Terminal, NFC and the physical tracker sit alongside PC and mobile apps, which is what my workshop floor and crews would actually touch, and the desktop app treats offline as a designed state with sync notifications and conflict resolution. But the vendor itself states offline capture is desktop-only and not available in the mobile app, and we found no public information on GPS or geofenced check-in, or bulk corrections with an audit trail of who changed what. 1 2 3 4

The Payroll Officer

Desktop and mobile apps are documented with live tracking, manual entries, editing and deletion, a physical tracker, and offline capture in the desktop app with sync notifications and conflict prompts; Terminal and NFC also appear in a marketing list of tracking methods. But offline works only on desktop and only in the calendar, with pre-sync entries locked and new trackers unusable, and mobile has no offline mode at all. I found no documentation of terminals beyond that word list, no GPS or geofence statement, and corrections carry no approval step or audit trail — deleting on mobile takes two taps. 1 2 3 4

The Works Council Advocate

The vendor lists five capture methods — terminal, app, PC, tracker, NFC — and documents offline capture as a designed state in the desktop app, complete with sync notifications and conflict resolution when offline entries overlap online ones. The same help pages state offline capture is currently unavailable in the mobile app, however, and we found no public information on a correction workflow with approval or any record of who changed what. The homepage also sells automatic tracking of apps and documents as "100% private" while saying nothing about what is actually stored or who can read an individual's day — exactly the sentence I would need answered before any works agreement. 1 2 3 4

Terminal, app, PC, tracker and NFC are all listed as capture methods alongside desktop and mobile apps, and the desktop app tracks offline with sync notifications and conflict resolution on reconnect. But offline is calendar-only on the desktop and stated as unavailable in the mobile app, and we found no public information on GPS or geofenced check-in, or on a bulk correction workflow with an audit trail of who changed what. 2 1 3 4

The Field Supervisor

The vendor lists terminal, NFC and a hardware tracker beside app and PC, and the desktop app records offline with sync notifications and conflict handling on reconnect — but the vendor's own help pages state offline capture exists only in the desktop app, only in the calendar, earlier entries are locked until you are back online, and the mobile app is left out entirely. That is offline as a degraded state, not a designed one, and I found no public information on how a terminal behaves when the line is down. Corrections are user edits on a phone; I found no public information on an approval workflow or a trail of who changed what. 2 3 4

The Skeptic

Desktop and mobile apps are documented in real detail — manual entries by long-press, editing, deletion with confirmation, a live tracking drawer — and the desktop app does capture offline, though only in the calendar view, with entries locked until reconnection and conflicts resolved by hand. The only hint of shared capture is a one-word marketing list reading Terminal, App, PC, Tracker, NFC, with nothing behind it, and we found no public information on GPS or geofenced check-in, or on an approval step when a correction is made. 1 2 3 4

Overtime gets real treatment — calculation bases, three compensation routes including pay-out and carry-over, and a mandatory note when an admin adjusts a balance — and the imprint claims all DACH legal requirements are fulfilled. That claim carries no substance in what we saw: we found no public information on break rules, daily maximum or eleven-hour rest checks, a retention period, or an export shaped for an inspection, which is what a BAG-duty record actually needs. 1 2 5

Report an error

The Payroll Officer

Overtime is managed as a balance per folder with pay-out, time off in lieu or carry-over, adjustments restricted to Owners and Admins with a mandatory note, and leave automatically reduces the day's tracked working hours — that is a time account, at least. But I found no public information on break handling, the 8/10-hour daily maximum, the 11-hour rest period, record retention, or any positioning toward the German recording duty; ISO 27001 speaks to security, not working-time law. 2 5 6

Report an error

The Works Council Advocate

What is documented is a time-account: overtime calculated on working hours or total time tracked, compensated by pay-out, time off in lieu or carry-over, adjusted only by Owners/Admins with a mandatory note. Around the ArbZG itself we found no public information — nothing on break handling, the 8/10-hour daily maximum, the 11-hour rest period or a retention period — and the line "All legal requirements in the DACH region fulfilled" is marketing copy that maps no feature to any statute. A time entry can be deleted from the mobile app with a confirmation, and we found no public information on change history or tamper-evidence, so I could not co-sign this record for an inspection. 2 3 5

The Field Supervisor

Working hours and overtime are real here — calculation based on working hours or total tracked, three compensation types, and balance adjustments restricted to owners and admins with a mandatory note — and the vendor claims all DACH legal requirements are fulfilled. But I found no public information on break rules, daily maximum hours, rest periods or a retention period, and a marketing line is not a record that survives an inspection. 1 2 5

