Hourledger — Free Timesheet Approval Dashboard Template
Hourledger focuses on the handoff between recording time and approving it. The employee screen makes intervals and breaks explicit, submission locks the week, and the reviewer screen requires a reason before returning it for changes. Approved reports use a stored snapshot so they do not depend on an editable draft. The three-page download is suitable for prototyping time-entry and approval software or adapting its forms and review controls into an existing application. All records are fictional and local to the browser. Connect your own identity, storage and authorization services before using real work records.

The supplied Bootstrap files are self-hosted, so there is no build step or external script dependency. Changes are stored only in this browser; connect your own authenticated API before using real records. Deploy the folder to any static host.
