Punch is an employee time clock built for small field teams — a geofencing time clock for verified job-site time tracking, with approvals, weekly or bi-weekly timesheets, and reports everyone in the org can reach from iOS or web.

How it works

Three workflows. One source of truth.

Punch in. Approve. Pay and report. Every role works on iOS and web — pick whichever device is in your hand.

  1. Step 1

    Punch in

    One tap on iOS or web. On iOS, GPS verifies the device is within the job-site radius before the shift counts. The shift card runs a live timer until punch-out.

  2. Step 2

    Approve

    Every completed shift lands in the Approvals queue. Approve in one tap. Reject with a reason — the employee gets notified.

  3. Step 3

    Pay and report

    Mark a pay period paid by payment method. Export the period's timesheets, or pull a weekly or monthly report — Excel or PowerPoint, your pick.

Features

Beyond field crews

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How does Punch verify my employees are at the job site when they punch in?
On iOS, Punch uses GPS to confirm the device is within a configurable radius of the assigned job site. Owners enable geofencing per-org and set the radius per-site. Web punches are gated separately — owners can disable web punching entirely if they prefer iOS only.
Who uses iOS and who uses the web?
Both platforms support every role. iOS is the only place GPS-verified punch-in happens, so most field employees use it as their primary device. Owners and managers can run the whole team — approvals, timesheets, reports, exports — from iOS and/or web, depending on whichever device is in your hand.
Can I export timesheets and reports?
Yes. Timesheets export to Excel by week — hours, payout, and status for every shift. Reports export to Excel with multiple sheets, formulas, and formatting, or to PowerPoint with KPIs and charts. Both designed to give you the valuable insights you need.
How are shift edits handled?
Owners and managers review every shift in the Approvals queue — approve in one click, or reject with a reason that lands in the employee's inbox. If a punch time is wrong, owners and managers can edit shifts within the current work week, and every edit captures a reason on the record.
Does Punch handle overtime?
Yes — preset policies for federal (40h/week at 1.5×) and California (8h/day, 12h/day, 40h/week tiers), plus a custom option. Overtime calculations roll up into the pay period when an owner marks a week paid; per-shift figures stay at straight time. Additional territories and their policy rates coming soon.
What does Punch cost?
Punch offers a 14-day free trial for all tiers; paid plans scale with the size of your team, never by holding back features for higher tiers. Subscribe and manage the perfect plan for your team's size from iOS or punchapp.io (with Stripe). Change plans, update payment, or cancel with either.
