The free time clock that checks the hats at the fence.
Geofenced clock-ins, an audit-proof timesheet, and team chat in English y español — free forever for small builders. No paper timesheets. No end-of-week guessing. No per-seat fees, ever.
iOS first · Android follows · Built for crews of 2–50
Three simple dashboards, named for the hats already on your jobsite — no training manual required.
Every site, every crew, one live view. Who's on site right now, hours as they happen, and payroll-ready exports — generated on your phone, not chased on Friday.
Your site, your crew. See who's in, approve hours with a tap, and broadcast to the whole crew — Hatcheck translates it into each person's language.
One giant button — or none at all. Walk through the fence and you're clocked in; walk out and you're clocked out. Your hours today and this week, in your language, zero training.
CLOCK INA magic link signs you in — no passwords, no credit card, no sales call.
≈ 60 secondsDrop a pin on the jobsite and size the circle. That fence is your time clock.
≈ 2 minutesCrossing the fence clocks them in — phone in pocket, app closed. Walking out clocks them out. GPS lies? A manual punch with a reason, approved by the White Hat.
AutomaticApproved hours become a clean payroll export, generated on the Super's own device. Payroll done before the coffee's cold.
≈ 4 minutesEvery punch, approval, and hour lives on your crew's own devices — chained together entry by entry, so nobody (not even the boss) can quietly edit yesterday. Exports are generated locally, on your hardware. Our servers only ever see sign-in emails and anonymous counts: never your logs, never your crew's location history.
“We can't hold your data hostage, because we never have it.”Sticky, not tricky — no dark patterns, no streak-shaming. Ever.
15 founding builders get in first. Founding badge on your company page, first say in what we build next, and a direct line to the Lab while we harden Hatcheck with real crews on real sites.
Hatcheck is free because local businesses sponsor libraries through Inklings Book Club — founding builders get the first invitation to do the same in their own town. An invitation, never an obligation.
