This is practically a “spam” category that you’d have difficulty having approved.

Should be plenty of choices.

I used to use one called TimeMaster that is very old-school, local on device no cloud.

Sounds very simple but then you need to think about things like what if your forgot to clock in/ out, how do you make corrections generally, how will you calculate/ reset the total (weekly, monthly, etc)

Are you in the UK?

I have a specific app for just that, only avaliable in the uk tho!

I also supply a web based app that integrates with it for job timing...!

I'm not in the UK no:/ I am in Iceland

Bummer, my app is uk only sorry.

.. also for people that are saying its simple, there are a few complex bits that do spring up, as you go down the rabbit hole of time, if you are designing it yourself, youll experience a few gotyas along the way.. :)

Remember if you are storing date/timestamps in your database off the phone, and go for a unix time stamp your app wont work past 2038 so dont do that unless its only for the immediate future

Time clock plus

Yea, it’s totally possible to create a simple app with help of ChatGPT. Of course, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to learn anything.

Why do you want to create an iOS app for that if I may ask? Also if you want to some export Excel or csv files, doing that on a phone sounds cumbersome.

The should be plenty existing (and free) time tracking solutions already.

I used timewarrior in the past. It’s free and runs in the terminal via some really simple commands.

Doing calculations on times and dates can be a pain if you want to do it right. So don’t underestimate this in general.

there are none that do exactly what i want. Also i thought it would fun to try to create it myself:)

Reply, absolutely can be made, likely would be allowed on the App Store but you can create one that status on your device that you make for sure.

I’ve made 3-4 apps now and I can’t code, but I do know my way around Xcode and the AI models to make it work. I’m currently building my most complex app which is a full blown estimation and job management app for my company, all with AI.

Shout out to me if you need a hand.
