Each day lines up your schedule, the employer's clock, messages, and your own account. A schedule alone never counts as work.

Agree.

When every record matches, Takt says so and claims nothing.

Timecard export A, Sep 28:00 AM
Timecard export B, Sep 28:15 AM

Two employer records disagree. Takt asks you instead of picking one, and won't calculate this pay period until it's resolved.

Unsure.

When records conflict or a job has special rules, you get a clear reason instead of a guess.

What you can rely on

Built for a worker who has to trust every number.

Every finding links to evidence

Each difference shows the exact spot in each record it comes from, with the quoted text.

The math is plain code

No AI does arithmetic. Minutes and cents are counted exactly under published California overtime rules.

20 min × $18.50 × 1.5 ÷ 60 = $9.25

Originals stay original

Files are fingerprinted and never edited. Corrections sit beside what Takt read, not over it.

Private by default

No account, no analytics. Cases live in your browser. Only photos are sent out, once, to be read.

Checked, not claimed

Results from four synthetic test cases, re-run from the public repository.
