Timon for Android

Quick summary

Timon is a free Android application by Trackwell hf that integrates with the Timon Time & Attendance system. It provides an easy way for staff to record work hours and for managers to monitor and approve those records. The app supports location-based clocking, task tracking, status updates for meetings, and direct messaging between employees and supervisors.

Capabilities for employees

• Log specific tasks and record how long you spend on each activity for clearer work tracking.
• Use GPS-enabled clock-in and clock-out so remote or traveling employees can register attendance accurately.
• Mark yourself as away for meetings so colleagues know when you’re unavailable.
• Check your personal timesheet within the app to review recorded hours and entries.
• Send notes or messages to your supervisor directly from the application.

Tools for managers and supervisors

• Inspect the team’s planned shifts and staffing roster to see upcoming coverage.
• Exchange messages with employees for clarifications or quick updates.
• Review and authorize timesheets submitted by team members to finalize payroll and records.

Alternative app to consider

• CamScanner (free) — a widely used mobile scanner app that some teams use to capture and share documents such as receipts or signed forms. While not a time-and-attendance system, it can complement workflows where scanned documentation is needed.

Benefits of using Timon

• Better visibility into how time is spent through task-level entries, helping with resource allocation.
• Simplified approval workflows for managers who need to validate and sign off on hours.
• Improved communication between staff and supervisors without switching platforms.
• Useful for mobile workforces thanks to GPS-enabled clocking and remote status updates.
