Wagecop

A mobile app that helps workers track their hours and know what they're actually owed — flagging labor-law violations in real time, like missed lunch breaks or unpaid overtime.

Problem

Hourly workers rarely know, in the moment, when their employer has shorted them. Missed meal breaks, unpaid overtime, and off-the-clock work add up quietly, and by the time anyone notices, the records are gone.

Solution

Wagecop tracks shifts as they happen and applies California wage rules in real time — the same logic behind my top-ranked calculators, in your pocket. When something looks off, like a skipped lunch or overtime that wasn’t paid at time-and-a-half, the app flags it and explains what the rule actually says.

Approach

  • React Native + Expo for a single codebase across Android and iOS.
  • Supabase for authentication and synced shift history.
  • A rules engine that mirrors the calculators’ wage logic so results stay consistent across the product line.

Result

In active development — launching on Google Play first, then iOS.
