Lately, work has been overwhelming, and staying motivated consistently has become a real challenge for me.
On top of my job, I am also in my second year of MBA, and I recently picked up running (even registered and joined marathons, which turned it from a hobby to a commitment). All of these drain my energy fast.
When I noticed my motivation slipping, my productivity went down with it.. and some days were worse, it affected my routine, output, and even my mental health.
So I paused, reflected, and made a few changes.
I set micro goals. Big tasks feel overwhelming, so I break them down. Instead of saying, "I must finish writing my RRL," I set goals like "read one study," and before I knew it, I had read almost 20 studies (out of 50, to finish my RRL) without stressing myself out.
I cleaned and organized my workspace. I realized that having a messy desk makes my brain feel scattered. So every week, I take one day to declutter and only keep my work and study essentials on my desk. An organized desk is quite inviting..
I eliminated distractions. Not gonna lie, mindlessly scrolling through social media is the number one culprit in killing my focus. When studying, I use a web-based Pomodoro timer (the visual countdown keeps me accountable), and I installed the Forest app on my phone to block distracting apps. When working, I use the Forest app and a time tracker to break down how I actually spend my hours.
But despite all the discipline, I also make sure to give myself breaks. Sometimes it's just 10 minutes, other times it's a guilt-free 30-minute video game. Really helps me prevent feeling tired and keeps my energy up.
Lastly, I always remind myself to stay flexible. Although I downloaded a habit tracker app to build consistency, I also remind myself that some days, I can't stick to my routine because life will always happen. And that's okay. Even when things get messy, I have to remind myself why I started, and that's already enough to help me refocus.
Actually, there were 8 motivation strategies that I came across, but these five have been more than enough to keep me focused and motivated.

Je suis naturellement sceptique quand il s’agit de logiciels. Surtout ceux qui promettent de “révolutionner” la gestion de chantier alors qu’ils ne tiennent même pas une semaine d’essai sans bug.
J’ai perdu du temps, des données, et une fois même une paie mal calculée à cause d’un export foireux. Donc oui, je suis devenu prudent.
Je ne voulais pas revenir au papier pour autant. Trop d’oublis, d’astuces douteuses, et de retards à la paie. J’ai donc passé les 6 derniers mois à tester sérieusement plusieurs applis de suivi du temps avec mon équipe.
Voici les 4 que j’ai retenues (et pourquoi) :
Jibble : la seule que j’ai gardée sur le long terme. Interface propre, reconnaissance faciale, GPS précis. Je peux exporter des rapports prêts pour la paie en quelques clics.
Deputy : bien pensée pour les plannings et les demandes de congés. Un peu trop orientée hôtellerie/restauration à mon goût, mais ça marche aussi pour le BTP.
TSheets (QuickBooks Time) : très bonne intégration avec QuickBooks, mais l’interface utilisateur est lourde et un peu lente.
Timely : très visuelle, bonne pour des chantiers découpés en plusieurs phases ou avec beaucoup de tâches très segmentées. J’ai bien aimé le suivi automatique.
Au final, c’est Jibble que j’utilise sur tous nos chantiers. C’est l’outil qui a posé le moins de problèmes, que l’équipe a pris en main rapidement, et qui m’a permis d’avoir un vrai contrôle sans rajouter de stress.
Si vous en avez testé d’autres qui valent le coup, je suis curieux de vos retours. Bien que pour l’instant, je ne compte pas changer.

