Time Tracking App for iPhone — Without the App Store

October 26, 2026 · 2 min read

You don’t always need the App Store to put a business app on an iPhone. Clocknico runs as a web app that you add to the iPhone home screen in a few taps — it then opens full screen with its own icon and can send notifications, just like an app from the store. Here’s how it works and what you get.

Install Clocknico on iPhone in 30 seconds

  1. Open app.clocknico.com in Safari — or scan the QR code on our download page with the iPhone camera.
  2. Log in with your company code.
  3. Tap Share (the square with the arrow), then Add to Home Screen → Add.
  4. Open Clocknico from the new icon and tap Enable when it offers notifications.

Notifications on iPhone need iOS 16.4 or newer and work when the app is opened from the home screen.

What you can do on the iPhone

  • Start and stop the timer on a project and task, or add time manually.
  • Close tasks right from the tracker or your calendar with ✓ Done.
  • My calendar — day, week or month: tasks due, client meetings, time off, free time and booked work.
  • My QR code — pick your working time and clock in at the kiosk at the entrance.
  • Clock in online when you work from home.
  • Time off — request leave and see your remaining days.
  • CRM — log a call or a meeting while you’re still in the car park.
  • Notifications for new tasks, scheduled work, approvals and timer reminders.

Why a web app instead of the App Store?

  • Always up to date — every new feature is there the moment it’s released, no update to install.
  • Nothing to approve — your team installs it in seconds, even on company-managed phones that allow Safari.
  • Same account everywhere — the iPhone, the Android app and the desktop browser all show the same data.

Android too

On Android, Clocknico is a regular app you can download from our download page, with home-screen shortcuts to My QR and the Timer.

Clocknico is free for teams of up to 5 users with every feature. Create your free company account.
