Unique Feature

The Time Clock App That Works Offline.

A native iOS and Android app built on React Native with offline-first architecture. Workers clock in and out with zero internet connectivity. Punches queue locally and sync the moment a connection returns. Five dedicated tabs for everything workers need — clock, timesheet, schedule, news, and time off. Free for every user.

No Signal? No Problem. Clock In Anyway.

This is the feature that sets Cloud Time Manager apart. Your field crews,
delivery drivers, food trucks, and construction workers don’t always have internet. The app doesn’t care.

Local Punch Storage

When there’s no internet, the app stores the clock-in locally on the device — GPS coordinates, timestamp, and all. It doesn’t skip the punch, delay it, or show an error. It just works.

Automatic Sync

The moment connectivity returns, the offline queue syncs all stored punches to the server automatically. No manual upload. No “try again” button. Punches flow in the order they happened with full accuracy.

Queue Visibility

Workers can see how many punches are queued and waiting to sync. Managers see synced punches appear on the dashboard as they come in. Full transparency.

Built as Core Architecture

This isn’t a fallback mode bolted onto an online-only app. The offline queue is core architecture — AsyncStorage-based, FIFO sync, max 5 retries. It was designed to work offline from day one.

Five Tabs. Everything an Employee Needs.

The mobile app is organized into five dedicated tabs so workers can do
everything from their phone without ever opening a browser.

Clock Tab

GPS clock-in/out with one tap. Break start/end buttons. Elapsed time display. Earned wages card showing real-time accrued earnings. Offline punch queue with auto-sync.

Timesheet Tab

Weekly timesheet view with previous/next week navigation. Total hours worked. Overtime highlighting. Workers see their own hours without asking a manager.

Schedule Tab

View assigned shifts with start/end times. Release a shift back to the open pool. Pick up open shifts. .ics export via the device’s calendar app.

News Tab

Company announcements with read/unread styling. Tap to mark as read. Unread count badge on the tab. Managers push announcements from the web dashboard.

Time Off Tab

PTO request list with status chips (Pending, Approved, Rejected). Floating action button to create a new request — select leave type, pick dates, add notes. Cancel pending requests.

Managers Get Three More Tabs.

Admin and manager accounts see additional tabs for real-time team oversight and approval workflows.

Active Workers

The schedule builder flags when assigning a shift would push an employee into overtime. See the warning before you publish, not on the payroll report.

Approvals

Pending time entries waiting for manager review. Approve or reject with one tap from mobile. No need to open a laptop.

Clock

Same clock-in screen as workers — managers can clock themselves in too. GPS capture, break tracking, and offline queue all work identically.

Every Punch Is GPS-Tagged. Even Offline.

The mobile app captures GPS coordinates at every clock event using the device’s built-in location services.

Foreground GPS Capture

The schedule builder flags when assigning a shift would push an employee into overtime. See the warning before you publish, not on the payroll report.

Offline GPS

GPS works independently of internet. Even when the punch is stored in the offline queue, the location is captured and stored with it. When the queue syncs, the GPS data comes along.

Geofence Enforcement

If the employee’s assigned geofence has hard enforcement enabled, the app will block the clock-in if they’re outside the boundary — with a clear message explaining why.

Stay Connected Without Checking the App.

Push notifications keep workers and managers informed without requiring anyone to constantly monitor the app.

Schedule Published

The schedule builder flags when assigning a shift would push an employee into overtime. See the warning before you publish, not on the payroll report.

Shift Swap Requests

Managers get notified when an employee requests a swap, release, or pickup. Workers get notified when their request is approved or rejected.

Time-Off Decisions

Employees get notified immediately when their PTO request is approved or rejected.

Announcements

New company announcements push to every targeted employee’s device with an unread badge.
