Your people log time where they already work

Start a timer on the web, the desktop or the phone, or from the browser extension inside Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Jira, Basecamp, Monday and GitHub. Fill the day or the whole week in a grid. Hourly staff clock in and out with breaks on the phone or a shared kiosk, and an entry made without signal shows as not synced yet until it reaches the timesheet.
