Nothing you enter leaves your browser

This is both the promise and the technical design. Your clock times, breaks, hours, and pay rate are never sent to a server, stored, or shared. Here is exactly how that holds.

Every calculation on Plain Timecard runs in your own browser with JavaScript. The numbers you type are used to compute a result on screen and nothing more. They are not transmitted anywhere, not saved to any database, and not readable by us, because they never reach us.

What we do not do

  • We do not send your clock times, hours, breaks, or pay rate anywhere.
  • We do not store what you type. Reload the page and it is gone.
  • We do not use a third-party calculator script that could see your input.
  • We do not load fonts from an external font CDN. The fonts are served from this site, so no font provider learns that you visited.
  • We do not set advertising or tracking cookies to run the calculators.

The one thing stored locally

If you switch the site between light and dark, that single choice is saved in your browser's local storage so the page remembers it next time. It stays on your device, is never sent anywhere, and you can clear it by clearing your site data. Nothing you type into a calculator is ever stored this way.

Ads and analytics

Some pages carry ads to keep the site free. Ads are served in a way that does not receive the values you enter into a calculator; the arithmetic never leaves the page. If page-view analytics are ever added, they will count visits only, through a first-party setup, and will never capture what you type. At launch there are no analytics at all.

How you can check

You do not have to take our word for it. Open your browser's developer tools, go to the network tab, and use any calculator on the site. You will see that typing produces no network requests carrying your data. That is why the tools also work with no internet connection once the page has loaded.
