What each app does

App	Description
Time tracking	Track hours with a timer or enter them by hand, against any task or project – including the timer in the top bar.
Projects & tasks	Organise work into clients, projects and tasks, with sections, boards and lists.
Timesheets	Each person’s week in one grid. Send it for review, approve it, and lock approved time so only admins can change it.
Reports	Build reports on where time and money went, save them, schedule delivery and export the results.
Work schedules	Recurring hours that set what each person is expected to work, and what their timesheet is measured against.
Time Clock	Your team can record their hours at work each day without logging time on specific tasks.
Time Off	Track vacations, sick leave and any other PTO type, with policies, balances and public holidays.
Resource Planner	Allocate people across projects, monitor capacity, and see when they free up for new work.
Location rules	Require people to be on an office network, or at a named place, before they can clock in, track time, or submit.
Invoices	Create invoices from tracked time and expenses, then record what clients pay.
Expenses	Log expenses along with time, attach receipts, reimburse people and make sure it is all invoiced accurately.
Budgets & profitability	Set a budget per project and watch cost, billable value and margin against it.
Client portal	Give clients a read-only view of their projects, approvals and invoices.
Calendar	Keep planned blocks and Google Calendar in step, both ways.
Webhooks & API	Send workspace events to your own systems over HTTPS.

What switching an app off does

Nothing is ever deleted.

App	What happens when it is off
Time tracking	Timers and time entry are hidden everywhere, including the top bar. Every hour already recorded is kept; timesheets and reports stop gaining new ones.
Projects & tasks	Clients, projects and tasks are hidden, and nothing new can be created against them. Everything already recorded is kept.
Timesheets	The weekly timesheet and its reviews are hidden, and nothing new is submitted or approved. Time carries on being tracked, and everything already approved stays approved.
Reports	Reports and scheduled deliveries are hidden and stop being sent. Saved reports are kept.
Work schedules	Schedules are hidden and timesheets stop showing expected hours. Saved schedules are kept.
Time Clock	The clock and timecards are hidden. Recorded sessions are kept, and missing clock-out reminders stop.
Time Off	Time off is hidden and new requests stop. Balances and past requests are kept, and accrual pauses.
Resource Planner	The planner is hidden and blocks stop syncing to calendars. Planned work is kept.
Location rules	Location rules stop applying straight away and everyone can clock in and submit from anywhere. Your rules, the people they cover, and the history are all kept.
Invoices	Invoices are hidden and stop being created, sent or chased. Every invoice and payment is kept.
Expenses	Expenses are hidden and stop being added to invoices. Logged expenses and receipts are kept.
Budgets & profitability	Budget figures and threshold alerts are hidden on projects. Tracked totals keep building, so the numbers are right the moment you switch it back on.
Client portal	Clients can no longer sign in to the portal. Their comments, approvals and uploads are kept.
Calendar	Syncing stops in both directions. Events already in Google Calendar stay there, and connections are kept.
Webhooks & API	Endpoints stop receiving events. Anything that happens while it is off is queued and delivered when you turn it back on. Configuration and delivery history are kept.

Location rules is the emergency exit. A mistyped address range can stop a whole company clocking in. Switching the app off restores everyone immediately and keeps every rule intact for the fix.

Dependencies both ways

Dependencies are enforced in both directions:

Switching an app on pulls in whatever it needs. Turning on Time Clock turns on Work schedules too, because expected hours and absence come from a schedule.
Switching an app off takes its dependents with it. Turning off Projects & tasks would take Time tracking, Timesheets, the Planner, Invoices, Expenses, Budgets, the Client portal and the Calendar with it.

The confirmation shows you what else will move before anything happens.

The dependency chains

Chain	Reading
Projects & tasks → Time tracking → Timesheets	A time entry needs something to record against. A timesheet totals time entries.
Work schedules → Time Clock	Expected minutes and absence detection come from the schedule.
Projects & tasks → Resource Planner → Calendar	A planned block is allocated to a project. There is nothing to mirror to Google without blocks.
Projects & tasks + Time tracking → Budgets	A budget sits on a project and is consumed by tracked time.

App off vs not on your plan

These look nothing alike once you know the difference.

Common questions

Which apps are off when I start?

Two. Time Clock and Location rules are opt-in, because both change how a team works day to day.

Can I switch an app off for one person?

No. An app is a workspace-wide switch. To limit one person, use their role or a per-person permission override.

Does switching apps off reduce my bill?

No. Pricing is per seat, not per app.

What happens to webhook events while the app is off?

They queue. Nothing is dropped. Switch Webhooks & API back on and the queued events deliver.
