Setup key

The value you set with wrangler secret put SETUP_SECRET.

Your Zoho API client

Open the Zoho API console, choose Add Client → Server-based Applications, and fill it in exactly like this:

API Console
Create New Client
Client Type Server-based Applications
Client Name Clocker
Homepage URL —
Authorized Redirect URIs —
CREATE

The redirect URI must match character for character, or Zoho refuses the connection. Zoho then shows a Client ID and Client Secret — paste them below.

Connect to Zoho Books

You will be sent to Zoho to approve access, then returned here. Make sure this exact redirect URI is registered on your Zoho client:

Create the modules

Creates the Users and Timesheet custom modules and their fields in Zoho Books, then reads them back to confirm.

Add the first user

This account is an admin and can add the rest from inside the app.

⏱ Clocker

Site time, straight into Zoho Books.

Your crew clocks in on their phones — on a roof, in a basement, with no signal — and the hours land in your own Zoho Books as time entries you can bill from. No second system to reconcile, no spreadsheets on a Friday.

Free for 30 days. Your data stays in your Zoho organisation.

📴

Works with no signal

Everything is stored on the phone first and sent when there is a connection. A basement does not cost anybody their afternoon.

📍

Knows where they are

The project is guessed from where the phone is standing, and learns from where each person has actually worked before. Clocking in is one tap.

🖥

One screen for the whole crew

Put a tablet or an old PC on the wall. Everybody types their own PIN — no names on the screen — and it locks itself again seconds later.

€

Bills that write themselves

Turn unbilled time into vendor bills in Zoho Books: one bill per person, one line per entry, the project named on every line.

👥

Everyone sees their own

Staff see the projects they are assigned to. Managers see every hour on theirs. Admins see the lot.

🔒

Your Zoho, your data

Clocker connects to your own Zoho Books organisation and writes into modules it creates there. Nothing lives anywhere else.

Up and running in an afternoon

  1. Create your company. Pick a name; the sign-in link is made from it.
  2. Connect Zoho Books. One round trip through Zoho — Clocker builds the modules it needs.
  3. Add your crew. Each gets a link and a password to change on first use.

Clocker is a time clock for Zoho Books. Zoho and Zoho Books are trademarks of Zoho Corporation; this is not a Zoho product.

Set a kiosk PIN

Your company has a shared tablet. A PIN lets you clock in and out on it — it is the only thing the tablet needs to know who you are.

Billing

One bill per person, sent to their linked vendor — every time entry becomes a line on the bill with its project named.

Kiosk

A shared screen — a tablet on the wall, or a PC in the corner — that the whole team clocks in and out on. Each person types their own PIN, and it locks itself again a few seconds later.

Kiosk address — open this on the device:

seconds of no touching

Give people a PIN on the Users page — anyone without one cannot use the kiosk.

Paired devices

Kiosk PIN

Four to eight digits, typed on the kiosk to clock in. The PIN is how the kiosk knows who you are, so no two people in the company can share one — and nothing that repeats a digit or runs in order, since those are the first anybody tries.
