Clock in from your wrist — Apple Watch and Wear OS.
LotHours is one of the only employee time clocks that runs on both Apple Watch and Wear OS. Clock in, clock out, and start a break right from the watch.
Free apps for employees on the App Store and Play Store.
A smartwatch clock-in app for employees — on both platforms.
Most workforce time clocks have no smartwatch app at all. Among the handful with an Apple Watch app, none also ship Wear OS. LotHours does both, so every employee can clock in from the watch they already wear.
watchOS and Wear OS
Both platforms ship in LotHours — a combination almost no competing time clock offers. Your team clocks in from whichever watch they wear.
Clock state on the wrist
A glance shows whether you're clocked in and how long you've been on shift. Clock in or out without touching your phone.
Breaks from the watch
Start and end a break — including meal breaks — straight from the watch face, so break tracking stays accurate.
iPhone Live Activities
During a shift the iPhone lock screen shows a Live Activity with live clock status, so the shift is always one glance away.
How watch clocking works.
We're honest about the mechanics: watch clocking runs through the employee's paired phone. The phone carries the secure login and the location used for geofencing; the watch is the fast control surface on the wrist.
- Install LotHours on the phone and pair the watch app — Apple Watch or Wear OS.
- From the watch, see clock state, clock in or out, and start or end a break.
- The phone confirms the clock event and applies your geofence and break rules.
- On iPhone, a Live Activity keeps the shift on the lock screen.
Smartwatch clock-in, answered
Does LotHours have an Apple Watch clock-in app?+
Yes. The watchOS app shows clock state and unread messages and lets employees clock in, clock out, and start or end a break from the wrist. The iPhone also shows a Live Activity on the lock screen during a shift.
Does LotHours work on Wear OS watches too?+
Yes. LotHours ships a Wear OS app alongside the watchOS app — which is rare. Most competitors have neither smartwatch app; among the few with Apple Watch, none also support Wear OS.
Do I need my phone for the watch to work?+
Yes — to be accurate about it: watch clocking works through the paired phone. The phone holds the location and login, and the watch is a fast, glanceable control surface for clocking and breaks.
What can an employee do from the watch?+
See whether they are clocked in, clock in or out, start or end a break, and check unread team messages — without pulling out their phone.
