A Clock In, Clock Out App That Just Works
If all you want is a one-tap clock in / clock out app on your iPhone — no logins, no team setup, no monthly fee — Timely is built for you.
One tap to clock in, one tap to clock out
- Open Timely. Tap Start Shift. You're clocked in.
- Step away on a break? Tap Break. The clock pauses or keeps running depending on whether the break is paid.
- Done? Tap End Shift. Your hours, breaks, and earnings are logged.
- Forgot to clock in? Add or edit shifts manually with custom start and end times.
What gets tracked, automatically
- Total hours worked, broken down by paid time and break time
- Earnings based on your hourly rate (and overtime if applicable)
- Shift notes — add a job site, customer, or memo to any shift
- Weekly and monthly totals with CSV export for your records
Better than a punch clock or paper timesheet
- Always with you — no need to be near a wall-mounted clock or remember a punch card.
- Tamper-proof history — every clock in and out is timestamped with location (optional).
- Disputes settled — if your paycheck looks short, you have an exact log to compare.
- Exportable — send your hours to your manager, CPA, or your own records anytime.
Frequently asked questions
Is the clock in / clock out feature really free?
Yes. The core clock in / clock out and shift logging is free forever. There are no shift caps or paywalls on basic time tracking.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can use Timely's clock in / clock out without an account. Sign up only if you want to back up shifts to the cloud or sync across devices.
Can I edit a shift if I forget to clock out?
Yes. Tap any shift to edit its start time, end time, breaks, and notes.
Does it use GPS?
GPS is optional. You can attach a location to a shift, but Timely never tracks you in the background without permission.
Does it work for two jobs?
Yes. Add as many jobs as you want, each with its own hourly rate, and switch between them when you clock in.
