HolyElk desktop app: the “Today” view with running work time, break reminder and day timeline

Made for the whole team

For employees

  • Clock in, break, clock out in one click – your running time always in the menu bar
  • Timely reminders before a break is due and before the 10-hour limit
  • Request vacation, sick leave with a certificate, home office and time corrections
  • Shifts, team absences and public holidays in a weekly calendar
  • Time journal and export to Excel, CSV or PDF

For admins

  • Live presence: who is in, who isn't
  • Request inbox – approve or reject in one click, notified when something new arrives
  • Add employees, manage target hours and vacation, reset passwords
  • Working Time Act checks and target-vs-actual per employee
  • Pair terminals and manage company settings

Billing, shift planning and the DATEV export stay in the admin portal.

Ready in three steps

  1. 1Download & install
  2. 2Sign in with your email, or company ID and username
  3. 3Done – HolyElk lives in the menu bar; ⌥⌘K or Ctrl+Alt+K opens it from anywhere

What a browser can't do: break and 10-hour reminders as notifications, screen time straight from the operating system – across every app – and clocking in that keeps working without internet.

Transparent: each employee sees their own status — only presence and active/idle time, never programs, windows or content.
