About
We built Clox because Sunday night used to suck.
Clox is built by a small team for small teams. The kind of business where the owner is also the foreman, the estimator, and the guy answering the phone at 7am on Saturday.
Why we built it
Most small trades and field-service businesses still run payroll on paper timecards or a spreadsheet. Adding up a week of hours by hand takes real time on a Sunday night, and the math isn't always right.
When the numbers are off, it costs money and it costs trust. An owner either overpays to keep the peace or underpays and hears about it, and over a year that adds up.
The software that promises to fix this is often built for big companies, with a price and a learning curve a small crew doesn't need. We wanted something a five-person shop could set up in an afternoon and actually use.
So we built Clox. One screen for the crew, one place for the office, and the hours added up correctly. Clock in, clock out, and Sunday night is free.
How it splits up
Clox works in two places. Managers and the office run everything from the web app, on a computer or a phone browser. That's where you set up jobs, approve hours, and run payroll.
Your crew uses the Clox app on their phones to clock in. One tap starts or ends a shift, and the app tracks breaks and overtime for you. It keeps working when there's no signal and syncs once the connection comes back. Your crew can install it from the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android, and it also runs in any phone browser.
If some of your crew share one device, you can set up a tablet on site as a kiosk, and they punch in with a PIN. Either way, every hour lands in the same place.
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.A flat base fee plus a low per-user rate, every feature included, no per-feature gating. If we can't make money at $29 a month plus $6 a head, we'll go work for somebody else. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial, and your first paid subscription is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Small businesses deserve good tools.The construction trades, the cleaning crews, the landscapers, the independent restaurants. They've been handed enterprise software dressed down, or half-finished hobby projects. We aim for good software priced fairly.
Your data is your data.Cancel and we'll export everything. Delete and we delete. Leaving takes a click in the billing portal, with none of the retention tricks other tools use. You can also turn on two-factor sign-in to keep your account locked down.
What we don't do
Clox records when and where your crew clocks in and out, and nothing more. It doesn't log keystrokes, take screenshots, score productivity, or sell anyone's data.
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, and answer your support email personally.
