CareHours: Caregiver Wages
Visit log & pay calculator
Download on the App StoreCareHours is a care-logging and wage-calculation app for home-visit caregivers and registered care helpers.
Who it's for
- Caregivers who visit several clients' homes throughout the day
- Helpers working for multiple agencies who want income tracked per agency
- Anyone tired of logging visits by hand or in Excel
- People who need accurate pay including night and holiday premiums
- Caregivers who submit a monthly PDF activity report to their agency
Main features
- One-tap visit start and stop
Just tap when you arrive. Pick a client, press "Start Visit," and logging begins. When you finish, choose the service type (personal care, daily-living support, etc.), add a note, and save. No complicated steps.
- Automatic pay estimates
Set your hourly rate, night premium (10 p.m.-6 a.m.), and holiday premium, and your estimated pay is calculated the moment a visit ends. Travel time can be included in pay if you choose. Japanese public holidays (2025-2027) are detected automatically, so you can see your monthly earnings in real time.
- Manage multiple clients with per-service rates
Register each client with a name, care service category, and hourly rate. If personal care and daily-living support pay differently, you can set a separate rate per service type. Manage all your agencies and clients in one place.
- Totals by agency (great for multiple jobs)
For helpers juggling more than one agency, the monthly report shows income totaled by agency, handy at tax time or when checking your paycheck. The free version breaks out one agency; Premium breaks out as many as you work for.
- Review your visit history
Browse past visits by month and filter by client. Records can be edited, and pay is recalculated automatically after any change.
- PDF and CSV export for faster reports
Export your monthly activity as a PDF in an A4 layout you can submit to your agency. CSV export lets you manage data in Excel.
Note: PDFs in the free version carry a watermark. Watermark-free PDF and CSV export are Premium features.
- Safe iCloud backup
All records sync automatically to iCloud, so your data moves with you to a new device. You can also log visits offline.

An Android version of CareHours is in preparation. It supports Android 8.0 and later and will be published on Google Play.
Both implementations are checked against the same verification data so that the Android build calculates and judges exactly as the iOS one does. Storage and backup behaviour is described in the privacy policy.
