Live shift timer with breaks and productive hours.

Instant results 100% private Mobile-first No signup 14 tools

Start the shift timer, pause when you take a break, resume when you're back, and end the shift. The tracker calculates productive hours, break time and saves a daily log — all locally.

Why track work hours?

Tracking your hours protects you in two ways: it gives a verifiable record for HR/clients, and it shows you where the day actually goes. Most knowledge workers over-estimate productive hours by 25 – 40%.

How to use the tracker

  1. Click Start Shift when you begin work.
  2. Click Pause Break when you step away (lunch, meetings, etc.).
  3. Click Resume when you're back.
  4. Click End Shift when done — see total, productive and break hours.
