Time clock software is a digital tool that records when employees start and stop work, replacing traditional paper timesheets and physical punch-card machines. Modern time clock software runs on mobile devices, tablets, and web browsers, automatically calculating total hours worked, overtime, breaks, and attendance.
Time clock software is used by businesses of all sizes across virtually every industry. Common users include construction companies, on-site teams, field workers, and mobile workforces needing reliable attendance records. Whether you run a small business or a large enterprise, time clock software helps ensure accurate payroll, compliance with labor laws, and better workforce management.
Jibble turns any smartphone, tablet, or computer into a fully functional employee time clock, no special hardware required. Staff can clock in and out via the iPhone time tracker, Android time tracker, on a tablet, or on laptops and desktops. Managers get instant visibility into who’s clocked in, from where, and for how long.
Jibble automatically generates employee timesheets from every clock-in and clock-out, fully calculated with regular hours, overtime, and breaks. Customize timesheet views by employee, team, or date range, and export directly to payroll in a single click.
Buddy punching costs businesses millions per year. Jibble’s facial recognition time clock stops it entirely. Employees verify their identity with a selfie or on a shared kiosk before their time entry is recorded. If the face doesn’t match, the clock-in is rejected.
Missed clock-ins and forgotten clock-outs are one of the most common sources of payroll errors. Jibble eliminates them automatically. Set scheduled reminders to prompt employees to clock in, trigger auto clock-outs at the end of shifts and set location-based alerts when someone arrives at a job site.
Unreliable signal shouldn’t mean incomplete timesheets. With Jibble’s offline time tracking software, staff can clock in and out even when they’re not connected to the internet. It just syncs up when the device is back online, ensuring no gaps in attendance records.
Jibble’s geofencing attendance system lets you draw a virtual boundary around any workplace, whether it’s an office, job site, warehouse, or client location, and restrict employees from clocking in unless they’re physically inside it.
Jibble is the time clock software with detailed reporting and analytics to help you manage payroll, employee productivity, or budget costs. Understand employee payroll, punctuality and attendance like never before.
Labor law compliance starts with accurate overtime tracking. Jibble lets you configure exactly when overtime kicks in — after a set number of daily hours or weekly hours. Easily apply different rules to different teams or roles, no manual math, no compliance risk.
For teams where attendance accuracy is non-negotiable, Jibble’s device lock feature restricts each employee to clocking in only from their pre-approved phone or tablet. If they try to clock in from any other device, the entry is blocked.
Different teams have different trust and compliance needs. Jibble’s restriction levels let you decide how tightly each team’s time tracking is enforced.
Jibble is trusted across global enterprises and small businesses. From SSO, two-factor authentication, local data residency, self-hosting, to integrating with our native API, we are able to handle your needs.
Getting started with Jibble takes minutes, not days. Simply create an account and add your team by sending an email invite or sharing a sign-up link — no IT setup, and no training sessions required.
