About
We built Clox because Sunday night used to suck.
Clox is built by a small team for small teams. Specifically — for the kind of business where the owner is also the foreman, the estimator, and the guy answering the phone at 7am on Saturday.
The story
We watched a family member — a one-man-shop electrical contractor who'd grown to 8 employees over 12 years — spend every Sunday night doing payroll at the kitchen table with a stack of handwritten timecards. His wife had the calculator. He had the phone, texting his foreman to clarify when Carlos came in on Tuesday.
Most weeks it took 3 hours and the math was 80% right. The other 20% became Friday arguments. We'd watch him pay an apprentice $40 extra because the apprentice swore he'd worked the hours, and arguing wasn't worth the bad blood. That apprentice would talk. So would the journeymen. The leak was real money.
He tried QuickBooks Time once. Returned it within a month — too much for what he needed. Tried a paper-bound timecard app from the App Store. Crashed every time. Tried writing his own spreadsheet. Wife refused to use it.
So we built Clox. The version we wanted to hand him. One screen. One tap. Calculations done. Sunday night free.
What we believe
Software should be invisible.The best time tracker is the one your guys forget they're using. We don't want feature parades. We want one screen that works.
Pricing should be honest.Per seat, no base fees, no per-feature gating. If we can't make money at $5/seat we'll go work for somebody else.
Small businesses deserve good tools.The construction trades, the cleaning crews, the landscapers, the independent restaurants — they've been served by enterprise software dressed down or by half-finished hobby projects. We aim for actually-good software priced fairly.
Your data is your data.Cancel and we'll export everything. Delete and we delete. No dark patterns, no guilt-trip cancellation flows.
What we don't do
We don't track your employees' keystrokes. We don't take screenshots. We don't score their productivity. We don't sell their data to anyone, ever.
Clox is for honest crews and honest owners. If you need spy software, we're the wrong tool.
Who we are
Clox is a small, self-funded team. We don't have venture investors pushing us to chase enterprise contracts. That means we can stay focused on small-team time tracking forever — and answer your support email personally.
