GPS-Verified Clock-Ins

Each clock-in is tied to a device and a GPS location. You can see who clocked in where, across every job site, in one view. Learn more about GPS tracking.

Automated Timesheets

Clock-ins and clock-outs build timesheets in real time. Hours, overtime, and breaks are calculated as your team works — not after.

Ready in Minutes

Create a workspace, invite your team, and they're clocking in the same day. Most teams are fully onboarded within a week.

ShiftFlow connects the full loop — clock-in to timesheet to payroll export — so there's no manual step in between. Every punch carries GPS data, timesheets update in real time, and payroll hours are ready to export when you need them.

Step 3

Timesheets Update in Real Time

Timesheets update automatically from clock data

Step 4

Review, Approve, and Export to Payroll

At the end of the pay period, review timesheets, approve them, and export as CSV. Overtime and break calculations are already done. Every edit is logged in an audit trail.

Free Time Clock Software FAQ

Common questions about ShiftFlow's time clock software for employees.

Can I use my phone as a time clock?

Yes. Your team downloads ShiftFlow, taps clock in when they arrive, and taps clock out when they leave. Each punch is stamped with the time and GPS location.

How does ShiftFlow prevent buddy punching?

Each clock-in is tied to a specific device and checked against the job site location using GPS. If someone clocks in from an unexpected location, the system flags it and you can review it in the dashboard.

Does the time clock software work without internet?

Yes. The app records the punch locally and syncs it once there's a connection. The timestamp reflects the actual clock-in time, not when the data synced.

What if my team works at multiple job sites?

Each clock-in is GPS-verified against the assigned job site. Your dashboard shows all sites in one view, and reports roll up across every location.

Is the time clock software really free?

You get a 14-day trial with every feature included — no credit card required. After that, pick a plan based on your team size. There's no annual lock-in, and your data is exportable anytime.