The Skeptic

The compliance claim is a single marketing line — all legal requirements in the DACH region fulfilled, ISO 27001 certified — and it names no feature that makes it true. What the pages do show is overtime calculated against working hours with three compensation types and a mandatory note, plus leave entries automatically reducing the day's working hours; we found no public information on break rules, the daily maximum, rest periods, retention, or tamper-evident history — and the mobile instructions describe deleting a time entry outright. 2 3 5 6

Leave is handled properly — pending requests with approval by owners and admins, per-user quotas, carry-over of time off in lieu, workspace-wide company and public holidays, and working hours auto-reduced by a leave day. But quotas are set by hand with an unlimited default rather than automatic entitlement, holidays are entered manually rather than per-location calendars, and we found no public information on any shift or duty roster, which for my operation is the half of attendance that decides everything. 5 6 7

Leave requests with approval on Team/Enterprise plans, custom leave types with per-user quotas, workspace-wide company and public holidays, PDF export and a subscribable leave calendar — and time off in lieu can be carried over with quota adjustments in days. Entitlements are entered by hand with unlimited as the default quota, and I found no public information on a sickness workflow or any shift and duty roster; approval notifications are as close as the evidence gets to planning. 5 6 7

The Works Council Advocate

Leave is genuinely built in: typed entries with per-user quotas, a pending/approved workflow reserved to Owners/Admins, workspace-wide company and public holidays, and working hours automatically reduced when a full-workday leave is booked. Quotas default to unlimited and are entered by hand rather than calculated, carry-over appears only as time-off-in-lieu balances adjusted in days, and we found no public information on sickness recording or on any shift and duty rostering. Absence yes, planning no. 5 6 7

Leave requests carry pending status, admin approval and notifications, quotas are set per member or as a workspace default, workspace-wide public and company holidays can be published, and time off in lieu can be carried over with balance adjustments.

I found no public information on any shift or duty rostering, so a foreman planning a week has nothing to work with here. 5 6 7

Leave is genuinely handled: types are customizable, quotas set per user, requests pend until an owner approves them, carry-over of time off in lieu is adjusted in days, and workspace-wide public and company holidays land on every member's calendar automatically.

Billable flags, folders with activities and tags, filtered reporting and time budgets with percentage and time-based alerts give a services team a working spine. The budgets are time budgets only — we found no public information on rate cards by person or role, money-based budgets, billing approval, or an invoice-ready handoff, so revenue still gets rebuilt outside the tool. 1 3 8 10

The payroll story is generic files and a promise: CSV, XLSX and PDF exports with selectable columns, plus a claim that payroll-relevant data is prepared exactly as payroll needs it. We found no public information on a named payroll system such as DATEV, a defined payroll format, surcharge handling for nights, Sundays and holidays, or a lock step before transmission. 1 2 10

The Payroll Officer

The captured pages promise payroll-relevant data prepared exactly as payroll needs it, yet the only concrete path is a CSV or XLSX export with selectable columns and a decimal or hours-minutes-seconds time format. No payroll system is named, no defined format exists, and I found no public information on night, Sunday or holiday surcharges, a lock step before transmission, or corrections after the close — the pay-out option on overtime is the one payroll-shaped detail. This is the spreadsheet someone retypes. 2 5 10

The only payroll statement is that "payroll-relevant data is prepared exactly as payroll needs it", while the documented path is a general export to CSV, XLSX or PDF with selectable columns and time-format options — a file someone else maps by hand.

Pay-out exists as one of three overtime compensation types, which is a balance concept, not a transmission. 2 5 10

The imprint promises an EU server location and ISO 27001 certification, which is the right direction. But that is marketing copy with no confirmation it is the contractual default for every customer, and we found no public information on the contracting entity's jurisdiction or a single named subprocessor — for a 200-person workforce's time data that is not a chain of custody. 2

An EU server location is asserted in marketing copy alongside ISO 27001 certification, but I found no contractual terms confirming it as the default, and neither the contracting entity's jurisdiction nor its ownership is stated anywhere across the Timeular, EARLY and TimeTac names. No subprocessor list is published. That is EU hosting as a promise with everything else unknown. 2

EU server location and ISO 27001 certification appear in homepage marketing copy, with no contractual terms establishing whether the EU location is the default for every customer, and we found no public information on the data-centre provider.

We found no public prices at all — plan names like Personal, Personal Pro and Team appear in the help pages, but no per-user figure, billing period or price for the tracker or terminals.

Not a single price is public: plan names surface only through budget limits and feature scopes, the visible commercial terms are a 30-day trial with no credit card, and a claim of no hidden costs sits on pages that show no costs at all.
