Getting set up as an employee

You got an invite to clock in with Clox. Accept it, sign in, tap Start. Five minutes. On iPhone, the app is on the TestFlight beta now.


Your boss put your crew on Clox to track hours. You clock in and out from your phone with one tap. Here is how to get set up. It takes about five minutes, once.

Get the Clox app
On iPhone, your manager sends you a TestFlight invite to install the Clox app. Android is coming soon. Either way, you can accept your invite and sign in from your phone's browser today, then clock in the same way.

1. Accept your invite

Your manager sends you an invite by email, or hands you a link by text or in person. Open it on the phone you carry on the job. Set a password (your email is already filled in) and you are in.

2. Get the Clox app

On iPhone, your manager sends you a TestFlight link to install the Clox app. Android is coming soon. You don't have to wait for it: accept your invite and sign in from your phone's browser right now, and you can clock in immediately.

Once the app is on your phone, tap the Clox icon to open it. From a browser, just open app.getclox.com.

3. Sign in

Open Clox and sign in with the email your invite was sent to and the password you set. You land on Today, the page with the big Start button.

4. Tap Start

  1. If your crew uses projects, pick yours from the dropdown above the button.
  2. Tap Start. You are clocked in and the timer runs.
  3. Work your shift. The timer keeps running even if you close Clox or lose signal.
  4. When you finish, open Clox again and tap End.
That is the whole job
One tap in, one tap out. Breaks, switching jobs mid-shift, and your schedule are all on the same screen when you need them.

If clock-in asks for your location or a photo

Some crews lock clock-in to the job site or ask for a quick selfie to confirm who punched. If Clox asks, allow location for Clox when your phone prompts you (in the app, or in your browser if you clock in from a computer), or snap the photo. Your manager set that up. It only happens at clock-in.

What you can see

You can clock in and out, view your own timesheet, request time off, and see your schedule. You cannot see anyone else's hours or any settings. That is normal.
