Documentation
Everything you need to know to get started with Clocktap.
Getting Started
1. Create your account
Visit the Sign Up page and fill in your organization name, your name, email address, and a password. This creates your organization and gives you an admin account.
2. Choose a plan
After signing up you'll land on the admin dashboard. Before you can add employees, head to Billing and pick a plan. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial — you won't be charged until the trial ends.
3. Add your employees
In the Employees tab, click Add Employee. Enter their first name, last name, email, and a temporary password. Share those credentials with the employee so they can log in.
4. Employees log in and clock in
Employees visit the Log In page, enter their credentials, and they're taken straight to their dashboard where they can clock in with one tap.
Admin Dashboard
The admin dashboard is your command center. It shows at-a-glance stats — total employees, who's currently clocked in, and how many were active today — along with five main tabs.
Employees tab
Lists every employee in your organization. From here you can:
- Add a new employee (first name, last name, email, and password).
- Edit an employee's name, email, or reset their password via the “⋯” menu.
- Delete an employee permanently via the “⋯” menu.
Your plan determines the maximum number of employees you can have. The counter at the top of the tab shows your current usage.
Active tab
Shows every employee who is currently clocked in, including what time they started and how many hours they've been working.
Reports tab
A detailed view of all time entries within a date range (defaults to the last 30 days). Each row shows the employee, date, clock-in time, clock-out time, total hours, break minutes, and status.
Use the Date Range dropdown to quickly select Previous work week, Previous 2 work weeks (full Sunday–Saturday periods), or Choose a Range for custom start/end dates.
- Edit an entry by clicking the pencil icon — you can adjust clock-in, clock-out, and break times.
- Add an entry manually with the Add Entry button (useful for missed punches).
- Delete an entry with the trash icon.
- Export to CSV for use in spreadsheets or payroll software.
- Email the report as a CSV attachment to the admin email and optional additional recipients (e.g. accounting).
Payroll tab
Provides a consolidated payroll summary grouped by employee. For the selected date range it shows each employee's total shifts, gross hours, break minutes, and net hours. Summary cards at the top show totals across all employees.
Use the Date Range dropdown to quickly select Previous work week, Previous 2 work weeks (full Sunday–Saturday periods), or Choose a Range for custom start/end dates.
- Export to CSV for easy import into your payroll system.
- Email the payroll summary as a CSV attachment to the admin email and optional additional recipients (e.g. accounting).
Settings tab
Configure organization-level settings:
- Timezone — Sets the timezone used for all date/time displays across the app. Make sure this matches your business location.
- Change Password — Update your admin account password. You'll need to enter your current password first.
Email Notifications — Control which automatic email notifications are sent to the admin. Each toggle takes effect immediately.
- Employee Clock In — Receive an email when an employee clocks in. Off by default.
- Employee Clock Out — Receive an email when an employee clocks out. Off by default.
- New Employee — Receive an email when a new employee is added to the organization. On by default.
Employee Dashboard
The employee dashboard is intentionally simple — clock in, clock out, done.
Clocking in and out
When you're not clocked in, you'll see a single Clock In button. Tap it to start your shift. Once clocked in, you'll see your clock-in time and a running count of hours worked, along with two buttons:
- Start Break — Pauses your active time. The button changes to End Break so you can resume when you're ready.
- Clock Out — Ends your shift and records the total hours worked.
Recent time entries
Below the status card, you'll find a list of your most recent work sessions showing the date, clock-in/out times, status, and total hours for each entry.
Billing & Plans
Clocktap offers three plans based on team size. All plans include the same features — time tracking, reports, CSV export, email reports, and payroll summaries. The only difference is the employee limit.
| Plan | Price | Employees |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $9/mo | Up to 10 |
| Team | $19/mo | Up to 25 |
| Workforce | $29/mo | Up to 50 |
Free trial
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. You won't be charged until the trial period ends.
Managing your subscription
Navigate to Billing from the admin dashboard header. From there you can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your plan. To update your payment method, click Manage Billing to open the Stripe customer portal.
