For the people who were never going to open a laptop
Most of your workforce does not sit in front of a computer. The mobile app covers what they actually need — punching in, applying for leave, submitting a receipt — and what their managers need, which is approving it without waiting until Monday.
Punch From The Phone
Clock in and out with the workplace recorded. Where your policy requires it, location is captured — consent-gated and bounded by the shift, never all day.
Apply And Track
Leave, expenses and punch corrections raised from the phone, with balances and status visible without asking anyone.
Approve In The Queue
Managers clear what is waiting from wherever they are. Approvals are the thing that most often holds up payroll.
Install-free Option
Klok runs as an installable web app, so a phone with a browser is enough — no app-store rollout to manage across a factory floor.
Built for the majority of your workforce
In most Indian SMBs the people who sit at a computer are a minority. Technicians, drivers, field staff, store assistants and shop-floor workers do not have a desk, and an HR system reachable only through a browser on a laptop is, for them, not reachable at all.
The mobile app covers what they actually need: punching in and out, applying for leave, seeing a payslip, submitting a claim, and — for supervisors — clearing an approval queue between other work.
Install-free where installing is the obstacle
Asking a hundred workers to install an app is a real project: storage, versions, phones that are shared, and a rollout that takes weeks. Klok runs as an installable web app, so it can be reached from a link and pinned to the home screen without an app store.
Where a store install is preferred, that works too. The point is that the install should not be the reason attendance stays on paper.
Written for the phone that exists
Not the latest phone. Screens are light, work on a poor connection, and are laid out for a thumb rather than a mouse — because the alternative is a system that technically covers everyone and is used only by the office.
What a non-desk employee does
Punch
In and out, from the phone, with the timestamp captured as it happens.
Apply
Leave, claims and corrections, in plain language if they prefer.
Check
Payslip, leave balance, and the status of anything they have submitted.
Approve
Supervisors clear their queue from the same phone, between other work.
Mobile App FAQs
Is location tracked all the time?
No, and it cannot be quietly switched to always-on. Location is captured only where your policy enables field tracking, only within shift hours, and only after the employee has given consent that is recorded in the product — three conditions, all required. Employees are people, not assets with SIM cards; silent tracking is not a feature we will build, and the boundedness is enforced in code, not policy.
Do employees need to install anything?
No. Punching, applying and approving run in the browser on an entry-level Android — no app store, no download, no training session, no version to be behind on. Adoption is where workforce software dies, and every installation step kills a percentage of it; the punch screen is one button in the employee's own language, which is why it actually gets used.
Does it work in the employee's own language?
Ten languages ship — including Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi and Tamil — and the employee chooses their own, independent of what the office uses. A workforce product in English only excludes precisely the people who punch, apply and claim the most. For a plant or field workforce this is not a nice-to-have; it is the difference between self-service working and HR fielding the same hundred questions.
What happens with a patchy network?
The punch is captured with its timestamp at the moment it happens and reconciles when connectivity returns — the register records when the person punched, not when the network cooperated. For genuinely offline sites, the biometric device import covers the gap through the same register, so one source of truth survives both bad networks and no networks.
What can managers do from the phone?
The things that otherwise wait for a desk: approve leave and claims, see who is in today, fix the exception that would otherwise become a payroll correction. Approvals carry the same chains, cover and escalation as the web — a phone approval is not a side door around policy, it is the same door made faster.
Is the phone experience billed separately?
No. Mobile access is how the product is meant to be used, not an add-on — billing stays per active employee for the modules you run, and whether someone punches from a browser, a phone or a biometric import changes nothing on the invoice. Charging extra for the channel your workforce actually has would be charging for adoption itself.
