Track time by clock in-out







Improve business decisions by understanding your team’s performance
Seven convenient ways to track attendance with all kinds of breaks (billable and nonbillable) like lunch or personal time: web browser, mobile app, iBeacons, QR codes (KIOSK), API, Slack, and other integrations.
Employees can track time spent on particular projects (from web, mobile app, and slack) so you can get reports for payroll with the number of hours worked and project names for a given employee or team. It’s also often used as a customer billing tool.
Calamari notifies you and creates reports about late arrivals, early departures, unexpected absences, and other misdemeanors, so you can optimize team’s performance and increase project profitability.
Track time both for full time employees (especially if it’s required by law) and contractors, freelancers, and part time workers. It’s the best tool for quick and mistake-free data gathering of online payroll data for remote teams.

Seven different ways to track time
Keep your focus and log time directly from the app you’re using to communicate with your team. Receive clock-in/out reminders and more.
Get all features, together with restrictions, to different locations (only from VPN or IP addresses from the office/home). You can collect IP addresses to avoid abuse.
Time tracking is always at hand and much easier with GPS through our native mobile app for Android or iOS. It’s the perfect solution for field workers or sales representatives to keep track of their projects from anywhere.
Start and end work automatically based on physical presence at the office. No action required!
Integrate your company-wide systems with a public web API. To learn more head to developers documentation.
Turn any tablet or smartphone into a professional time reader and let employees clock in by scanning their QR codes. Prevent buddy punching thanks to saved employee photos on entrance and exit.

Clock in directly from Slack
Your employees don’t even have to use a web or mobile app – they can clock in/out and switch between projects through a convenient Slack integration. They can also request time off directly from Slack.
Get notified about the planned start and end of the workday. Managers can also receive notifications about all kinds of timesheet abnormalities regarding starting and ending the workday.
Your employees can smartly add their presence records directly in Slack. The option to skip non-working days, such as holidays, weekends, or previously requested leave, ensures accuracy and speeds up the process.
Appointed managers can approve or reject entries, changes, and breaks in a timesheet.
You can publish a channel with team attendance so that everyone can check if their colleagues are available.
Calamari can send notifications in real time to a predefined slack channel so that everyone can see if someone has started or finished working or is taking a break.

Scan QR codes on entrance to clock in
Turn any tablet or smartphone into a professional time reader with quick scanning. Installed at each entrance to the building, it’s a low cost solution.
Easily distribute QR codes to clock in/out (no need to order cards, badges). Know when employees are in the building or office in case of an emergency.
If needed, the application can take and save photos of employees during code scanning on entrance, leave, or break that will be visible to the manager in the timesheet.

Centralized attendence management for distributed teams
Define where your employees can log their working hours – from office spaces to entire countries. You can restrict work locations based on legal requirements, such as GDPR compliance.
Easily check your team’s working hours in your own time zone, making scheduling and communication smoother. Public holidays for different countries are automatically reflected in your dashboard, so you always know who is available.
Clock-in and clock-out notifications help you stay updated on your team’s activity, while the presence list allows you to quickly check who is currently working. Calendar visibility makes it easier to schedule meetings and collaborate across time zones.
Use the app in five languages: Polish, English, French, Spanish, and German.
Customize work schedules to fit different countries and teams. Define workdays, time ranges, and required working hours. You can also set break rules and configure the timesheet approval process to match your company’s structure.

Virtual boundaries for Attendance Tracking
Set up virtual boundaries around work locations to ensure employees can clock in only within designated zones. This guarantees accurate time tracking and prevents unauthorized check-ins.
When employees enter a zone, they receive an automatic reminder to clock in. With the Calamari mobile app, they have quick access to time tracking and a full overview of their work hours—always at their fingertips.
Minimize time tracking errors. Geofencing verifies employees’ physical presence and prevents false check-ins by restricting time registration to designated locations.
Monitor attendance in real time, no matter where your employees work. Gain full visibility and ensure everyone is where they need to be.
Organize team timesheets

Flexible Time & Attendance
Capture precise attendance data as it happens. Perfect for organizations requiring accurate timestamps and location verification. Our real-time tracking provides immediate visibility into team presence. Employees can clock in/out via six different methods (mobile app, QR codes, browser, slack, teams, mobile app) while managers gain instant access to attendance patterns, helping maintain operational efficiency and compliance.
Trust your team with timesheet management in environments where flexibility matters most. This approach empowers employees to record their hours at their convenience while maintaining transparency. Ideal for professional service firms, creative agencies, and teams with flexible schedules, it balances accountability with autonomy, reducing administrative burden while preserving accurate time records.
Combine both methods to accommodate diverse team needs across your organization. Apply real-time tracking where precise attendance matters, while allowing timesheet self-management for teams with more flexible arrangements. This tailored approach ensures each department follows the most appropriate procedure while maintaining consistent data across your entire company.

Manage timesheets with ease
View your team’s performance on a calendar filtered by shifts, time worked, overtime, flexitime, or projects.
Everyone can make updates to their time entries. A manager is notified about all changes and can approve or reject them. Calamari keeps the full history of timesheet changes.
You can set up managers to be responsible for timesheet approval. Calamari provides a flexible, multi-level approval process as well as automatic approval for chosen employees.

Comprehensive reports
Gain complete insight into work hours and employee absences. Use filters like date range, department, or contract type to focus on relevant data. Export to Excel or integrate seamlessly with payroll systems.
Track activities – from work to breaks and projects. Detailed data on start/end times, GPS locations, and terminals help you analyze team efficiency.
Identify abnormalities like lateness, short hours, or work on days off. Filters make it easy to pinpoint specific issues and archived data. An ideal tool for eliminating errors in time tracking and identifying attendance irregularities.
Get a quick overview of employee attendance. Group data by yourself, your company, or your subordinates.
Track time spent on projects. With filters and detailed data, such as total hours per project, you can quickly prepare reports for internal billing or client invoicing.
Customize the report to your needs by selecting the information most relevant to time tracking. Include data on leaves, projects, breaks, holidays, or reported work hours to create a report that perfectly meets your requirements.

Time & attendance with mobile application for employees & managers
Get a high-quality mobile app that has all the necessary features you will need on the go.
Employees can manage their timesheets and managers can accept or reject changes quickly from their phones. Everyone can see their limits and outstanding requests.
Everyone can copy a timesheet for convenient completion of timesheet entries.
