Getting Started with the Timecloud Mobile App
This guide walks you through downloading, logging in, and navigating the Timecloud mobile app for the first time.
Downloading the App
- Open the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android) on your device.
- Search for "Timecloud".
- Tap Install (or Get).
- Once installed, tap the Timecloud icon on your home screen to open the app.
Your company admin can also send you a download link directly from the web app.
What's in the Download Link Email
When your admin sends you the download link, the email includes everything you need to get started:
- Your name and email address — confirms who the invite is for.
- Your 4-digit PIN — use this to log in on the Employee tab.
- Company branding — your company's logo and colours so you know it's legitimate.
- Enabled features — a summary of what you can do in the app (e.g. shifts, leave requests, timesheets, rosters, forms, job approvals, announcements).
Keep this email handy — it has your PIN and login email ready to go.
Logging In
The login screen has two tabs — Employee and Manager — so you can pick the one that matches your role.
Employee Login
- Select the Employee tab.
- Enter your email address.
- Enter your 4-digit PIN.
- Tap Sign In.
Tap the eye icon next to the PIN field to show or hide your PIN.
Manager Login
- Select the Manager tab.
- Tap Sign In as Manager.
- A secure browser window will open — enter your email and password there.
- If your company has enabled multi-factor authentication (MFA), you will be prompted to complete the verification step (e.g. enter a code from your authenticator app).
- Once authenticated, you'll be returned to the app automatically.
Tick Remember me for 30 days before tapping Sign In to stay logged in longer.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
If your company has enabled MFA for managers:
- After entering your email and password in the secure browser, you will be prompted for a verification step.
- Open your authenticator app (e.g. Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator) to retrieve the one-time code.
- Enter the code and confirm to complete login.
- MFA is handled entirely within the secure sign-in browser — no separate screen required.
Employees who log in with a PIN are not prompted for MFA.
