Puntual records employee working hours and applies labor rules for the company's selected country. It is available on Android and the web, and staff can clock in on a phone or a shared entrance tablet using a name and PIN. The app stores clock-ins on the device first, allowing records to be made offline and synced later. Administrators can review daily entries, weekly and monthly totals, differences from expected hours, and monthly incidents. PDF and CSV exports include an annex for checking whether records were altered. The maker says clock-ins are linked with cryptographic fingerprints, timestamps are sealed by the server, and corrections add records rather than replacing originals. Optional location records where clock-in or clock-out happened, without continuous tracking. Puntual lists labor-rule settings for 23 EU countries and says it works worldwide. Its free Local Mode is for one employee, has no cloud sync, and includes basic PDF export. Paid options include a €4.99 per month subscription and a €9.99 one-time purchase; a 30-day trial is also available without a card or automatic charge.
