Office time tracking — home office, hybrid, flexible hours

Part of the team in the office, part at home, one at a cafe, two on a trip. “Who came in today?” is the wrong question — “who’s working now?” is right. TimeHunter answers in real time.

Hybrid and home office — without suspicion

An office worker isn’t a warehouse hand — you don’t want a selfie at every Start tap. TimeHunter for offices uses the lightest method: Start/Stop button in the web panel or mobile app. No selfie, no GPS (unless the user opts in to “show I’m in the office”). Manage by outcome, not surveillance.

Web panel

Start/Stop from a laptop. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux — anywhere with a browser.

iOS + Android app

Work from cafes, trains, home. Live timer + notifications.

No photo or GPS by default

Office mode disables invasive methods. Trust, not surveillance.

Flexible hours — 7-15, 9-17 or 11-19

Many office firms have moved past “strict 8-16”. TimeHunter lets each employee start between 7:00 and 11:00 as long as they work 8h/day or 40h/week. The system doesn’t flag “lateness” for flexible workers — it just totals weekly hours.

Studies show flex hours raise productivity by 15-25% (Stanford 2024). TimeHunter supports both fixed and flexible models and lets you mix them — e.g. sales fixed 9-17 (clients call), IT flexible.

Leave system — no more “please approve” emails

Request in the app

Employee picks dates, leave type (annual/sick/parental), attachment. Request goes to the manager.

Multi-step approval

Manager → HR → admin (optional). 1-tap approval from phone. Employee gets a notification.

Auto-deducted balance

Employee sees “25 days annual leave, 3 taken, 22 left”.

Team calendar

Everyone sees who’s on leave when — easier to plan cover.

AI Assistant — ask your company in plain language

The “AI Assistant” addon lets you type in chat: “who was on home office last week?”, “how much overtime does Anna have in June?”, “show me lateness over 30 min in May”. AI understands PL/CS/EN, fetches company data, answers in 2 seconds. No reports, no clicking.

Google Calendar & Outlook integration

Each approved leave creates an event in the team’s Google Calendar / Outlook automatically. The team sees: “Anna — leave June 15-20”. No separate notifications, no “Anna, you had that meeting!”. Everyone sees and plans cover.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use TimeHunter for home office?
Yes. Employee taps Start/Stop from laptop or mobile app. GPS and selfie off by default — trust over surveillance. Manager just sees if the person is active and how many hours today.
Does the system require fixed work hours?
No. TimeHunter supports 3 models: fixed (8-16 for everyone), flexible (start 7-11, 8h/day), fully flexible (40h/week, no time constraints).
How does the leave workflow work?
Employee submits → manager approves → optionally HR/payroll → optionally admin. Each approval logged with time and user. Employee gets push notifications at every status change.
Can I connect to Google Calendar?
Yes. In settings enable the OAuth integration, provide the team calendar address. Each approved leave appears as an event (“Anna — Vacation”). Works with Outlook too.
Does the AI Assistant access my data?
AI accesses only anonymized metadata (hours, statuses, employee IDs) — no email content, no documents. Queries processed on EU servers (Frankfurt) with a local model, not OpenAI. Full GDPR compliance.
Does it work on Mac and Linux?
Yes. Web panel works in any browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Brave). Mobile apps on iOS and Android. No native Windows/Mac/Linux app (not needed — the browser is enough).
What about employees on a trip abroad?
The app works wherever there’s internet. Time zones are auto-detected (an employee in Berlin logs in CET, system shows hours in CET). Monthly report shows the time zone of each session.
How much for a 25-person office?
Start plan: €3.50 × 25 = €87.50/month. Pro plan (with AI and API): €4 × 25 = €100/month. Annual = 2 months free.
