A private employee flow
Employees enter a PIN, see the one action that makes sense, confirm it, and leave the screen ready for the next person.
TIMEKEEPING
Timekeeping app
A simple clock-in experience for employees, with the local-first reliability and administrator tools a small workplace needs behind it.
What it helps with.
The employee side stays intentionally small. The extra detail lives behind an administrator PIN, where it can help with roster changes, status checks, and payroll preparation.
Local first, sync second
Every punch is saved on the device before the network is involved. If the connection fails, the punch stays safe and waits.
Roster and payroll review
An administrator can manage employees, review clock status, choose a pay period, spot issues, and prepare summary and detail files.
Another view when needed
An invite-only web portal can show the cloud copy, punch history, reports, and archives without exposing the employee kiosk.
A normal use.
The everyday path should take seconds. Network trouble, reporting, and account management should not get in an employee's way.
- 01Enter a PIN
The public screen does not show the employee roster.
- 02Clock in or out
The app offers the action that follows the last saved punch.
- 03Save locally
The original time is recorded on the device immediately.
- 04Review later
Cloud copying and payroll review happen without holding up the kiosk.
What has been used for real.
The core promise—save the punch first—has been exercised on the physical device, not only on a development screen.
Spare tablet
A PIN-based clock-in and clock-out were completed on the spare workplace device.
Original times kept
Both events were saved locally and arrived in the cloud copy with their original punch times.
Existing data preserved
A later app update was installed over the existing app without removing its local workplace file.
Still open
The final payroll handoff beside the real payroll file and the physical receipt printer still need a full operator rehearsal. The timekeeping app can prepare those paths, but the site does not call them finished.
Next project: production records, costing, and compliance labelling in a local workspace.