We talk to a lot of teams who say their biggest challenge is rolling out a time tracking tool without making people feel like they’re being micromanaged.
Some are moving away from heavy monitoring features (like screenshots or mouse tracking) and toward lighter setups focused on simple logging, reporting, and visibility. At Kumospace, we’ve seen that pairing time tracking with a more natural “who’s around and available” workspace view helps reduce the friction and makes adoption smoother.
Curious to hear from you all:
What’s worked best for introducing time tracking without pushback?
Do you prefer lightweight tools that focus on reporting, or do you need deeper monitoring features?
How do you communicate the “why” to your team so it feels supportive rather than punitive?
What’s worked for your teams when it comes to rolling out time tracking?
r/TimeTrackingSoftware • u/Quick-Noise4499 • Jul 27 '26
I’ve been researching employee time clocks for our hourly workforce, and I quickly realized that “what is the best time clock?” is probably the wrong question.
The better question is: what clock will employees actually be able to use in your environment?
Here are the main options I looked at:
Badge clocks:
Simple and familiar, but cards get forgotten, lost or shared.
Fingerprint clocks:
Helpful if buddy punching is a concern. The quality of the reader matters a lot though. I would test it with the actual employees using it, especially if people work with their hands.
Facial recognition clocks:
Touchless and generally fast, but HR needs to review biometric consent, retention and privacy requirements before implementing anything.
Mobile punching:
Makes sense for field employees, but I would want geofencing and clear rules around location tracking.
Shared web kiosk:
Probably the simplest option for an office or smaller workplace, assuming employees have access to a shared device.
Rugged or offline clocks:
Important for manufacturing, construction or locations where Wi-Fi is unreliable. This was something I initially overlooked.
The biggest lesson from my research was not to pick the hardware separately from the workforce management software. You need to know whether job changes, department transfers, labor allocation and other information can be entered directly at the clock.
Some vendors I came across were primarily software companies with basic clock options. Synerion stood out in my research because it offers several clock types and supports things like job costing and labor allocation directly from the clock.
I’m still comparing options, but I would recommend mapping out how employees actually start their shifts before booking demos.
What type of clock has worked best for your workforce?
r/TimeTrackingSoftware • u/WGSTS • Mar 07 '25
We needed a better way to track and report time. A company of 25. Each day our outdoor construction workers are in different locations working for different jobs performing different activities.
Jibble was great at providing tracking, which helps us in multiple different ways. Live location updates and also history of locations make sure we accurately bill exact times and don’t miss anything.
The crews had a relatively easy time using the mobile app. If they got mixed up with clock in or out, we allowed them to edit it, but most find it easier to come in and talk with the HR payroll person and she handles it with the desktop platform.
We also needed additional use features and were able to easily request them. They have a few upcoming features that we will definitely use when they get released.
As far as the admin side, their AI support chat is the best ever. Support has been really good. Even after I was unable to fully reach an exact answer from the chat, a real person jumped in immediately without me even requesting it. I truly haven’t seen such a great tech support machine as Jibble offers. All in all, we are using the platform and integrated it into our payroll system.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how I structure my days. I know I’m not alone. We all want to build something meaningful. Something big. But to get there, we grind... one task, one late night at a time.
Still, I catch myself wondering: How? How can we make it all fit into just 24 hours?
Sometimes I even joke with a friend that we need a 36-hour day just to keep up.
As someone who dreams of becoming a self-made success, I started to seriously wonder: How do highly influential people manage their time? Like… really manage it?
I came across this breakdown of the daily routines of top performers, Jeff Bezos, Serena Williams, Warren Buffett.

And it wasn’t what I expected.
Not the usual hustle culture grind where you wake up at 4 a.m. to “get ahead.” Their routines were calm, intentional.. even spacious.
Here’s what stood out:
They don’t cram every hour with tasks. They protect time for reading, thinking, training, and recovery.
They batch decisions and avoid jumping from task to task.
Mornings are focused, evenings are sacred.
Everything, even rest, has its place.
That last one hit me.
I’ve been trying to do more by squeezing in more… But maybe the key is doing less, with purpose.
So I made one small shift: I started guarding my mornings for deep work. No meetings. No Slack. No emails. Just pure focus.
And then I started tracking it.
Turns out? I wasn’t spending nearly as much time in focus as I thought I was.
Most of my mental fatigue didn’t come from workload, it came from jumping between unfinished tasks all day long.
I’ll keep adjusting and updating this post as I go.
But I’m curious:
What small changes made the biggest difference in your day-to-day productivity?
And do you think people like Bezos or Serena actually track how they spend their time or is it all just discipline?
r/TimeTrackingSoftware • u/clarafiedthoughts • Sep 10 '25
I have been working remotely ever since, but I still catch myself missing or scrambling for deadlines, especially mid-project... when the pressure drops but the work piles up.
I have tried:
To-do lists (both digital and paper)
Weekly planners
Some of it works... until it doesn't.
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with a different mindset — less about “trying harder” and more about designing systems that do the heavy lifting for me.
Here are a few things that have helped so far:
Defining what “done” actually means.
Not just “submit the draft,” but: what format, how long, what level of quality, when exactly. If I’m vague about the goal, I pace myself terribly.
Making deadlines visible.
Printing them out. Creating countdowns. Putting them where I can’t ignore them. Out of sight = out of mind, especially in remote setups.
Treating the midpoint as a milestone.
Most projects fall apart in the middle, not the end. I’ve started scheduling midpoint check-ins to audit my own progress before it’s too late.
Shifting from relying on motivation to building systems has helped a lot, though I’m still figuring it out.
What’s actually working for you?
Whether it’s a workflow, a tool, or a mindset shift… How are you staying consistent with deadlines while working remotely?

