A Free Shift Tracker for iPhone
Most 'free' shift trackers cap shifts, lock features, or push you to a subscription on day one. Timely's core shift tracking is free forever — unlimited shifts, hours, and earnings tracking, no asterisk.
What's free, forever
- Unlimited shifts, no monthly cap
- Clock in / clock out, breaks, and manual edits
- Hourly rate and live earnings calculation
- Daily, weekly, and monthly totals
- CSV export of your hours
- Multiple jobs (up to 3 on free)
What's in the optional Elite plan
- Unlimited jobs and clients
- Tip tracking and tip-out math
- Mileage tracking for gig workers
- Advanced analytics — best shift, best day, hourly trends
- Cloud backup and multi-device sync
- PDF timesheet exports
Why it's actually free
- We make money from Elite, not from holding your hours hostage.
- No ads. We don't sell your data. Ever.
- If you only need basic tracking, you'll never hit a paywall.
- If Elite ever feels worth it, it's a few dollars — not the $20/month some competitors charge.
