Clockgauge Use case

Clockgauge for a small office

A small team does not need an enterprise platform.

Updated October 9, 2026·1 min read
Short answer

A small office can run the Clockgauge Host on one computer, connect staff on the office network without extra setup, and get timers, projects, reports and payroll balances without a per-user subscription. Back up regularly and keep the Host on during working hours.

A typical setup

  1. Install the Host on a desktop that stays on.
  2. Add people and give them codes.
  3. Create a few projects and tasks.
  4. Look at the Team page each morning and Reports each week.

Costs

Free for one employee; $199 once for the paid plan with the first year included, then $20 a year for up to 20 people. See pricing.

Keeping it simple

A small office usually needs three screens: Team each morning, Reports weekly, Payroll when paying hourly staff. Leave everything else at defaults until you have a reason to change it.

Questions people ask

Do staff need to be on the same network?

Not necessarily. They can connect from home with the company name and a code.

Try Clockgauge

Clockgauge is an employee and freelancer time tracker that runs on your own computer: timers, consented random screenshots, activity levels, clients, projects and tasks, budgets, payroll balances and reports, paid once instead of per user per month..