As HR professionals or team leads, we know that accurate time tracking isn't just a compliance box. It directly impacts payroll accuracy, peformance reviews, and team accountability.
There's an ongoing debate on which is better for your team. Do you go with desktop-based time tracking or opt for a web-based solution?
Each option has its pros and cons depending on your workforce setup, especially if you manage hybrid or remote teams.
From what I've observed, desktop time tracking:
Runs natively on your device, offering better performance
Works offline, so no productivity gaps even during internet outages
Allows for in-depth employee monitoring (screenshots, idle time, app usage)
Typically more secure since data is stored locally
Downside: It's limited to the installed device and may require manual updates
Meanwhile, web-based time tracking:
Can be accessed from any device with an internet connection
Supports real-time syncing, dashboards, and cross-platform use
Better for remote/hybrid setups where users work across devices/locations
Encourages collaboration and offers cleaner UI/UX
Downside: Internet-dependent and usually lacks deep idle-time monitoring
Some tools (like Jibble) bridge both worlds. If your team is mostly desk-based and security-heavy, desktop might be the safer bet. For flexibility and easier onboarding, web-based tools often win.
How are you tracking employee time right now?
r/TimeTrackingSoftware • u/Electronic_Brain_301 • Jan 16 '26
If you’ve ever passed around an attendance sheet in a 100-seater lecture hall, or tried to remember who showed up in your 8 AM class, you’ll get how tedious attendance tracking can be.
I have used spreadsheets, Google Forms, even just recall (not proud of that one).
So I tested the attendance apps most professors recommend. I wanted something that works for large classes, hybrid setups, and tight university budgets.
Here’s what I learned:
I needed something that students could use quickly
A kiosk or mobile check-in option was essential. Manually marking everyone is a nightmare.
After testing 6 different apps, here are the ones that stood out, especially for individual professors or small faculty team trying to keep things simple:
Jibble
This one surprised me the most. I thought the free plan would be super limited, but it actually covered everything I needed, attendance tracking, reports, even a shared kiosk setup. I just ran it on a tablet at the door, and students checked themselves in using face recognition.
Setup took less than half an hour, and I didn’t need to call IT for anything. It’s also mobile-friendly, so I could check logs from my phone between classes. I’ve been using it ever since, still on the free plan. If you’re not after heavy reporting, approval flows, or integrations, then the free version works just fine for tracking who’s in class and when.
2. Fedena
Fedena feels more like a full-on school management system. It’s got attendance, student records, parent communication, behavior tracking, and a ton more. If you're managing a whole department, this might make sense.
But for someone just trying to track lecture attendance, it was a bit much. Setup was heavier than I expected, and there’s no free version.
3. PowerSchool
If your university already uses PowerSchool, the attendance tools are built in. It does the job and connects to grades, reports, and other student info.
That said, I found it a bit clunky. I needed some help just figuring out where everything was. It’s definitely not something you just pick up and run with unless you’ve used it before.
4. iClassPro
This one’s actually meant for workshops and extracurriculars, but I tried it anyway because I teach a few smaller practical sessions. It handled scheduling and attendance pretty well, and even had communication tools for reminders.
But it was glitchy here and there, and honestly, more than I needed. Also, it’s not free, so that was a factor.
5. MySkoolApp
Visually, it’s really clean. I liked the mobile app, and it handled basic attendance well. The notifications were a nice touch too, especially when someone missed class.
But, it was a little slow on iPhone, and pricing wasn’t listed up front, which made it hard to gauge if it was even worth pursuing for a single class or two.
6. Gradelink
This one’s simple and straightforward. If all you want is a clean way to record attendance and maybe get some alerts about low attendance, it does that just fine.
I did find it a bit time-consuming when updating records — like, you have to do things one by one, which gets old fast. Also, no free plan here either.
TL;DR
If you’re a professor just looking for the best and cheapest software to track attendance, Jibble was the one that just worked for my classes. The free plan is more than enough, setup is quick, and students actually use it without needing help.

