Beebole works on any device with a web browser — phone, tablet, or desktop. You can also install it as an app on your device for a native-like experience, complete with an app icon and full-screen mode.

​
Installing Beebole as an app

Beebole is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means you can install it directly from your browser without going through an app store. Once installed, Beebole appears as a standalone app on your home screen or taskbar.

​
On iPhone or iPad

1

Open Beebole in Safari

Navigate to your Beebole account URL in Safari.
2

Tap the Share button

Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen.
3

Add to Home Screen

Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen. Give the app a name and tap Add.

​
On Android

1

Open Beebole in Chrome

Navigate to your Beebole account URL in Chrome.
2

Tap the install prompt

Chrome displays an Install banner or you can tap the menu (three dots) and select Install app or Add to Home screen.
3

Confirm installation

Tap Install. Beebole appears as an app on your home screen.

​
On desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux)

1

Open Beebole in your browser

Navigate to your Beebole account URL in Chrome, Edge, or another compatible browser.
2

Install the app

Click the install icon in the address bar, or go to the browser menu and select Install Beebole.
3

Launch from your desktop

Beebole now appears in your applications list and can be pinned to your taskbar or dock.
The installed app runs in its own window without browser navigation bars, giving you more screen space for your timesheets and reports.

​
Responsive layout

Beebole’s interface adapts automatically to your screen size. Whether you are on a large monitor or a small phone screen, all features remain accessible:
  • Desktop — Full layout with sidebar navigation, detailed tables, and expanded views.
  • Tablet — Optimized layout that adjusts columns and spacing for medium-sized screens.
  • Phone — Compact layout with simplified navigation and touch-friendly controls.
You do not need to switch between different apps or URLs. The same Beebole account works seamlessly across all devices.

​
Theme settings

Beebole supports three theme options to match your visual preference: To change your theme, click the button with your initials at the bottom of the sidebar to open the user menu, then pick Light, Dark, or Auto.
The theme setting is personal and applies only to your account. It does not affect other people in your organization.

​
Logging time on mobile

The mobile timesheet is optimized for touch interaction. It presents your time entries as a scrollable list of days rather than a weekly grid, making it easier to navigate on a small screen.

​
How to log hours

1

Open your timesheet

Tap the hamburger menu icon in the top-left corner to open the sidebar, then tap Timesheet.
2

Add a time entry

Tap the + button at the bottom of the screen (floating action button) or the + icon next to a specific day. The activity selector opens as a bottom sheet.
3

Select a project, task, or absence

Choose what you worked on from the list. Tap a project, task, or absence type to open the time entry editor.
4

Enter your time

In the editor bottom sheet, enter the duration or set start and end times (depending on your account configuration). Your entry saves automatically — tap the back arrow to return to the list.

​
Editing and deleting entries

  • Tap a time entry card to open the editor bottom sheet and update the duration, project, or comment.
  • Swipe left on a time entry to reveal the delete action. Confirm deletion in the dialog that appears.
Editing and deleting are disabled when the timesheet period is locked (submitted or approved). The swipe-to-delete gesture and tap-to-edit are both blocked until the period is unlocked.

​
Using the timer on mobile

1

Start the timer

On a time entry card, tap the play button on the right side of the card. The timer starts and the entry shows a running red counter.
2

Monitor the timer

While the timer is running, a timer bar appears at the top of the header showing the active project and elapsed time.
3

Stop the timer

Tap the red stop button in the timer bar or on the entry card. Beebole saves the elapsed time as the entry’s duration.
The timer only appears on today’s entries and is disabled when the timesheet is locked.

​
Submitting timesheets on mobile

When your timesheet is ready for approval, tap the Submit button in the header. The button is visible when the period is in draft or rejected state and you are viewing your own timesheet. After submission, the period is locked and the header shows the Submitted status badge. If your approver rejects the timesheet, the period unlocks and a Resubmit button appears in its place. The mobile timesheet uses infinite scroll rather than week-by-week navigation:
  • Scroll down to load future periods automatically.
  • Pull down from the top of the list to load previous periods. A pull-to-refresh indicator shows when you have pulled far enough to trigger the load.
  • Month banners appear in the scroll list whenever the date crosses into a new month.
  • A Today button appears in the footer when today is out of view. Tap it to scroll back to the current day.

​
Approving team timesheets on mobile

Managers and administrators see a team button in the header (person group icon) with a badge showing the number of pending approvals.
1

Open the approval sheet

Tap the team icon in the header. The approval bottom sheet slides up with two tabs: Pending and Team.
2

Select a timesheet

Tap a person’s entry in the Pending tab to view their submitted timesheet.
3

Approve or reject

With the submitter’s timesheet open, tap Approve or Reject in the header. Rejection requires a comment.
You can also select multiple timesheets using checkboxes and bulk-approve or bulk-reject them from the action bar that appears at the bottom of the sheet.

Beebole requires an internet connection to sync your data. However, the installed PWA may cache some interface elements for faster loading when you reconnect.
