Payroll is due. Half the timesheets are missing.

Chasing hours, fixing spreadsheets, guessing who forgot to clock out — it happens every pay period.

01"Did Mike clock out at 4 or 5? He can't remember."
02"The accountant flagged 12 missing entries again."
03"Overtime looks off — who approved those extra hours?"

Frequently asked questions

We couldn't track GPS even if we wanted to — there's no app. alptimer only records the timestamp and message content from your crew's clock-in/out texts. That's it.

alptimer captures server-side UTC timestamps, calculates hours with deterministic break and overtime rules, and maintains an append-only audit log. This gives you the records FLSA requires.

If they can send a message, they can clock in. No app download, no training, no smartphone required — basic phones with messaging work too.

The dashboard flags open entries. You'll see exactly who forgot to clock out so you can resolve it before payroll. You can also set automatic rules for maximum shift length.

Pay $49 once and get access for up to 10 users. No recurring fees. This offer is limited to the first 50 customers.

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use append-only storage for audit integrity. We never sell or share your data.
