Installation

From job to job. And no paperwork in the evening.

A breakdown at eight, a maintenance visit after lunch, an urgent job on the way home. You log your hours and drives while you still remember, and the office no longer has to call you about them.

Sound familiar?

Home, 7:30 pm. Today's job sheets still to fill in.

During the day you're with customers. The paperwork slides into the evening, or to the office calling you about it.

With Half5 it's logged before you get back in the van.

How it works in your field

Made for work on location.

The technician registers on the road, the planner approves, the office invoices. No job sheets getting lost.

In the app

You work. Half5 lines up your day.

The desktop app on your Mac or Windows PC notices which programs, websites, files, commits and AI sessions there were. Your calendar and phone add meetings, visits and drives. Half5 turns that into suggestions, one per block of work.

Your phone recognises your drives.

The Half5 app on iPhone or Android notices when you drive and prepares the trip with addresses and distance. You choose business, commute or private. The export is ready for your mileage log.

One calm look a week.

Managers see what each person logged per week, with leave and drives alongside. Approve, or decline with a reason. Someone else approves your own hours. The timeline behind those hours is not visible to them.

Privacy

Your day, your hours.

Drives and client visits your phone detects go on your own timeline: only on your own devices, end-to-end encrypted. The planner, the office and Half5 can't open it. The office only sees the hours and drives you submit.
