Launching the 7punches Punch Pad

The 7punches app allows employees to easily clock in and out for their shifts. 7punches is optimized for use on tablets, iPads, or iPod touch devices.

Things to know


Important: To authorize an on-site employee to launch the 7punches app when an Admin is away, you must have "Can edit employees" permissions.

  • An Admin, Manager, or Assistant Manager must initially sign in to 7punches using their 7shifts email and password.
  • Ensure your device is compatible by reviewing 7shifts System Requirements.
  • The app typically remains logged in to eliminate the need for daily credential entry.
