Are you tired of fielding non-urgent work calls in your personal time? Do you want to improve your work communication by having clear, non-threatening boundaries for work callers?
Off the Clock allows you to clock off from your work when it’s family time, holiday or a get together with friends, allowing you to achieve a better work/life balance and greater transparency and efficiency in your work communications.
The app allows you to block calls from work contacts but still receive calls from your personal contacts; meaning you don’t have to constantly check who is calling, block all calls, or constantly check voice messages to see if it was an important work or client call.
Simply swipe to make your status unavailable for a period, or schedule regular periods of unavailability, and calls from anyone in your contact list, except personal contacts, will be blocked. Not only that, others using the app will be able to see you are not available from their contacts list and when you have scheduled to be available again. Therefore, they can wait to call you at a later time, leaving you to enjoy your time away from work or doing a task for which you don’t want interruption, and not leaving them feeling bad for calling you on your break or holiday.
But rest assured, if someone still needs to desperately interrupt you they can still select to do this but only after receiving a message urging them to respect your time, so you won’t miss out on that crisis call you actually do need to receive.
Off the Clock has a built-in calendar and automatically synchronises with your existing contacts list.
Organise your contacts:
• “Off the Clock” will synchronise all your contacts through a simple step in your “Settings”
• You will be able to see all your contacts at a glance on the “All” list
• You can then easily select those contacts you want in the “Personal” category
• Those contacts in your “Personal” list will always be able to reach you
• Those contacts left in your “All” list will receive an “Unavailable” message and be blocked according to your ‘unavailable’ schedule you have set
Set your Availability:
• Simply “Add Schedule” from the calendar on the Availability screen
• Set the times and frequency of your unavailability
• Callers on your “all” contacts list will be blocked from reaching you during these times
• Blocked callers will still be able to reach you if it is urgent by selecting to bypass the unavailability message
Change your availability status quickly and easily:
• Busy working schedules fluctuate from day to day and hour to hour – with one swipe you can delete unavailability blocks or add more
Manage blocked callers
• When work is a priority, you can easily block any listed Personal contacts with a click of the tick symbol – putting them back on the work (All) list
• When family and friends are a priority, make sure they are on your “Personal” list, so they can always reach you
With Off the Clock you can;
• Set your Availability status on the App, allowing you to easily let selected callers know when they can call back and make contact with you.
• Set customised “Unavailable” messages to selected ‘blocked’ callers; be they work or personal, whilst letting all other callers through.
• Uses your existing phone contacts
• Being able to dynamically change your availability status through the App, means you can conveniently adjust your work/life times of taking calls.
