Punch Assist is the shift assistant that moves your finish time when you take a break, works from your notification, and keeps every hour private on your phone.
Punch in from the app, the notification, a home-screen widget or a Quick Settings tile. Began before you opened the app? Choose your scheduled start, half an hour ago, or any time you pick on a wheel. The countdown follows.

Then the day counts itself down.
A calm countdown, a sun that crosses the sky as your shift passes, and a finish time you never have to work out. It keeps counting with the app closed, because the timer lives in the notification.

Take a break. Your finish time follows.
A break pauses your work and moves your finish time later by exactly the same amount, so lunch is never counted as lateness. The sun even tucks behind a cloud until you are back.

When your day ends, it ends.
Every shift is kept. See your week at a glance: hours against your target, your longest day, breaks and overtime, with target-met days, part days and overtime in colour. Forgot to punch out? Say when you finished.

Questions, answered.
Does it need an account or internet?
No. Punch Assist works fully offline and has no sign-in. Google Play is used only for purchases, and crash reports (optional) need a connection.
What if I forget to punch in or out?
For a missed punch-in, choose "Started earlier?" and pick when you really began. For a missed punch-out, tap Punch out and tell the app when you finished. You can also add or fix any shift from History.
How do breaks work?
A break pauses your work and moves your finish time later by the same amount, so lunch is never counted as lateness. Resume and the countdown carries on from where it paused.
Is my location tracked?
No. If you save Office and Home places and turn on Smart Mode, the app checks your location once, at the moment you punch in, while it is open. It never tracks you in the background.
Can I move to a new phone?
Yes. Back up to a file in Settings and restore it on the new phone. Android may also carry your shift history across through its own backup. Pro follows your Google account.
