Check-in and Check-out

Clocky's core workflow records a work session between /checkin and /checkout.

Start a session

/checkin

Paid servers can create projects in the dashboard. When projects are available, select one with the optional project field during check-in.

Already working? Use /switch project:Website to change projects while staying checked in. See Projects and Switching.

The plan's active-user limit counts members who started at least one work session in that server during the preceding 30 days. Clocky's hosted production service enforces the limit; SEAT_ENFORCEMENT_ENABLED=false is available only as an explicit self-hosted monitoring rollout.

Check status

/status

The private response shows whether you have an active session or break in the current server and includes the available current-session details.

End a session

/checkout

Clocky closes the current server's active session and records its duration. Break time is tracked separately from worked time on servers where breaks are enabled.

After switching projects, the checkout response shows the final work segment. Use /stats for total worked time and /history for the individual project segments.

Auto-checkout

Clocky periodically closes sessions that exceed the server's configured auto-checkout value. The default is 12 hours.

Switching to a different project restarts this countdown from the new work segment. Selecting the current project leaves it unchanged.

Paid server administrators can customize the value from 0 to 24 hours in dashboard Settings; 0 disables automatic checkout. Free servers use the 12-hour default.

Admin action

A server administrator can close a member's currently open session at the current time:

/admin-close-session user:@member

This command does not edit a completed session or replace its timestamps.

See User and Session Management for administrator guidance.
