Online Time Clock — Punch In and Out

Punch in, punch out, and see today's hours add up. Saved on your device, nothing uploaded.

This online time clock does one job well: punch in when you start, punch out when you stop, and it keeps a running list of the day's segments with a total in both hours and minutes and decimal hours. Everything is stored in your own browser, so there is no account to create and nothing leaves your device. For a whole week at once, use the time card calculator.

Why the total appears twice

Hours worked are read one way and paid another. A shift of 7 hours 45 minutes is written 7:45 on a card but entered as 7.75 in payroll, because minutes are sixtieths rather than hundredths. Getting this wrong is the most common time-card error there is — the decimal converter exists purely to stop it, and converting minutes to decimal hours explains the arithmetic.

What this clock is and is not

It is a personal record: accurate, private and immediate. It is not a payroll system — there is no approval workflow, no multi-employee roster and no export to an accounting package. If you need those, see free time clock versus payroll software for where the line sits.

Frequently asked questions

Is my punch data stored anywhere?
No. Entries are saved in your browser's local storage on this device only. Nothing is transmitted, and clearing your browser data removes them.
Does it keep yesterday's entries?
The log covers the current day and resets automatically when the date changes, so the total you see always refers to today.
Can I use it for more than one job?
You can punch multiple separate segments in a day and each is listed individually, but the running total combines them.
What if I forget to punch out?
The open segment keeps counting until you punch out. For a shift you have already worked, enter the times directly on the time card calculator instead.
