Set up ClockNeXt and find your way around.

Navigation

Open the menu from the top-left corner.

After signing in, tap the menu icon in the top-left of the app. The drawer contains Tracker, Schedule, History, Clients, Earnings, Reports, Referral, Notifications, and Settings. It also contains the dark-theme switch and Logout.

Quick start

Complete these steps before your first shift.

Tracker

Tracker is the main screen for recording a live shift.

1. If you have multiple companies, select the one you are working for. If you have one company, ClockNeXt uses it automatically.
2. Add an optional note describing the shift or task.
3. Tap Clock In when work starts.
4. Return to Tracker and tap Clock Out when the shift ends.

If today's Schedule has a planned shift, Tracker can show it with Start now. Tapping Start now clocks you in for that company and changes the action to End now. End now clocks out and moves the worked shift into History. If another shift starts soon while one shift is already active, Tracker can show the next shift but keeps it inactive until the current session is clocked out.

If there is no company yet, choose "Add company" from the company selector or open Clients from the menu.

Schedule

Schedule keeps planned shifts separate from hours you have actually worked.

1. Schedule opens with All companies selected so you can see every pending shift. Select a company when you want to filter the list.
2. Choose Add manually to enter the date, start time, end time, and an optional note.
3. Choose Import Shifts to select a gallery image, take a photo, or upload a PDF. ClockNeXt scans the file and detects the shifts.
4. Review every detected shift, edit incorrect dates or times, remove unwanted rows, link each shift to a company, and confirm the import.

Pending schedules remain on the Schedule page until you confirm that they were worked. Use the action menu to edit, duplicate, or delete a schedule. Duplicate opens a new schedule with the same company, times, and note so you can change the date or time before saving.

For a shift that starts today, use Start now to clock in directly from Schedule. The button changes to End now, and ending the shift saves the worked time to History. If another shift starts soon while one shift is already active, ClockNeXt can show the next shift on Tracker but keeps it inactive until the current session is clocked out.

After the planned end time passes, the Mark completed button appears for schedules that were not started. Completing the schedule moves it to History using the planned start time, end time, company, and note. If you do not tap Start now, End now, or Mark completed, ClockNeXt moves unstarted ended schedules to History when the app next checks local schedules. A schedule that was started stays active until you end it yourself. History then feeds Earnings and Reports.

On the mobile app, Schedule Reminders can create local phone notifications one hour before the shift, five minutes before clock-in, and at the planned end time. If a started scheduled shift passes its planned end time and is still active, ClockNeXt can also remind you again after 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes. Adding or importing a schedule creates its reminders automatically. Editing reschedules them, while deleting, starting, ending, or completing the schedule cancels or replaces them as needed.

History

History shows completed shifts for a selected company and date range.

• Select a company before viewing its shifts when you have multiple companies. A single company opens automatically.
• Use the calendar control to limit the list to a pay period.
• Use Add to enter a shift manually when you forgot to clock in.
• Edit incorrect start times, end times, companies, or notes before calculating earnings.
• Tap the duplicate icon on a completed shift to open a new copy with the same times, company, and note. Change the date or time, then save it as a separate History entry.

Clients

Clients stores each employer or customer and the rules used to calculate that company's wages.

Tap a company to make it active. Use the edit icon to update its rules. If you only have one company, ClockNeXt uses it automatically. With more than one company, the company selector lets you switch between them.

Earnings

Earnings estimates gross pay, deductions, and net pay from your recorded shifts and client wage rules.

1. With multiple companies, select one company or view all companies. A single company is used automatically.
2. Select a date range matching your pay period.
3. Review total hours, gross wage, deductions, net wage, and the detailed rate breakdown.
4. Choose Import Shifts to add worked shifts from an image or PDF. Review the detected shifts and link each one to a company before saving them to History.
5. Export the earnings calculation as a PDF when needed.

Earnings uses completed work from History. Planned items under Schedule do not affect wage totals until the actual worked shift is recorded.

Reports

Reports creates a work-log file for one company and one selected date range.

• Select the target company when you have multiple companies, then choose the reporting period. A single company is used automatically.
• Confirm the displayed total hours and session count.
• Export PDF or Excel.
• Send the report using the device share menu when you want to share it with a supervisor or keep a copy elsewhere.

To send a report to a supervisor, first add the supervisor email in that company's Clients settings.

Referral

Referral displays your unique code and link. Use Share or Copy to send the invitation. The page also shows your qualifying referral count and reward rules.

Notifications

Notifications contains messages from ClockNeXt about your account and service. Admin broadcasts are shown as coming from ClockNeXt Team, not from an individual admin email. Pull down to refresh, open messages to mark them as read, use Mark all read, delete one message, or clear the inbox.

Settings

Recommended workflow

A simple routine for reliable wage checks.

1. Add upcoming shifts in Schedule when you know them, or clock in and out from Tracker every workday.
2. Use Start now and End now for today's scheduled shift when possible.
3. Review History weekly and correct missing or inaccurate shifts.
4. At the end of the pay period, select the same dates in Earnings and Reports.
5. Compare ClockNeXt's estimate with your payslip.
6. Export the report and keep a current local-data backup.
