Namely, the app comes with a multitude of options for timekeeping alone, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Timer<\/strong> \u2014 for tracking hours in real time,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Timesheet<\/strong> \u2014 for adding time for the entire week,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manual timekeeping<\/strong> \u2014 for entering hours manually,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calendar<\/strong> \u2014 for a detailed view of time entries and tracking time on events directly,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Auto tracker<\/strong> \u2014 for tracking time spent on particular apps, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kiosk<\/strong> \u2014 for clocking in and out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To be able to fill out the timesheet in Clockify by <a href=\"https:\/\/cake.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAKE.com<\/a>, I first had to add a project. Since my workdays mainly consist of working on articles, I named my project <em>Writing<\/em> and inserted time entries. My timesheet for the entire week ended up looking like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Timesheet.jpg\" alt=\"Clockify - Timesheet\" class=\"wp-image-28177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Timesheet.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Timesheet-730x161.jpg 730w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Timesheet-1110x245.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Timesheet-768x170.jpg 768w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Timesheet-18x4.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Timesheet in Clockify<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be happy to hear that all time tracking options (apart from the Kiosk) are available in the free version of Clockify.

All I needed to do was select the date, project, category, and amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also uploaded receipts, which I found incredibly useful. To speed up this process, employees can take a picture of the receipt directly in the Clockify mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"499\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Adding-expenses-.png\" alt=\"Clockify - Adding expenses\" class=\"wp-image-28174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Adding-expenses-.png 499w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Adding-expenses--220x300.png 220w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Adding-expenses--463x630.png 463w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Clockify-Adding-expenses--9x12.png 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adding an expense in Clockify<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I was impressed by Clockify\u2019s time and expense reporting capabilities, as well. The app allowed me to filter out the reports by team, client, project, and more.
