Show HN: A punch clock to help with hourly household workershttps://www.punchy.live/My wife & I have a housekeeper who works flexible days and hours during the week. She has other commitments, so she comes to our house when it works best for her, within “agreed reasonable hours” (she doesn’t come on the weekends, or before 8am).Both of us are usually working in our home offices when she shows up, so I needed a way to track her hours so I could pay her every 2 weeks. I was afraid of losing a piece of paper (especially to our dog as he is fond of those), so I started keeping track of her hours in a spreadsheet. At the end of each day, I’d scrub the driveway video from our security system to pick up the timestamps. Then for payday I’d add the hours, multiply by 60, add minutes, divide by 60, and multiply by her hourly rate. Then mark it paid in the spreadsheet.That worked OK, but it was a bit of a pain to use. There would be days when I would forget this process and the source-of-truth video would have aged out of the security system history. Then doing the base 60 math Aug 16, 2026 3:38 PM
