Keep the workday in sight while it is happening

The current-shift widget keeps elapsed work and shift status close at hand. A quick look can answer the small but important question that comes up during a busy day: am I clocked in, on break, or finished?

That visibility matters when you switch between messages, maps, job sites, and personal tasks without wanting to repeatedly open the full tracker.

Live Activities can surface an active or paused shift on the Lock Screen and, on supported iPhones, in Dynamic Island views. Accessory widgets offer another compact place to check the day.

These surfaces make the tracker easier to notice at the exact moments when a running timer can otherwise disappear behind everything else demanding your attention.

Quick-log and current-shift widgets offer direct entry points for common tracking moments. The day summary gives a compact view of what has already been logged.

When you need to add detail, pause, finish, or edit a shift, the widget leads you back into HoursKit, where the full record remains available for review.

Widgets and Live Activities extend your HoursKit entries and keep them close at hand. The status you check from an iPhone surface remains tied to the jobs, pay estimates, past shifts, and reports in the app.

A glance during the day can help you catch a timer or break state before it turns into end-of-week cleanup.