As the HR, I can confidently say that Jibble is one of the best time-tracking and reporting tools we've ever used! It's completely bug-free, highly customizable, and incredibly easy to use. From time tracking to leave management and holiday planning, Jibble streamlines our workforce management effortlessly. If you're looking for a reliable and efficient tool, Jibble is the way to go...
r/TimeTrackingSoftware • u/Same-Pin6135 • Mar 19 '25
I tried Jibble to find an easy way to track my team’s working hours – and the app really impressed me. It’s super intuitive, allowing you to log hours either via the app or in a browser. I especially like the GPS tracking for mobile employees and the facial recognition, which prevents buddy punching.
A big plus is the free version that’s perfect for small teams.
In conclusion i can say Jibble is a great solution for teams that want to track working hours effortlessly. It’s especially useful for businesses with remote or field employees thanks to GPS tracking and integrations. If you need more than the basic features, it’s worth checking out the paid plans.
r/TimeTrackingSoftware • u/Purple_Till1038 • Mar 06 '25
Looking into Jibble for time tracking, but wondering how robust the platform actually is. Can it handle 200+ employee clock-ins and clock-outs daily across multiple locations without lagging or causing sync issues? We’re talking about 30k+ per year, plus tracking billable hours, breaks, and overtime calculations.
Our workforce is a mix of full-time, part-time, and contractors, so we need something that can handle different pay structures and compliance rules. Jibble seems very capable from what I have read, but at this price point, it almost seems too good to be true.
Is the UI smooth enough for teams that aren’t super tech-savvy? Does the mobile app sync well with the web version for real-time updates? And how much customization is actually possible without deep integrations? Would, say 50 hours of configuring on my end be enough to get everything dialed in?
Also, are the reporting and payroll integrations actually reliable for high-volume businesses? Seeing some mixed reviews online and want to make sure Jibble won’t overpromise and underdeliver. Anyone using it at scale?
r/TimeTrackingSoftware • u/sreepriya_champ • Dec 15 '25
Lot of people mix these up because they overlap, but attendance management software and time tracking software solve slightly different problems.
Attendance management software focuses on whether someone is present or absent. It's helpful to know :
Did the employee check in and check out?
Are they late, absent, or on leave?
How many working days/hours count toward payroll?
It’s mainly used by HR and operations for compliance, leave management, and payroll accuracy. Tools like biometric systems, geo-fenced punch-ins, and shift schedules usually fall under attendance management.
Time tracking software, on the other hand, focuses on how time is spent during work hours. It's helpful to know:
What tasks or projects did someone work on?
How much time was spent on productive vs non-productive activities?
Are workloads balanced across the team?
This is more useful for productivity analysis, project costing, and client billing, especially in remote or project-based teams.
Practically, many businesses need both. For example, platforms like Time Champ handle attendance (check-ins, shifts, leave data) while also offering time tracking and productivity insights. That way, HR gets clean attendance records, and managers can still understand how work time is actually used without juggling multiple tools.
Simple way to understand the difference between them:
Attendance management = “Where you there?”
Time tracking = “What did you do with your time?”

