Punch Bot replaces Jibble. Clock in and out with /log commands, track breaks, and pull monthly reports — all in Slack. Every event posts to #attendance for full team visibility.

We were paying for Jibble. Nobody used it. People forgot to clock in. Forgot to clock out. Forgot it existed. The standalone-app model only works if the app is somewhere you already are — and our team was already in Slack all day.
So we cancelled Jibble and built Punch Bot in a weekend. Same model — clock in, clock out, breaks, reports. Different surface — Slack commands and a public #attendance feed. Adoption went from <30% to 100% the first week.
The best time-tracking app is the one your team already has open all day.
/log in starts a session. /log out ends it. /log break pauses the timer. /log resumepicks it back up. That's the whole vocabulary. No buttons, no menus, no app to install.
Every command posts to #attendancewith a timestamp, so the team gets full visibility without anyone having to ask “is X around today?”.
A break is a pause in the running timer. The session stays open, the clock stops counting billable time, and the team sees you're away. Resume when you're back. The break duration appears in the daily total so it's clear what was on-the-clock vs off.
On the first of each month, Punch Bot DMs the admin a clean monthly report — per-person hours, per-day breakdowns, breaks deducted, and a row-level audit trail. Drops as CSV for payroll import, or stays in Slack for a quick eyeball.
Forgot to clock out? /log adjust opens a small dialog asking for the corrected time and a reason. The original timestamp is preserved in an audit field — nothing gets quietly rewritten — and the corrected entry shows up in the next report.
Six things that make it more than a slash command.
Anything else: hello@practa.ai.
We did. The friction killed it. Standalone time-tracking apps live outside the tools you actually use, so they get forgotten. Punch Bot lives in Slack, where the team already is — clocking in is one slash command in the channel where you'd post 'morning' anyway.
Punch Bot auto-flags any session over 14 hours and posts a soft reminder in #attendance. The session can be edited after the fact via /log adjust, with a reason. The audit trail keeps the original timestamps.
Yes — monthly reports drop as CSV with per-person totals, breaks deducted, and a row-level audit trail. Goes straight into a payroll spreadsheet or import.
