Mobile & Offline
Get complete timesheets and site records from the buildings where phones lose signal.
Basements, garages and concrete buildings often have no signal, and a punch or checklist that fails there turns into a fix for your office the next day. The Clean Smarts mobile app lets cleaners clock in, complete checklists, take task photos, run inspections and report issues with no signal, and uploads each record with the time it happened once the phone reconnects. It runs on iPhone and Android in 30+ languages.
Punches keep the time the cleaner arrived
A punch that fails without signal usually turns into a timesheet fix the next day. In Clean Smarts, an offline clock-in is saved with the phone's time and GPS position, and the timesheet shows the time of the punch, not the time the signal came back.
Checklists, photos and reports stay on the phone until they upload
Work done in a building with no signal still needs a record your office can see. Completed checklist tasks, task photos, inspections and issue reports are stored on the device, and they are still there after the app restarts.
Uploads start when the connection returns
Your office should not have to chase cleaners for work that is still on their phones. The app uploads saved work when it can reach Clean Smarts again, and the Sync screen lists anything still waiting, so the cleaner retries a single item when one is stuck.
Runs on the phones your crew already has
Buying a device for each cleaner adds cost and one more thing to track. One app runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 15 or later) and Android (8.0 or later), in 30+ languages, so your crews use the phones they already carry.
Cleaning crews often work in basements, parking garages and concrete buildings where phones lose signal, and an app that needs a connection leaves gaps in your records. The Clean Smarts mobile app saves that work on the phone and uploads it when the phone reconnects, so your office gets complete timesheets and site records without asking cleaners to re-enter anything.
Punches made without signal keep the time the cleaner arrived
When a clock-in fails in a basement, it usually becomes a text to a supervisor and a timesheet correction the next day. When Marisol Alvarez clocks in at 10:02 PM in a basement, the Clean Smarts app saves the punch with the phone’s time and GPS position, and her timesheet shows 10:02 PM once the phone reconnects. If you require a geofence, the app checks it on the phone before saving, so you pay for the time each cleaner actually worked without adding missing punches the next day.
Saved work uploads when the phone reconnects, and the cleaner can see what is waiting
When work sits on a phone with no way to send it, your office cannot tell whether it was done or lost. The app uploads saved punches, scan points, task photos, inspections and issue reports when it can reach Clean Smarts again, and a blue bar on the home screen shows how many items are still waiting. Your office receives the work without chasing anyone, and the cleaner retries any stuck item from the Sync screen.

Checklists, photos, inspections and issue reports are saved on the phone
Proving what was cleaned is hard when the checklist app needs a signal the building does not have. Your cleaners check off tasks and take photos offline, your supervisors finish inspections with photos and a signature, and on the Expert plan, a task that requires a photo is not marked done without one. When a client asks whether the restrooms were cleaned, the checklist, photos and inspection from that visit are in Clean Smarts.
Your crews use the phones they already carry, in their own language
Buying a device for each cleaner adds cost, and an app in a language a cleaner does not read well is hard to get them to use. Clean Smarts runs on the iPhones and Android phones cleaners already own, in 30+ languages, and on the Expert plan, crews without phones clock in on a shared tablet kiosk at the site. You skip the device purchase, and your cleaners read their screens in the language they know best.
- 30+ Languages in the mobile app
- iOS 15+ iPhone and iPad
- Android 8.0+ Including older, inexpensive phones
Because work done without signal reaches the office with the time it happened, you pay for the hours actually worked and can show a client the checklist, photos and inspection from that visit.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if a cleaner has no signal at clock-in?
The app saves the punch on the phone with the phone's time and GPS position, then uploads it when the phone reconnects. The timesheet records the time of the punch, not the time of the upload, and labels it as coming from the mobile app after a data sync.
Can a cleaner clock in offline from somewhere other than the site?
Offline punches follow the same location settings as online ones. If you require location or a geofence, the app checks it on the phone before it saves the punch, unless that cleaner is set to bypass the geofence. The app also rejects a GPS location the phone reports as faked.
Is anything lost if the app closes before the phone reconnects?
No. Punches, breaks, checklist work, photos, inspections and issue reports are stored on the phone, so they survive an app restart and a full shift without signal.
Does everything in the app work offline?
Field work does, including clocking in and out, breaks, checklists, task photos, inspections, issue reports and scan points. Schedules, checklists and message history stay readable from the last download. Sending a new message and submitting a supply request need a connection, and a message that fails to send can be resent with a tap.
Can we turn off offline clock-in?
Yes. Offline clock in and out is on when a company is created, and an admin can turn it off in the timekeeping settings. With it off, a cleaner who has no connection sees a message that the punch cannot be recorded offline.
Can a cleaner keep clocking in while older punches are still on the phone?
No. Before a new clock-in, the app tries to upload any punches saved on the phone. If that upload fails, the app asks the cleaner to sync first, so earlier time does not stay behind on the device.
Does the app drain the battery?
The app records GPS when a cleaner clocks in and out. It tracks location in the background only while a cleaner is clocked in at a site that uses geofence auto clock-out, and it stops at clock-out.
Which phones and languages are supported?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 15 or later, and Android 8.0 or later, which includes older and inexpensive Android phones. The app is available in 30+ languages, and each cleaner can use it in their own. On the Expert plan, crews without their own phones can clock in on a shared tablet kiosk at the site.
