Clock stays in sync with your places Delete every workplace and Clock no longer keeps the old name in the tracking hint or on the next Check In. The place picker hides until you add a workplace again. Cleaner Category Rates Category rate rows are separate cards. Extra list dividers between them are gone. Time Frame, Month & Year browsing (from 1.5.7) Pick Day, Week, Month, or Year the way you’d expect. Month groups by week and Year by month; expand a group or expand all. Prev/next stays responsive with many records. Empty states that invite action Reminders and Custom Categories empty states put the message and a centered Add button together in one card. Workplaces (from 1.5.6) Tag where you worked. Quiet or Suggest places, Summary place filter, CSV/PDF workplace fields, and Backup & Restore for workplaces. Clearer Clock & confirmation toasts Labeled idle filters, session chips, remembered last selections; quick toasts after add, edit, or delete.

Clearer Time Frame Pick Day, Week, Month, or Year the way you’d expect. Week, Month, and Year use period lists instead of a day calendar. Step periods with previous/next on Summary without opening the sheet. Switching from Day to Week keeps the week that contains the day you were viewing. Faster Month & Year browsing With many records, Month groups by week and Year by month (collapsed). Expand a group to see its rows, or use the header expand/collapse-all icon. Prev/next stays responsive on large datasets. Day and Week stay a simple flat list. Empty states that invite action Reminders and Custom Categories empty states now put the message and a centered Add button together in one card—no orphaned Add row above a blank area. Aligned Summary cards Filter toolbar, Statistics, and Time Records share the same width and margins; Statistics has comfortable side padding and rounded corners. Workplaces (from 1.5.6) Tag where you worked. Quiet or Suggest places, Summary place filter, CSV/PDF workplace fields, and Backup & Restore for workplaces.

Workplaces Tag where you worked. In Settings → Manage Workplaces, add Home, client sites, and other places. Choose Quiet (tag only) or Suggest (optional arrive/leave nudges). Set an optional default category and map pin. Pick a place when you clock in, change it mid-session, or attach it on Add/Edit Entry. Filter Summary by All Places, Untagged, or a specific place. CSV includes a Workplace column; PDF can show Workplace when you enable it under PDF export columns. Backup & Restore can include workplaces. Suggest nudges (optional) Suggest places can notify you when you arrive or leave while still clocked in. Tapping a nudge opens Clock and prefills that place—CluckOut never auto clocks in or out. Requires Always location access and notification permission. Quiet places never send nudges. Clearer Clock Idle Clock shows today’s date, a labeled Category (and Workplace when you have places) card, and a short “Tracking …” hint under Clock In. Your last category and workplace are remembered. During a session, category and workplace sit side by side as chips; the hero timer stays front and center, with Estimated Pay underneath when a rate is set. On break, the hero shows break time and metrics show Work so far. Confirmation toasts Quick, auto-dismissing confirmation after you add, edit, or delete time records, reminders, categories, and workplaces; and after you save your default or category hourly rates—including when you swipe to delete. Clearer Summary & forms Time Records show category name, a simple time range, and a duration pill; the full date appears only when the day changes. The Summary filter uses a full-width period control with equal Category and Location filters. Help text for breaks, rates, and batch updates sits as section footers. Category rates align right and keep two decimals after editing. Fresh app icon Updated CluckOut icon on iPhone and Apple Watch. Backup files use .json When you create a backup in Settings → Backup & Restore, the default filename ends with .json so Files and other apps recognize it as JSON. Overlap detection Conflicting Add/Edit ranges are blocked. Back-to-back ranges are fine. Overlapping rows are flagged in Summary. Smarter entry forms Validation banners for clock order, breaks, and overlaps. Duration and pay preview as you edit. Rate fields show From category or Custom. Breaks shift with check-in and clamp to the session. Backup & Restore JSON backup of records, preferences, categories, and workplaces. Preferences, categories, and workplaces replace on restore; records merge and skip duplicates. Still Clocked In & Long Break Optional reminders if you forget to clock out, or if a break runs long (presets or custom). Metric carousel On Summary, swipe between Total Time and Estimated Pay. Layout polish Settings and Clock reserve space for the ad banner. Summary refreshes right after you save an edit.

Backup files use .json When you create a backup in Settings → Backup & Restore, the default filename now ends with .json (for example, cluckout_backup_2026-07-22.json) so Files and other apps recognize it as JSON. Redesigned Clock A clearer live session: Working or On Break status, large hero timer, and side-by-side work duration with estimated pay. On break, the hero shows break time and metrics show Work so far. Overlap detection Add or edit an entry that conflicts with another record and CluckOut blocks the save with a clear message. Back-to-back ranges are fine. Overlapping rows are flagged in Summary, with a note when totals may count overlapping time more than once. Smarter entry forms Validation banners call out clock order, break issues, and overlaps. Duration and pay preview as you edit. Rate fields show From category or Custom. Move check-in and breaks keep their relative offsets; change check-out and breaks clamp into the session. Backup & Restore Save a full backup of your records, preferences, and categories—or any combination—then restore later. Preferences and categories replace what’s on the device; records merge and skip duplicates. Find it in Settings → Backup & Restore. Still Clocked In Reminder Forgot to clock out? In Settings → Reminders, turn on Remind Me If Still Clocked In, set your usual end time, and choose how often to repeat. If you are still clocked in at that time, CluckOut notifies you—and keeps reminding you until you clock out. Long Break Reminder Break running long? Turn on Remind Me If Break Runs Long, choose how long before the first nudge (30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes, or Custom from 1–240 minutes), and how often to repeat. You'll get a “Still on break?” notification after your break exceeds that time, then again until you resume work or clock out. Summary filter toolbar Pick a day, week, month, or year from a compact toolbar on Summary. Tap the calendar for a full calendar view with a clear Day/Week/Month/Year control, jump to Today / This Week / This Month / This Year, and filter by category from the same bar. Metric carousel On Summary, Total Time and Estimated Pay swipe as carousel pages (with page dots), so you can tell time and pay apart at a glance. Layout polish Settings and Clock screens reserve space for the ad banner so footers and controls are no longer covered when you scroll. Summary updates category breakdown and time records right after you save an edit.
