actually matters.
Shared kiosk mode
Turn a tablet into a shared clock-in terminal with PIN sign-in. The whole crew clocks in on one device, no per-person phone required.
Smart reminders
Push reminders fire at the start and end of expected shifts so a forgotten clock-in doesn't quietly become a missing one.
Auto clock-out and break tracking
If someone forgets to stop the timer, EasyHours closes the entry instead of letting it run all night. Breaks are tracked separately so paid hours stay clean.
Edits with a full audit trail
Employees can submit corrections; managers can fix or approve. Every edit is timestamped and attributable. Nothing is silently overwritten.
Payroll-ready exports
CSV and Excel exports summarized by employee, period, site, or team — the formats payroll teams already use.
Problems a clock-in app solves
What goes wrong without one — and how EasyHours fixes it
Most teams arrive here from a paper sign-in sheet, a shared spreadsheet, or a wall-mounted punch clock that broke last winter. Here's what changes.
Employees forget to clock in or out
Paper sheets and apps without reminders rely on memory. Hours get reconstructed at the end of the week from guesswork.
How EasyHours solves it
- Push reminders at the start and end of expected shifts
- Auto clock-out so a forgotten timer doesn't run all night
- Easy correction flow — employees fix it themselves, manager approves
You can't see who's actually working right now
On a paper sheet or a wall clock, the record only exists at the end of the day. Ops and dispatch are flying blind.
How EasyHours solves it
- Live attendance dashboard — one screen, everyone on the clock right now
- GPS-stamped clock-ins plotted on a live map
- Break and overtime visibility, in real time
Buddy punching and 'I think I started at 8'
Paper sign-in is trivial to game. Spreadsheets are filled in from memory. Disputes at payroll are common and unwinnable.
How EasyHours solves it
- GPS-stamped clock-ins prove where the shift started
- Optional geofencing requires employees to be on-site to clock in
- Audit trail — every edit timestamped and attributable
Payroll takes hours of manual rework
Spreadsheets need reformatting every period. Paper sheets need transcribing. Mistakes are expensive and demoralizing.
How EasyHours solves it
- One-click CSV or Excel export, payroll-ready out of the box
- Summaries by employee, period, site, or team
- Approved hours flow directly into the export — no separate reconciliation
The wall-mounted punch clock keeps breaking
Hardware clocks fail. Cards get lost. Replacement units are expensive. Employees can't clock in remotely or off-site.
How EasyHours solves it
- Use the phones and tablets you already own
- Shared kiosk mode if you want a fixed clock-in point
- Field workers clock in from anywhere — same record, same approvals
Who clocks in with EasyHours
Built for shift, frontline, and field teams
- Retail, hospitality, and front-of-house teams clocking in on a shared tablet
- Construction, trades, and field service teams across multiple job sites
- Cleaning, security, and facility teams clocking in on arrival
- Healthcare and care-home staff with shift patterns and break rules
- Warehouses, manufacturing, and logistics floors with mixed crews
- Multi-site offices and franchises that need attendance visibility across locations
Attendance vs time tracking vs the alternatives
How a clock-in app compares to the way you do it now
If you arrived here looking for an attendance app, you're probably replacing a paper sheet, a spreadsheet, or a hardware punch clock. Here's how the four approaches differ.
| What you care about | Paper / spreadsheet / hardware clock | EasyHours clock-in app |
|---|---|---|
| Where employees clock in | At a desk, after the fact, from memory — or at a wall clock that doesn't work remotely | On the phone in their pocket, in the moment — or on a shared tablet |
| Works without a fixed location | No — paper and hardware are tied to one place | Yes — iOS, Android, web, shared tablets |
| Captures location | Whatever someone writes down, if anything | GPS-stamped clock-ins, optional geofencing |
| See who's working right now | Walk the floor or message the team | One screen with live attendance and a map |
| Stops buddy punching | No — paper sign-in is trivial to game | GPS, geofencing, and audit trail make it visible |
| Corrections and edits | Cross-outs and overwrites with no history | Tracked with timestamp, author, and reason |
| Manager review | Manual chase at end of period | Exceptions surface automatically; approvals in clicks |
| Export to payroll | Reformat by hand, every period | One-click CSV or Excel in payroll-ready shape |
| Hardware to maintain | Punch clock + replacement cards + service contract | None — uses devices you already own |
| Setup time | Zero (paper) — or weeks (hardware install) | Minutes — invite the team, set work hours, done |

Simple math
EasyHours pays for itself — in the first week
Hours that don't get logged don't get billed. EasyHours captures every one — here's what a typical company stands to recover in unbilled hours.
