You can also start/stop or continue the latest timer with haptic touch (3d touch) when you long-press the app icon.

How to add a widget to your homescreen:

Timesheet mode #

You can log how much time you’ve spent on projects for each day in the week in the Timesheet (Timesheet has to be enabled in workspace settings first).

Create template in the following way:

1. Add project/task
2. Tap on the field next to the added project for the day you want to log time
3. Enter time
4. When a new week starts, you can reuse project/task combination from last week or apply a template

Depending on the approval period set up in the Workspace settings, timesheet templates can be created for weekly, semi-monthly and monthly time period.

Edit time entry #

To edit a time entry, simply tap on it from the Time Tracker screen. If the timer is running, you can edit details of that time entry by tapping on the timer.

On Time entry details screen you can:

• Edit start and end time, as well as the date
• Select task and project (plus create project, tasks, and clients from within the app)
• Edit time description
• Mark time entry as billable
• Add/remove tags (plus create them)

Regular (non-admin) team members aren’t able to create clients, projects, and tags if they are not granted these permissions. To give them such permissions, you will need to log in via Web browser and set Who can create projects and clients, Who can create tasks and Who can create tags to Anyone in the Workspace settings.

Anytime you edit something, Clockify will automatically save the changes and sync data.

To delete a time entry, go back to Time Tracker screen, swipe left on the time entry, and tap Delete.

If you’d like to see how much time you’re spending on breaks and optimize it a bit, you can track your breaks in the Time Tracker on your iOS device.

Break timer is available to all users regardless of your user role. You only need to have breaks enabled in the Workspace settings on the web app.

To start a break:

2. Navigate to the play button at the bottom right corner and swipe left

You can always edit and delete break entries unless that period is locked and the time entries are approved.  

Important to note:

• If tracking breaks is disabled or the workspace is downgraded, tracked break entries stay in the Time Tracker
• If force timer is turned on, you can’t switch the mode and can only start the timer by tapping play 
• If Break mode is turned on, when you duplicate or continue the break entry, a new break entry is created 
• If Break mode is turned off, when you duplicate or continue the break entry, a regular break entry is created
• Break timer is available in the offline mode
• Duration format set in the Workspace settings, on the web app, will be applied

Profile settings #

When you tap on your account name in the side menu, you’ll see the screen where you can:

• Change Time zone settings
• Log out or delete your Clockify account 

Settings (General) #

When you tap on the Settings menu in the sidebar you’ll see a general settings screen, where you can:

• Enable the option to add mobile tag to each time entry that’s created on your phone
• Two-factor authentication (2FA)
• App theme
• Default project
• Force offline mode
• Calendar integration

App theme #

You can set an app theme that corresponds to the system. By default, when you install the app, app theme is set to System default. If you’d like to change the default theme, you can do that in the Settings screen and choosing one of the following options:

1. System default
2. Light
3. Dark

The theme will be applied immediately.

Default project #

If you continuously work on the same project, you can set a default project. Then, all you have to do is type what you’re working on and start the timer, and the project will be selected automatically.

You can set:

• A fixed project, which will be always used when you start a timer for an entry without a project (until you change the default project)
• Or select Last used project, and the timer will pick up the most recently used available project from your list of time entries

Offline mode #

You can track time in Clockify on your iPhone even offline. You can create time entries manually or start/stop the timer, and newly created time entries will be saved locally on your phone. When you get back online, the app will automatically sync all time entries.

When you’re offline, you will only be able to see information loaded while you were online (time entries, projects, tasks, tags, etc.). So projects, tasks, and tags are available for selection if they were loaded before you went offline.

It’s not possible to create new projects, tasks, tags, and clients while offline.

If you notice that the app is very slow, it probably means you have an unstable internet connection. In that case, enable Force offline mode in Settings to improve performance. This will make the app behave as if it’s offline without you having to turn off your internet connection. After your turn off Force offline mode, the app will automatically sync all time entries.

If you are using the app in the offline mode, please make sure you’ve synced your time entries with the cloud prior to logging out. If you fail to do that, all the data that is not synced at the moment of logging out, will be lost.
