Manual entries

Turn a missed timer into a complete work record

There are plenty of ordinary reasons a shift never gets timed: work begins during a rush, your phone is in a locker, or you notice the missing entry after the day is over.

HoursKit gives you a practical way to add the shift from the details you know. A manual entry sits beside timed work with the same job, break, and pay details, so one missed tap does not leave a gap in the week.

What you can do with HoursKit

Add a missed shift or correct a completed one with the job, break, and pay details that explain the hours.

Add the shift while the day is still clear

Enter the date and time range for a missed clock-in, an unrecorded client visit, or a shift that began before you opened the app. Capture a morning retail shift, an evening delivery route, or an afternoon appointment after the fact without reducing it to a loose note. The shift takes its place beside the rest of the week.

That is useful for a one-off exception as well as a whole day you forgot to start.

Keep the details that explain the hours

Choose the relevant job and add the details that explain the hours: task, tags, unpaid break minutes, paid status, and special pay settings.

A corrected shift can still answer the practical questions—what work was this, which client did it belong to, and why does this day look different from the one before it?

Clean up completed shifts with confidence

Manual entry also handles the small corrections that keep your hours honest.

Update an end time after a long handoff, add a break you forgot to pause for, move a shift to the job it actually belonged to, or correct the task label before the week gets away from you. The entry can grow more accurate as the facts become clear.

Keep exceptions beside ordinary shifts

A manual shift belongs in the same list as a timer-based shift. Filter it by job, task, tag, or date alongside the rest of your hours, then include it in a PDF or XLSX export if that is the record you need. Exceptions do not have to live in a second spreadsheet.

One timeline makes it much easier to see that a missing timer was fixed.
