An online time clock with real break tracking

One button to clock in. Bathroom, lunch and personal break buttons. Watchie keeps the day honest without anyone babysitting it.

What’s included in time clock & breaks

Clock in and out from the desktop app

Pick a project, press Clock in. Watchie sits in the menu bar or system tray and keeps going if the window is closed.

Three break buttons

Bathroom, lunch and personal. Each is timed, and nothing is tracked while someone is on a break.

Daily break limit

Set a combined daily limit (for example 75 minutes). Going over is flagged for review — never silently deducted.

Idle that isn’t a break

After a few minutes with no input, Watchie pauses and asks the person to keep, remove or explain that time.

Schedules and lateness

Set shifts per person. Late starts and no-shows show up in Insights for employees.

Works offline

Time is saved on the computer first and syncs when the connection is back, so nothing is lost.

Time clock & breaks: frequently asked questions

What is Watchie?

Watchie is a time clock for every place your team works: the office, at home, overseas and out on job sites. It records hours and breaks, shows real activity for desk work, confirms field crews clocked in at the job, and turns approved hours into payroll.

How long does setup take?

Most teams are running the same afternoon. Create your company, set your break limit and screenshot settings, add projects or job sites, and send invite links. Each person accepts a plain-language notice before tracking starts.

Is there a trial?

Yes. Every new company gets a 14-day trial with every feature turned on, so you can try desk tracking, field clock-in and payroll before you choose a plan.

Which devices does it work on?

Office and remote staff use the Mac or Windows app. Field crews clock in from the browser on any iPhone or Android phone and can add it to their home screen. Managers use the dashboard in any browser, including on a phone.

What happens if the internet drops?

Nothing is lost. The desktop app and the phone clock-in both save time on the device first and send it when the connection is back.

Can I use Watchie for contractors?

Yes. Contractors are tracked for billing. Schedules, break limits and scores are off for contractors by default, because controlling how a contractor works can turn them into an employee in the eyes of the law.

Already use Jobber, Housecall Pro or BookingKoala?

Keep it for scheduling, quotes and invoices. Watchie covers what those apps don’t: monitoring for your remote office team, one time clock for office and field, and payroll that follows state overtime and break rules.

See who’s really working.

Set up your team in minutes. Clock in on Mac, Windows, or a phone at the job site.
