Overview
clockodo is a German digital time tracker built for service businesses such as agencies and IT companies. It records work and project time to the second in the browser, in apps or through a Chrome extension, ties each entry to a customer, service and hourly rate to separate billable from non-billable work, and keeps individual hour accounts that track target hours, overtime and absences. A drag-and-drop report builder turns the data into views for HR, project leads and management. An open REST API carries the data into accounting tools.
Our take
clockodo is a focused, EU-hosted time tracker aimed at European service firms that need clean records and work-time compliance rather than staff monitoring. Its strengths are the individual hour accounts for overtime, target hours and absences and a flexible report builder, which make it well suited to companies that bill by the hour and answer to German working-time rules. It is not an all-in-one suite: billing and payroll run through integrations rather than native modules, so teams wanting one tool for everything will lean on its API and partners. For straightforward, compliant tracking without screenshots or activity surveillance, it fits well.

How we check reviews
Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works and reaches us, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. We require a working email address and use it to come back to the author, so a review has a reachable sender rather than being anonymous. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on what they tell us, plus the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot have a review removed, cannot buy one, and cannot have one changed. Paid placement and a paid listing have no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
