Keep a Personal Record of Hours Worked | HourStamp
Frequently asked questions
- Where does HourStamp store my work records?
- On your device by default. No account is required, and you export a backup file manually.
- What does stamping a record actually freeze?
- Its device time, pay settings and day-level calculation. A stamp is not third-party trusted time.
- Can I share a summary of my hours?
- Yes. HourStamp Pro unlocks a shareable PDF personal record summary. It is a summary, not a legal determination.
- Does HourStamp show ads or offer loans?
- Neither. No loans and no ads.
The short answer
HourStamp keeps a trail rather than a total. Ledgers live on your device by default, no account is required, and you export a backup file manually.
Stamping and revisions
Stamping a record freezes its device time, pay settings and day-level calculation. Explicit later edits retain a revision entry, so a record that changes is visibly a record that changed rather than one that quietly disagrees with last month's export.
One boundary stated plainly: a stamp is not third-party trusted time. It is your device's record of a moment — useful for personal record keeping, not a notarised timestamp.
What the PDF is, and is not
Pro unlocks a shareable PDF personal record summary. It is a summary of your records, not a wage determination and not legal advice.
That distinction is the reason the export is worth reading carefully: it presents your ledger, and what it establishes is the calculation — not that the calculation is what you are owed.
What is free
The free tier includes logging, estimates, ledgers and statistics. No loans and no ads — for a tool that holds your income record, both would be the wrong trade.
