The Shiftdesk smartphone app at a glance

With the Shiftdesk mobile app, your team has everything important right on their smartphone: their own schedule, time tracking, leave requests, shift swaps, and messages. The app is free for **iOS** and **Android**.

App: schedule, shift swaps & open shifts

In the mobile app, every employee sees their personal schedule and can actively take part — set availability, swap shifts, and pick up open shifts.

App: tracking time & requesting absences

Employees record their working time directly on the smartphone, keep an eye on their hours account, and submit leave or sick notices — all without web access.

App: chat, announcements & push notifications

Through the app's **inbox**, the team stays in touch: direct messages, group chats, and official announcements — plus push notifications for everything important.

App: account, profile & settings

Under **Settings**, every employee manages their profile and personal app options.

The tablet time clock: overview

The tablet time clock turns an **iPad or Android tablet** into a fixed **clock-in terminal** at the entrance or in the break room. Employees clock in there with a **personal PIN** — without their own smartphone or login.

Setting up the tablet time clock (admin)

An administrator does the setup once: enable kiosk, install the app, pair the tablet, and configure behavior.

Clocking in and out at the terminal (PIN)

At the tablet terminal, employees clock in within seconds — without their own account, just with a selection and a PIN.

Getting and managing your kiosk PIN

The **kiosk PIN** is a personal, 4-digit number that employees use to identify themselves at the [tablet time clock](/dashboard/help/tablet-stempeluhr-ueberblick).
