Questions
Is it free?
Yes, everything is free during early access.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the app and add your first job. There's no sign-up and no email to give.
What if I lose my phone?
Your data lives only on your device, so it goes with the phone. Save a backup now and then from More, then Save backup, and keep the file in your email or cloud drive. Restoring it on a new phone brings everything back.
How does it handle overtime?
Set it per job: overtime after a number of hours a day, a week, or both, and the rate (1.5× by default). Daily overtime is counted first, so no hour is paid as overtime twice.
Can my accountant use it?
Export any week, month or year as a spreadsheet (CSV) with hours, pay, tips, mileage and expenses on every shift.
Which currencies does it support?
US, Canadian and Australian dollars, euros, pounds, Mexican pesos, Brazilian reais and Argentine pesos, with miles or kilometres.
