Waqti - A simple punch clock for hourly employees

Hey Product Hunt!

Waqti started with two local businesses. Today, I'm making it available to everyone.

A while ago, I helped two businesses in my city, a retail store and a daycare, each with around 25 to 30 employees.

Both needed something simple: a reliable way for employees to clock in and out on site, and for managers to keep track of hours without dealing with spreadsheets or paperwork.

So I built them a simple time clock. They put it on an inexpensive tablet in their staff room, where employees could easily clock in and out.

Nothing fancy. Just a tool that solved their problem.

They loved it. And that got me thinking: if it works this well for these two businesses, why not make it available to others?

That's how Waqti was born.

I took what I'd built, turned it into a standalone SaaS product, and kept the same philosophy: do one thing well, and keep it simple.

With Waqti:

• Employees clock in and out using a 4-digit PIN on a phone or shared tablet.

• Managers can review hours, correct missed punches, and see who's working.

• Timesheets are ready to export when it's time for payroll.

• No dedicated hardware or app installation required.

I'm not trying to build another all-in-one HR platform. I just want to make employee time tracking less of a headache for small businesses.

This is also a personal milestone: Waqti is the first SaaS product I'm launching under my software company, e3e.

Now comes the exciting part: getting it into the hands of more businesses and learning from their feedback.

If you manage hourly employees, how are you tracking their hours today? And what's the one thing you'd love to make easier?

Thanks for checking out Waqti!
