About Hours
Hours is a small time log for teams. People record when they came in and when they left, day by day across a week. Whoever runs the team gets a weekly roll-up: who has logged, who hasn't, and the totals.
It's built for teams of 5 to 50 that have been tracking hours in a shared spreadsheet, a group chat, or someone's memory, and would like to stop chasing people for it. People see only their own time. Team admins see their team. Logging takes seconds on a phone, and there's no app to install.
What Hours is not
These are boundaries, not missing features. Crossing one would take a deliberate decision, written down first.
- Not tied to your employer. Hours is an independent ReboundMan tool. A team's name is set by that team's admin (a team logo and colors are coming), and Hours ships nobody else's logos or marks.
- Not payroll, and not a timecard of record. No pay rates, salaries, overtime math, pay periods, or approval of hours. Hours stops at complete.
- Not HR software. No time-off balances, leave requests, shift scheduling, or performance data.
- Not surveillance. No GPS, geofencing, location from your connection, screenshots, activity monitoring, or device fingerprinting. A trip's destination is whatever the person types.
- Fine to use for a while and then stop. Data is kept 13 months by default, and when a team is done, a team admin emails us and we delete the team and everything in it.
Who makes it
Hours by ReboundMan. ReboundMan is an independent software shop that builds small tools for specific jobs, and Hours is one of them. There's more at reboundman.com.
Hours is in early access: free while it takes shape with its first teams. To ask about a team of your own, or to ask anything else, email jeff.james@hotmail.com. A person reads every one.
