A standalone timekeeping and employee-pay web app for small businesses. Track time, manage pay rates, approve hours, and optionally connect to Project-Alpha — all in one clean, fast interface.
Alpha-Ledger handles the timekeeping and pay workflow that small businesses manage with spreadsheets and guesswork. Server-authoritative timers, approval workflows, and optional Project-Alpha integration — without the overhead of a full payroll system.
Employees clock in and out with server-authoritative timers. Track breaks, manage active sessions, and capture every minute accurately — no offline clock tricks, no manual edits.
Administrators review, approve, and freeze time entries with atomic precision. Approved hours lock the rate, duration, and amount — then flow directly into pay accruals.
Set business defaults, employee-specific rates, or project-level overrides. Rate precedence is automatic — project override, then employee rate, then business default.
Optionally connect one Alpha-Ledger business to one Project-Alpha business. Sync projects, people, and financial data through a durable REST integration — or run fully standalone.
AES-256-GCM encryption for credentials, mandatory admin TOTP, HttpOnly session cookies, CSRF protection, and rate-limited login. Built secure from the ground up.
Generate clean PDF reports of approved hours, pay accruals, and project summaries. Export data for accounting, payroll processing, or client billing.
Alpha-Ledger is designed for businesses with one to five employees who need more than a spreadsheet but less than a full enterprise payroll system.
Track time on job sites, assign hours to projects, and know exactly what to pay your crew each period.
Keep accurate records of hours worked per project. Approve time before it becomes pay, and export clean reports for billing.
Track billable and non-billable time across clients. Connect to Project-Alpha to sync project and financial data automatically.
If you pay people by the hour and want accurate, approved, exportable time records without a full payroll system — Alpha-Ledger fits.
Alpha-Ledger is actively being developed. Here's where we are and where we're headed.
Live timers, breaks, approval workflows, pay rate management, PDF reports, admin TOTP, and optional Project-Alpha integration.
Durable two-way synchronization with Project-Alpha for projects, people, and financial statuses. Inbox/outbox messaging with retry and reconciliation.
Mobile-first timer interface for field workers. Quick clock-in, break management, and project selection from any phone.
Structured exports for popular payroll processors. Approved hours flow directly into your payroll system without manual re-entry.
Manage multiple businesses or divisions from a single Alpha-Ledger instance with isolated data and independent settings.
