In, out, done. Hours for small teams.

Your people log when they come and go in seconds. You get a clean weekly roll-up without chasing anyone.

Free during early access. Runs in any phone or computer browser, so there's nothing to install.

How it works

Three steps. The first one is the longest, and it's about five minutes.

  1. Set up your team in five minutes.

    Three questions: what to call your team, who can join, and how much detail to track. Every answer starts filled in with a sensible default, and you can change any of them later.

  2. Share one link or QR code.

    Drop it in the group chat, print the poster for the break room, or put the QR on the screen at a staff meeting. People join with their email, and you decide whether to approve each one.

  3. Hours roll up every week.

    Everyone logs their own time. You get the whole team's week in one view, with the gaps already flagged.

Logging time shouldn't be a chore. Here, it's about ten seconds.

  • Type 830, not 8:30 AM. Hours reads 830, 8.30, or 8:30a, and shows you what it understood before you save.
  • Or tap I'm in when you arrive and I'm out when you leave.
  • Same as yesterday? One tap copies it.
  • Time off, sick days, and holidays go in as a full day, a half day, or a number of hours.
  • Travel time and travel days, with the right time zone when you're on the road.
  • Your own week, totals, a daily chart, and your history. Nobody else's.
  • No app to install. It runs in the phone's browser and can sit on the home screen.

See who's done, who isn't, and nudge the rest in one tap.

  • The team's week at a glance: hours per person per day, totals, and who has marked the week complete.
  • Missing days flagged, based on each person's usual days.
  • One tap sends a reminder from Chadwick, the team's weekly scorekeeper. Once a day at most, and never a guilt trip.
  • CSV exports of the week, or of every entry in a date range, ready for a spreadsheet.
  • Approve each person who joins, or let anyone with your link straight in. You can also limit joining to your work email addresses.
  • Fix a missed clock-out yourself. Every change is recorded and shown to the person it affects.Soon
  • Your team's name on everything, and your own logo and colors.Soon

A log, not a leash.

Hours records when people say they came and went. That's the whole job, on purpose.

Not payroll.

No pay rates, no overtime math, no approvals, no pay periods. If you need a timecard of record, you need payroll software, and Hours will happily export to it.

Not surveillance.

No GPS, no geofencing, no screenshots, no activity tracking. A trip's destination is whatever the person types.

Not HR software.

No time-off balances, leave requests, shift schedules, or performance anything.

Hours stops at complete.

Your team's hours are your team's business.

  • Only you and your team admins see your hours. Hours' own admin can read data only to keep the service running and to fix problems.
  • Nothing is sold. No ads. No trackers, on this page or in the app.
  • Kept 13 months by default, then deleted.
  • Anyone can export their own data, or delete it, any time, without asking.

Built for teams of 5 to 50.

If you run a small team and want to know who worked when, without buying timesheet software, this is for you.

The clinic or small office

A three-person front desk and a part-timer on Saturdays. Who covered what, settled on one screen.

The volunteer coordinator

A weekend volunteer crew of 30. Volunteers log their own shifts, and you stop counting sign-in sheets.

The field, event, or delivery crew

People on the move all day. They log from the phone in their pocket, the drive across town included.

The lab or studio manager

Part-time staff on different days. Their weeks add up without a whiteboard.

The keeper of the shared spreadsheet

If you chase people to fill in a spreadsheet every week, this is the spreadsheet that fills itself in.

Free while we learn. Want in?

No prices yet. Hours is in early access while it takes shape with its first teams, and each team gets the spots it needs at no charge. Send a note with your team size, what you'd like to track, and when you'd start. A person reads every one.

The button opens an email to jeff.james@hotmail.com. No form, no mailing list.

Questions people ask first

Is this payroll?

No. There are no pay rates, overtime math, or approvals. Hours records when people were in and out, stops at complete, and exports to CSV if the numbers need to go somewhere else.

Do people need to install an app?

No. Hours works in the browser on any phone or computer. On a phone it can sit on the home screen like an app.

How do people sign in?

With their email, Google, or Microsoft, whichever your team allows. You choose when you set up, and you can change it later.

Can we use our own branding?

Partly, for now. Your team's name is on it from day one. Your own logo and two colors are coming soon, and Hours will check every color for contrast, so nobody can make it unreadable.

Can we export our data?

Yes. CSV, any time: the team's week, or every entry in a date range. Each person can also export their own.

What happens when we stop?

Export what you want to keep, then email us to close the team. We delete it along with everything in it. Nothing lingers in a back room.
