## Description

**Homebase** is an employee scheduling and workforce management app designed for small businesses. Build and share shift schedules, manage availability and time-off requests, enable shift trades, and use templates or an AI scheduling assistant to simplify planning.

Employees can clock in and out, track breaks and overtime, and sync hours to timesheets for payroll review. Homebase also supports payroll management, hiring, HR tools, team messaging, attendance tracking, sales monitoring, and integrations with providers and POS systems including Gusto, QuickBooks Online Payroll, Square, Clover, and Toast. A free plan supports teams of up to 10 employees, with paid plans and add-ons available for advanced scheduling, payroll, hiring, and HR features.

## Review summary

User reviews show the app is easy to use with clear scheduling and timesheets, and supports early wage access, and is valued by teams for its low cost. However, recurring complaints focus on performance issues like lag and glitches and on noisy, sometimes incorrect push notifications that remain despite settings. Some users also report bugs after updates (e.g., missing clock display). Overall, Homebase is appreciated for scheduling and payroll simplicity, but reliability and notification behavior are common pain points.

### Pros

- Strong scheduling and timesheets for teams
- Early wage access/pay on demand feature
- Good value for money and effective for team management

### Cons

- Performance issues: slow, laggy, and glitches
- Disruptive push notifications: persistent or incorrect prompts (e.g., clock-in) and badges when nothing is due
- Bugs after updates (e.g., missing clock display on some devices)