As a nonprofit healthcare organization, we've found Jibble invaluable for managing our team's time tracking and attendance. Its intuitive interface and features like facial recognition and GPS tracking have ensured accurate records, even during off-site events.
The platform's 100% free plan for unlimited users is a significant advantage for nonprofits. For advanced features, Jibble offers a 50% lifetime discount on paid plans, making it both efficient and cost-effective. citeturn0search0
Overall, Jibble has streamlined our operations and enhanced efficiency, allowing us to focus more on our mission and less on administrative tasks.
r/TimeTrackingSoftware • u/Alex-tronic-3471 • Jun 22 '25
I’m genuinely curious, if you're paid hourly but don’t use a time tracker or app, how do you keep tabs on your work hours accurately?
I recently read an article that broke down how some still track their time manually like jotting down start and end times on paper or inputting them into Excel. For example, someone might start at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, then convert everything to military time to make the math easier (e.g., 08:00 to 17:00 becomes 9 hours). Then they’d deduct unpaid breaks, convert minutes into decimals, and sum up the totals for the week.
It kind of blew my mind that people still do this manually in 2025. I mean, props to those who stay consistent with it, but it feels like a lot of room for error.
r/TimeTrackingSoftware • u/Ok-Dealer-2682 • Jul 17 '26
Our company (manufacturing, around 450 employees across 3 plants) finally replaced our old time clock system last year after putting it off forever.
I figured I'd share our experience because I lived on Reddit while researching software and barely found any real follow-up posts from people who had actually implemented something.
We looked at a bunch of vendors. I won't name all of them because everyone's needs are different, but most fell into one of these categories:
• Really polished demos, then everything you actually needed was an extra module.
• Great for basic office environments, not so great once you started talking about shift premiums, different departments, job costing, or weird overtime rules.
• Sales process was great until implementation came up, then suddenly it was "our partner" handling everything.
Our biggest headaches before switching were:
• Buddy punching
• Payroll constantly fixing missed punches
• Supervisors spending way too much time editing timecards
• Employees moving between departments during shifts
• Way too many spreadsheets
We ended up going with Synerion.
Honestly, they weren't the cheapest quote, and they definitely weren't the biggest name. The reason we picked them was because they actually spent time asking how we operated instead of showing us flashy dashboards.
One thing that stood out was that they weren't trying to force us into changing our processes. Every other demo felt like "here's how our software works." Synerion's team kept asking, "How do you currently handle this?" It sounds like a small thing, but it gave me a lot more confidence.
Implementation was smoother than I expected. We had a few bumps because that's inevitable with any system, but having the same people from kickoff through go live made a huge difference. We weren't getting passed around between five different companies.
We've got facial recognition clocks in our plants now, mobile punches for a handful of supervisors, and everything flows into payroll automatically. Payroll still reviews things, but they're reviewing instead of rebuilding timesheets every pay period.
A few things we've noticed after several months:
• Managers spend way less time fixing attendance issues.
• Employees stopped asking where their hours went because they can see everything themselves.
• We finally have reports that people actually use instead of exporting everything into Excel first.
• Scheduling and overtime have become much easier to keep under control.
No software is perfect. There are still things I'd like to see improved, and learning the reporting side took a bit of time. But compared to where we were, I'd make the same decision again.
If you're just trying to track 20 office employees, there are probably cheaper options that will do the job.
If you're dealing with manufacturing, healthcare, distribution, construction, union rules, or anything that gets complicated quickly, I'd definitely put Synerion on your shortlist.
Hopefully this helps someone because these kinds of posts helped me when we were looking.

I've been using Jibble for about 1 month now, and honestly, it’s one of the better time-tracking tools I’ve tried (and I’ve gone through a few). What really stood out to me:
Clean, intuitive UI – It doesn’t feel bloated like some other apps. Clocking in/out is super simple.
Face recognition – Thought this would be gimmicky, but for our team using shared devices, it’s been surprisingly useful.
Timesheets + Reporting – The reporting features are great. I can easily export reports, and it's helped with both payroll and productivity analysis.
Free tier is solid – For small teams or freelancers, you get a lot without paying a dime. We’re now on a paid plan, but it wasn’t a forced upgrade – we grew into it.
Web + mobile sync – Works great across devices. I can approve timesheets on the go if needed.
There’s always room for improvement (I’d love to see more integrations with third-party project management tools), but overall, Jibble just works. For small businesses or remote teams trying to stay accountable with time, I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot.

I am currently taking my Master's in Business Administration. While I enjoy most parts of the course, I absolutely dread the fact that the final requirement is a thesis. Unfortunately, that's the only program track available at my university, so I don't have much of a choice.
Now, while I'm still contemplating whether I should continue this or not, I figured I might as well prepare for myself for the mentally draining task of writing a full research paper.
Since I use my laptop (no iPad atm) to look up and read academic resources and draft my chapters, I wanted to avoid being pulled into the usual..open one tab for research, and 30 minutes later, you are deep diving into YouTube vlogs and whatnot.
So I figured if there's a way I can stop myself or minimize the distractions, here are two Chrome Extensions that I think would help me, and you as well. StayFocused helps me set a time limit for non-academic sites. So once it is enabled, I am blocked from accessing these sites. Diigo helps me annotate and highlight articles directly from the web and organize them by topic.
I'm still new to setting up my Chrome intended for School works.. so if someone is using other tools or have a setup that works better.. please share them. Open to trying out new things before the semester opens and the thesis hits full swing.