What 15 minutes a day really costs.
It adds up faster than you'd think.
The math
10 employees
× 15 min of untracked time per person, per day
× 20 working days per month
= 50 hours lost every month
× €60 average billing rate
Adds up to
€3,000
in lost billable revenue, every month
EasyHours starts at €5.20 per user per month. A single recovered hour per employee pays for a full year of EasyHours.
Billing accuracy
10–25%
of billable hours never reach an invoice
Invoices that match reality
Manual entries consistently under-report hours. People forget small tasks, miss quick jobs between sites, or skip logging entirely. Automatic clock-in captures every minute — so what you bill reflects what was actually worked.
Timesheet admin
2–3 hrs
lost to paperwork, every week
Less paperwork, more billable time
Managers waste 2–3 hours every week chasing paper timesheets, fixing mistakes, and compiling payroll by hand. With EasyHours, approval and export takes minutes — not mornings.

FAQ
Common questions about clock-in and attendance apps
What teams usually want to know before they roll out an attendance app to their crew.
What's the difference between an attendance app and a time tracking app?+
An attendance app records when someone starts, stops, and takes a break — the basic 'who's working, when' record you need for shift teams and payroll. A time tracking app does the same but adds project, customer, or task tracking on top, for teams that bill by the hour or report time per project. EasyHours is both: shift teams use it as a clock-in app, and project teams use the same record for billable hours.
How do you stop buddy punching with a clock-in app?+
Three ways. GPS-stamped clock-ins place each entry on a map, so a clock-in from the wrong location is obvious. Optional geofencing lets you require employees to be on-site before they can clock in. And every edit is timestamped and attributable in the audit trail, so retroactive changes can't be made silently. None of this requires a hardware clock or biometric scanner.
Can employees clock in without internet?+
Yes. The mobile app captures the clock-in locally if there's no signal, and syncs as soon as the device reconnects. The recorded time is the time the employee actually clocked in — not the time the device synced.
Can I use one tablet as a shared clock-in for the whole team?+
Yes. Kiosk mode turns a single tablet into a shared clock-in terminal where employees sign in with a PIN. Useful in retail floors, job-site trailers, factories, and front desks where employees don't carry a work phone. The tablet writes to the same record the mobile app and web admin use.
Does the app track location all day?+
No. EasyHours only records location at the moment of clock-in and clock-out — not while the timer is running. Managers see a GPS-stamped point on a map for each clock-in. Geofencing is opt-in per site, and employees can see exactly what is recorded about them.
What happens when someone forgets to clock out?+
Two things. Smart reminders fire at the end of expected shifts, so the missed clock-out gets caught early. If it still slips through, auto clock-out closes the entry rather than letting the timer run all night. The employee can submit a correction with the right end time, and a manager approves it in one click — with the change tracked in the audit trail.
Does the app integrate with payroll?+
Approved hours export as CSV or Excel summarized by employee, period, site, or team — the formats most payroll providers accept directly. We're adding direct integrations over time; in the meantime, the export shape is built to slot into existing payroll workflows without manual reformatting.
Is this a replacement for a hardware punch clock?+
Yes. Most teams switching from a wall-mounted punch clock keep a single tablet at the door in kiosk mode, and let employees with phones clock in directly from the app. Same record, same approvals, no hardware to maintain — and field workers can clock in from job sites without coming back to base.
Is there a free clock-in app?+
EasyHours offers a free 30-day trial of the full app — no commitment, cancel anytime. After the trial, paid plans are per-employee with mobile, web, and shared kiosk included on every plan; see the pricing page for current rates in your region. We don't run a permanent free tier because the product is built for teams, not solo users.
How long does it take to roll out?+
Most teams are clocking in on day one. Setup is invite the team, set work hours, decide whether to enable GPS or geofencing, hand out the app or set up the kiosk tablet. No training course, no implementation project. Roll out a single team first, run a real period including payroll export, then expand once you've seen it work on real numbers.
