Apps decides which parts of TimeTracker your workspace uses. Turning an app off hides it for everyone and stops new entries. It never deletes anything. Find it at Settings → Apps.

​
What an app is

An app is a whole switchable area of the product – Invoices, Time Off, the Resource Planner. Switch one off and it disappears: its sidebar item goes, its screens go, and nothing new can be created in it. Everything already recorded stays exactly where it is. Switch the app back on and it is all still there.
An app being off is not the same as a feature not being on your plan.
  • Off – hidden entirely. It leaves the sidebar. This is your choice.
  • Not on your plan – it stays visible, and shows an upgrade prompt instead of working.
Two different gates, two different fixes.

​
All 15 apps

Apps are grouped as Work, Money and Connections, in that order.

​
Work

​
Money

​
Connections

Reports is on every plan. The app itself is never plan-locked. What a plan tiers is the depth – custom reports, scheduling and export are Pro.

​
What each app does, and what you lose

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 so you can fix it.

​
Apps that need other apps

Some apps cannot work alone. Time Clock needs Work schedules, because expected minutes and absence detection come from the schedule. Budgets needs both Projects & tasks and Time tracking, because a budget is set on a project and consumed by tracked time. You do not have to work out the order. The switch does it for you, in both directions:
  • Turning an app on also turns on whatever it needs.
  • Turning an app off also turns off whatever needed it.
Each row tells you before you click. A row reads either “Turning this off also turns off Timesheets.” or “Turning this on also turns on Work schedules.” – so you know what a single click will move.
Nothing is hidden behind a disabled switch. Projects & tasks has six dependents, and it is the app most worth being able to switch off, so the page tells you what comes with it rather than refusing the click.

​
How to switch an app

1

Open Apps

Go to Settings → Apps. The first card shows a count, such as 12 of 15 on.
2

Read the row

Each row gives the app’s name, what it does, and a note if the click will move other apps too.
3

Flip the switch

The switch moves at once. If the server refuses the combination, it moves back.
4

Check the confirmation

A message appears saying what happened, what you lose, and what else moved. It carries an Undo button.

​
Undo

Every switch-off offers Undo. Undo puts back the exact state of everything that moved, not only the switch you clicked. Turning an app off is reversible and destroys nothing, so it does not ask you to confirm – it gives you a fast way back instead.

​
What each row can look like

That last row matters after a downgrade. Apps default to on, so a workspace on Free can have paid apps still running. You keep the switch, and it only travels one way – to off. You cannot switch on an app your plan does not cover.
The count on the first card reads, for example, 12 of 15 on · 3 available on a paid plan. The second number only counts apps your plan does not cover and that are not already running.

​
Example

Northwind Studio does not clock people in and out, so Time Clock is off – it is off by default anyway. Maya decides to try it. She opens Settings → Apps and finds Time Clock under Work. The row says “Turning this on also turns on Work schedules.” She flips the switch. Both apps come on together, and the confirmation names Work schedules so nobody wonders where it came from. Two weeks later the team decides against it. Maya switches Time Clock off. Work schedules stays on, because nothing forced it off – it was only pulled in as a requirement, and timesheets still use it.

​
Permissions

Seeing the list is open on purpose. It is the fastest answer to “why has Invoices disappeared”. If you cannot change anything, the page tells you that only owners and admins can.

​
Common questions

No. Not one of the 15 apps deletes anything. The area is hidden and stops accepting new entries. Everything already recorded is kept, and it is all there when you switch the app back on.
Your plan does not include it. The row shows a plan badge and a View plans button instead of a switch. See Plans and features.
Because they depend on each other. Turning an app on brings in what it needs; turning one off takes its dependents with it. The row warns you first, and the confirmation names everything that moved.
No. An app is on or off for the whole workspace. To limit one person, use roles and capabilities instead. See Roles and capabilities.
Time Clock and Location rules. Everything else is on by default. Both are deliberate opt-ins – neither should land in everyone’s sidebar unannounced.
They are queued, not dropped. When you turn Webhooks & API back on, the queued events are delivered.
