Time Tracking Best Practices
⏰Clock In/Out Immediately
Don't wait until later to record your time. Clock in the moment you start working and clock out immediately when you finish. Delayed tracking leads to forgotten hours and inaccurate records. Bookmark this page on your phone for quick mobile access.
☕Take Regular Breaks
Research shows that taking regular breaks improves focus, productivity, and health. Our program reminds you to take a break every 90 minutes. Use the break timer to track all your breaks - this ensures accurate net work hours and helps you maintain healthy work patterns.
📊Review Your Weekly Summary
Check your weekly stats regularly to understand your work patterns. Are you working consistent hours? Are you taking enough breaks? Use this data to optimize your schedule and prevent burnout. The average worker should aim for 7-8% break time relative to work hours.
💾Export Data Regularly
Download your time card reports weekly as backup. While your data is stored in your browser, it can be lost if you clear browser data or switch devices. Export to CSV and keep records for at least 3 years for tax and legal purposes.
🔒Your Data Stays Private
Unlike cloud-based time tracking apps, our program stores everything locally in your browser. No account required, no data sent to servers, no privacy concerns. Your work schedule and hours remain completely confidential.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, completely free with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or premium tiers. This is a web-based tool that runs entirely in your browser. We don't collect your data or require account creation. The tool is supported by DeskBreak, and we hope you'll try our break reminder app, but the time card program is yours to use freely forever.
Since data is stored locally in your browser, each device has its own separate records. If you need to access your time cards across devices, export your weekly report as a CSV file and import it to your preferred device. For automatic cross-device syncing, consider upgrading to the full DeskBreak app which includes cloud storage.
Your active session is saved! When you return to the page, you'll still be clocked in and the timer will show the correct elapsed time since you clocked in. The program uses localStorage to preserve your session even if you close the browser, restart your computer, or navigate away.
The current version doesn't support editing past entries to maintain data accuracy and prevent accidental tampering. If you need to make corrections, you can clear all data and re-enter your time cards, or export the CSV and edit it in Excel/Google Sheets. For advanced editing features, check out DeskBreak's full time tracking suite.
The program tracks total hours worked and break time, but doesn't automatically calculate overtime pay since overtime rules vary by state and employer. You can export your hours worked and use our separate Time Card Calculator tool to compute overtime pay based on your specific hourly rate and overtime threshold.
Tracking breaks serves two purposes: (1) Accurate time records - your net work hours should exclude unpaid break time for correct payroll calculations, and (2) Health monitoring - studies show workers who take regular breaks are more productive, less stressed, and healthier. Aim for 5-10 minute breaks every 90 minutes of work.
DeskBreak takes time tracking to the next level with automatic break reminders, desktop notifications, team features for managers, cloud backup across devices, and integration with payroll systems. While this free tool is perfect for individual time tracking, DeskBreak is ideal for teams and businesses that need comprehensive break management.
