Clock in with a tap. 4Work keeps your working hours, your overtime balance, your vacation and sick days and your office and home office days in one place, and makes the monthly timesheet for your employer when you need it. No account, no server of our own, no tracking.
For iPhone. Requires iOS 26 or later.
Shape 4Work
Most people check their hours in three places: a time sheet, a calendar and a spreadsheet. 4Work puts them together. One tap starts the day, and from then on you see your day against its target, your overtime balance, and what is left of your vacation.
Clock in and out on the Today tab, with a Shortcut or, with Pro, automatically when you arrive at or leave one of your places. A Live Activity and a ring in the Dynamic Island run along until the end of your day.
In Hours each day is a trail of light against its target. Overtime shines, missing hours show in red. Switch between week and month and read the overtime per week and per month.
Time off shows vacation taken, planned and still free, a countdown to your next vacation, sick days, time off in lieu and the bridge days worth taking. Public holidays reduce your target automatically.
Make the monthly timesheet as PDF with a preview, or as CSV. With your name on it and, if you like, lines for signatures.
Clock in and out with a tap or a Shortcut. 4Work knows your places: home office, office or your own places with an address. Break rules deduct breaks the way you set them: a break at a fixed time, a window after a number of hours worked, or a deduction when no time is known. Change a break by hand and the rules leave that day alone.
While you are clocked in, a Live Activity shows your day on the Lock Screen, and a ring in the Dynamic Island runs to the end of your day. The Today widget shows working time, target and overtime balance on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen.
Every day appears as a trail of light against its target: colour is the place, a thin cream line is a break, length is time. Switch between week and month. See the overtime per week and per month, tap a day to correct entries and breaks, and set an optional warning for a daily limit.
Set weekly hours or hours per weekday, and let schedules change over time, for example part-time from March. Each schedule carries its own vacation days. Days before a schedule starts never count as missing hours.
Vacation taken, planned and still free, with a countdown to your next vacation and your carried-over days. Sick days, time off in lieu and special leave have their own marks. A sick day inside a vacation counts as sick and gives the vacation day back. 4Work points out bridge days worth taking. Public holidays for every German federal state reduce your target automatically; 24 and 31 December can count as half days.
Home office, office or your own places with an address; 4Work picks the right place when you clock in. Set goals such as at least two office days a week or at most 60 % home office a month. 4Work shows your progress, a forecast, and whether the goal is still within reach.
Arrive at the office and you are clocked in, leave and you are clocked out. At home it counts as home office. Or let a notification ask in the morning: “Home office or office?” Answer, and you are clocked in. Each place has its own time windows.
The timesheet of a month as PDF, with a preview before you share it, or as CSV. Your name sits at the top right; signature lines are optional. With Pro, 4Work creates the report of every finished month on its own, and you can create past reports in one go.
4Work keeps backups on your iPhone, automatically every week, and you can share a backup or restore one. Before a restore, 4Work saves your current data. Your data is kept in your private iCloud.
Clock in, clock out, take a break, mark today, ask how long you worked: all available as Shortcuts and for Siri. Light, dark or system appearance. 4Work speaks English, German, French, Spanish and Italian and follows your device language. “Explore with demo data” lets you try everything with invented data first.
The first 30 days include every feature, from your first launch, without payment details.
You choose a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase (lifetime). Family Sharing works with all three. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends; you manage them in your Apple Account settings.
In the German App Store: €0.99 a month, €9.99 a year, €29.99 once. You see the price in your country in the App Store before you buy.
When the trial ends nothing is charged. All your entries, places and goals stay.
4Work has no account and no server of our own. What you record lives on your iPhone and in your private iCloud. We cannot read it.
No. You open the app and start. Your data stays on your iPhone and in your private iCloud.
No. Without Pro 4Work only uses your location to pre-select the place you are at when you open the app. With Pro and automatic clock-in turned on, iOS tells 4Work when you arrive at or leave one of your places. 4Work keeps no location history and your location is never sent to us.
The first 30 days are free with every feature, without payment details. After that the time clock, hours, work schedules, time off, your first goal, widgets and Shortcuts stay free. 4Work Pro (monthly subscription, yearly subscription or one-time purchase) adds automatic clock-in, the morning question, exports and monthly reports, and further goals.
All your entries, places and goals stay. Only the Pro features switch off until you choose a plan.
The time clock, hours, work schedules, time off and goals work everywhere. Public holidays are built in for the 16 German federal states; elsewhere you choose “None” and add days off yourself. The hint at a 10-hour day refers to German law and can be turned off.
Not yet. 4Work is an app for iPhone.
On your iPhone and in your private iCloud. 4Work also makes backups on the iPhone that you can share or restore.
iOS 26 or later.
