Frequently asked questions

Cloksy is an Android app that tracks your work hours. You punch in and out, and it shows when you can leave, how the week and month compare with your target, and produces reports.

Cloksy has no ads. Check its Google Play listing for the current price and any changes.

Android 11 (API 30) and newer.

Not at the moment. Cloksy is Android only.

Fireflies Labs. You can reach us at fireflieslabs@gmail.com.

English, Arabic, German, Spanish, Hindi, Indonesian and Brazilian Portuguese. The app follows your phone's language.

Yes, it follows your system theme.

Not in version 1.0. It does not request or use your location, and you punch manually from the app, the widget, the Quick Settings tile or the notification. Auto punch with location is planned for the next version. It will be optional and off by default, and your location will stay on your phone.

Not today. Cloksy has no internet access at all. We are exploring an optional backup for people who want to move to a new phone. If it ever ships, the app will keep working fully offline without it.

Yes, please. Email fireflieslabs@gmail.com.

No. There is no sign-up or login.

No. It does not even declare the internet permission, so it cannot send data anywhere.

In a private database on your phone. We do not run servers that hold user data.

No ad SDKs, trackers or analytics.

No. Only you do, unless you choose to share a report or export.

Delete individual punches in the Calendar, or clear the app's storage in Android Settings, or uninstall the app.

Cloksy does not back up or sync anything itself. If Android backup is enabled on your device, Android may include app data in your Google backup, which you control in system settings.

Cloksy is not directed to children under 13. It collects no personal data from anyone. See the privacy policy.

Tap Punch in now and move the clock in the dialog to the time you actually arrived, then tap OK. If the day has already passed, open it in the Calendar and set Custom hours.

Cloksy reminds you. Tap Enter time in the alert, or fix it later in the Calendar. If you do nothing, it estimates the finish at midnight and flags the day for you to verify.

Nothing is recorded. The button opens a dialog asking you to confirm the time, and a punch is only saved when you tap OK. Tap Cancel to close it. If a wrong time was saved, open the day in the Calendar to set Custom hours or delete the entry.

Cloksy tracks one combined timeline. With several punches a day on, you can log multiple sessions, though they are all added into the same totals.

The leave-by time can show "(next day)". Night shifts are supported, but a session longer than 16 hours is questioned as a likely forgotten punch-out.

Yes. In the Calendar, tap a day and set Leave, Holiday or Custom hours for a half day.

A punch-out was estimated. Open the day and confirm or correct it.

Your hours so far are below what your schedule expected by now. Cloksy shows how much extra per day would catch you up.

Fixed days and hours, a weekly total, rotating shifts (like 4 on, 3 off), and flexible with no target. Alternate-Saturday rules are available too.

Use Monthly target to enter that month's days and hours. It overrides the schedule for that month only.

Targets, totals and salary for past days are recalculated using the new schedule. Your recorded punches never change. Cloksy warns you before you save.

Use Customize each day in Work schedule to give each weekday its own hours.

Choose Flexible, no target. Cloksy just totals your hours.

Mark the day as Holiday in the Calendar. With a schedule-based target the day's target is removed.

No. It is an estimate from the pay and schedule you enter. It is not payroll.

Net take-home pay, the amount you actually receive.

Yes. Choose Hourly wage in Salary tracking.

Yes. Pick from popular symbols or type your own.

Set a multiplier (1×, 1.5× or 2×) for work on days off in the schedule's advanced options. It is used in the estimate.

Salary tracking is off by default. When on, you can also choose not to include it in a PDF report.

In the Calendar, open the month and tap share. Set your name first in Profile › User profile.

Yes. Profile › Export data › Excel workbook. CSV is available too.

Some days have no record or status. Fill them in, or continue and the gaps are noted in the report.

Quite a lot: a running overtime balance across months, average hours per weekday, average start and finish times, break lengths, hours per client, your own overtime pay rules and year charts. See 12 ideas with ready-to-copy formulas.

Yes. When salary tracking is on, Cloksy asks each time.

The workbook has three sheets: Summary (monthly totals), Daily (one row per day) and Punches (one row per punch). Every column is explained in the export guide.

They are the same amount written two ways. 8:41 is easy to read, and 8.68 is a decimal your spreadsheet can add and multiply. See which file to use for a conversion guide.

Excel and CSV list only days that have a punch or a status. The PDF lists every day up to today and marks gaps in red, so use the PDF to spot missing days.

No. It is a personal record, not an official payroll or legal document.

Notifications (for reminders and shift alerts), receive-boot-completed (to re-arm reminders after a restart), and wake lock (alarm handling). No location, contacts, storage or internet.

Make sure notifications are allowed, then allow Cloksy to run in the background when the "Reminders arriving late?" card appears. Some phone makers aggressively limit background apps; whitelist Cloksy in battery settings.

Long-press the Home screen, open Widgets, and choose Cloksy. It is resizable.

Open the Quick Settings editor (pencil icon) and drag the Cloksy tile into your panel.

It does no background tracking, so impact is minimal. It only uses a few scheduled alarms for reminders.

There is no cloud sync. Export your data to Excel or CSV before switching, or rely on Android's device backup if you have it on.

Cloksy is designed for portrait orientation.
