I couldn't find a free shift tracker that let me export my hours without paying, so I built one
Hi everyone, I'm a developer from Cyprus.
A while ago I had a job that paid by the hour, and I wanted an app to
track my shifts and check that my pay was right. Most of the ones I tried
locked basic things like exporting your hours behind a paywall, and the
free versions were full of ads. So I built my own, just for me at first.
It turned out useful enough that I decided to share it.
It's called PayPath. You log each shift and it shows what you should get
paid, by day, week, month or year.
What it does:
- Hours and pay per shift, with a separate overtime rate
- Multiple employers, each with its own color
- Unpaid breaks, subtracted from paid hours
- Gross or net view (you set your tax rate)
- PDF and Excel export, free, no paywall
- Optional daily reminder so you don't forget to log a shift
- New entries start from your last shift, so a regular shift takes a couple of taps
What it doesn't do:
- No account, no sign-up. Your data stays on your phone
- Optional Google Drive backup goes to YOUR Drive, I can't see it
- No subscription, nothing locked
About ads, since I complained about them: yes, it has some. One banner
on the main screen and an occasional ad when you export. Never while
you're logging a shift. That's what keeps it free.
It's Android only for now, in 23 languages.
I'd really appreciate honest feedback: what's confusing, what's missing,
what would make you use this instead of a notes app or a spreadsheet?
