Time tracking overview
Timeora records work in two complementary ways. Use the timer to describe what you worked on, and the punch clock to record when you were at work. Most organisations use both.

| Punch clock | When did I start, when did I stop, and how long was my break? | Attendance, working time rules, overtime balances. |
| Work time account | How does my worked time compare with my expected time? | Monthly balances, overtime, part-time schedules. |
| Absences | When am I away? | Holiday, sick leave and other planned absence. |
