Its recent one- and two-star reviews are spread across a few themes: price, lost or unsynced data, and bugs. Pocket Timesheet is built to keep your shifts on the phone with no account to lose, with an optional backup file in your own iCloud Drive as part of Pro.
Pocket Timesheet hasn’t launched yet. If you’d like to try it, join the waitlist for a single email at launch. In the meantime the calculators and timesheet templates on this site are free to use.
How Pocket Timesheet handles pay
It counts each shift to the minute, takes off unpaid breaks, splits overnight shifts at midnight, and works out regular, overtime and double-time hours by the week and, if you want, by the day. Rounding is done once, on the money, so totals match a pay stub line by line.
The free version keeps every shift with no entry cap and prints a PDF timesheet for the current pay period. Pro adds more than one job, custom rules and periods, history export, reminders, widgets and an iCloud Drive backup file.
Coming to iPhone.