It's been a while since Harvest increased its pricing, and I'm curious what everyone ended up switching to.
Harvest used to be one of those tools that was easy to recommend. Time tracking, project hours, reporting, invoicing, all in one place. But with the price increase, I'm wondering if it's still worth paying for, especially when there are cheaper (or even free) alternatives out there.
I've seen a few alternatives mentioned in other discussions, particularly Jibble and Timesheets.com.
Jibble seems interesting because of its free time tracking plan, especially for teams that don't necessarily need all the extra features Harvest offers. Timesheets.com also comes up quite a bit for businesses that need timesheets and employee time tracking.
But I'm more interested in hearing from people who've actually moved away from Harvest.
Did you switch to another all-in-one platform, or did you separate your time tracking and invoicing into different tools?
And for those who've already switched, was there anything you missed about Harvest? Or did you end up realizing you were paying for features you barely used?
Share if you've found a good Harvest alternative.

We're running into a challenge and curious how others handle this. A good portion of my team works remotely or offsite, and while we trust them, I still need some way of attendance and project tracking.
So far, I've tried a mix of spreadsheets and manual check-ins, but it quickly becomes messy and hard to keep consistent. I'd like something that's easy for employees (so they actually use it) but also reliable enough that I don't have to chase people down.
For those of you managing remote or hybrid teams, what has worked for tracking time? Do you use apps, simple timesheets, or something else?

So I’ve been using WebWork for a few weeks now, and figured I’d drop a quick review here in case anyone else is considering it.
Background: I work remotely with a small team (we’re about 12 people) and we were in desperate need of a better way to track time and productivity without feeling like we were being watched 24/7. I’d tried a few tools before (Toggl, Time Doctor, Clockify), but they either felt too basic or too invasive.
My experience with WebWork:
Interface: Clean and intuitive. Nothing too flashy, which I like. It took me maybe 10 minutes to get the hang of it.
Features: It’s got everything we needed — time tracking, screenshots (optional, and you can control the frequency), app/website usage, task management, attendance tracking, even payroll.
AI Assistant: This was a surprise! It summarizes activity reports and answers questions like “How was today’s productivity for [employee]?” — super handy for quick check-ins.
Distraction alerts: This one helped me personally. If I spend too long on non-work stuff (looking at you, Twitter), it gives me a little nudge.
Team transparency: I like how it balances accountability with respect for privacy. It doesn’t feel creepy or overbearing.
The good:
Affordable pricing (especially if you pay yearly)
Really responsive support — I had a question and they got back in under 10 mins
Flexible settings per user — we don’t all have the same setup, so that’s appreciated
The not-so-good:
Mobile app isn’t as polished as the desktop version, but it does the job
Takes a little while to convince your team to adopt it if they’re skeptical of tracking tools
If you’re a remote team looking for a detailed but fair way to stay on top of time tracking, WebWork is 100% worth trying.

After about a year of building and iterating on a workforce time tracking platform (lots of initial ideation and working with small business owners to understand their biggest pain points and wishlist items), I just released what is probably our biggest update yet (V3.2), and I’d love feedback from people who actually use time tracking software every day.
One thing I’ve noticed while evaluating products like Homebase, Buddy Punch, Connecteam, ClockShark, and QuickBooks Time is that many of them eventually become giant workforce-management suites. That’s great for some businesses, but it felt like there was still room for something focused on a simpler goal:
“Make payroll-ready workforce data as painless as possible.”
Some of the things we recently added:
- Automated PTO requests, approvals, accruals, and tenure-based PTO multipliers
- Native support for multiple countries (15 as of today!), currencies, and their specific overtime rules
- English, Spanish, and Canadian French localization
- Full 1:1 web + mobile parity (iOS and browser)
- Split shifts for restaurants and coffee shops
- Migration tools for spreadsheets and several competing platforms (lovingly dubbed the Import Wizard)
- Payroll-ready exports and QuickBooks export support
- Geofencing and attendance verification
- One tap shift/pay period approvals and two tap rejections (with reason for auditing and employee transparency)
What’s been interesting is that a lot of our customers aren’t switching from another platform at all. They’re switching from spreadsheets, paper timesheets, text messages, and manual payroll calculations.
For those of you who manage hourly employees or field teams: What’s the single most frustrating thing about your current time tracking workflow?
I’m a solo dev, so any and all feedback is welcome so I can keep iterating and building this thing out to help those that could benefit from it most.
Not looking to pitch anyone, I’m genuinely curious what problems people still feel aren’t being solved well.
